Hi

 

I have not bought the TL-PA9020P KIT, yet. I am looking for advice to get the right product. 

 

I need a pair of pass-through GigaBit ethernet power line adapters so that I can connect a new WiFi AP (Ubiquiti) to my existing router (Ubiquiti). I do not need the powerline adapters to handle WiFi.


There are two things I have not been able to confirm from the TL-PA9020P descriptions:

  1. The AP requires PoE. Does the powerline adapter provide that?
    (I want to avoid a separate PoE injector. Enough wires as it is!)
  2. The router and AP support VLANs (802.1Q). Will the powerline adapter to pass VLAN ID along?
    (I found a community post that suggested it would be OK, but it related to a different tp-link product number in a different region.)

 

Thank you for reading my questions.

 

Other suggestions for connecting the AP and router gratefully received. However, the router is fairly new, so I do not want to start again with tp-link One Mesh. Maybe next time. Sorry :-)

 

Best wishes

 

Phil
