So if i buy this and the UAP AC I will not need to run an network cable back to my router to power the access point. Only from AP to tough switch?

Yes the Tough Switch will provide power to the AP therefore no need for the supplied PoE converter.
1349084
Correct but keep in mind, the Ubiquiti AP's come with a ac/ethernet power injector adapter so any switch/router will work.
1349085
You will need to run a cable for the actual internet connection but not for the power. The switch has a separate power adapter just like your router does.
1349086
As long as the UAP AC is a POE (power over ethernet) device then the POE switch will provide the power and you will only network cable from device to switch.
1349087
Yes, I use this with the UniFi AP-LR and it powers it great. You still need ethernet cable from ToughSwitch to your network for data.
1349088
That is correct. The tough switch has a special power adapter that powers the switch and the switch powers the access point POE. You will need a data cable from the tough switch to your router for communication purposes.

This unit will not power the UAP AC. This AP requires 48v PoE. You will need to buy the Ubiquiti TS-8-PRO ToughSwitch 8 Port.

Correct, just an AP. You just plug it into the power injector and from the power injector to your router. Power injector is included.

To do this vCard the easiest way i know. I run a cable to an access point, my experience using routers as an access point is horrible,especially linksys and cisco. Ubiquiti makes some points that are inexpensive and dependable. I also use switches that let me hardwire printers to the network. Some access points have builtin switches. Depending how far your neighbor is you put an access point in the room closest to them and use a range extender for them to pickup your signal. Btw: a heavier duty access point gives a lot more range. I use a ubiquiti commercial grade and do not need any others in my 2 story house.

Actually Luc Roy, Your wrong... This switch can be powered from a POE switch. I plugged this switch into a Meraki 24Port POE switch this morning and was using 7W of power to power the switch. It Than also powered to Access Points. Hope this helps.

This unit needs power. It comes with a adapter that you can plug into a local 120v outlet or you can run ethernet to it and use POE (Power over Ethernet). Either way there will be at least one cable running to it. It is wireless capable so you can use the wireless router for the ethernet connection.

A power adapter is only required on the unit you plug into your router/switch. The other ones get their power from the DirecTV receiver they are plugged into via coax. The ac adapter is not overly bulky but you should be able to match input/output voltages and use a compatible one you buy elsewhere but like I said, the included one is small enough and you'd be hard pressed to find anything smaller. I'm not home at the moment otherwise I'd list the voltage. If you are using the DECA to provide network connectivity to a device other than a DirecTV receiver then each adapter will need power since it won't be plugged into the receiver via coax.

These are AP's only. I have them configured so that each AP is hard wired to its own Ethernet connection. according to my search and forum posts on community.UBNT.com, it is not possible.

Hello Steve:This device allows you to send electricity (power) to the Access Point, using the same Ethernet patch cable, from the switch to the Access Point.This way, there will be no need to connect it to an electrical outlet. Please note that the switch has to be capable of supporting inline power over Ethernet (POE).

To the power outlet yes, but not to a LAN cable. I use it exclusively ob wi-fi and it never failed.
1003420
Yes. It will power their UniFi access points. I use it for that very purpose.

No, they are not. This is a sore spot with me. I worked with tech support a long time and they finally told me it's NOT supported in AP mode, only router mode. I ended up hanging an old AP off the DMZ of my firewall port for guest access and use the AC66U as my main AP for the wireless devices in the home. Other than that, the device seems decent enough. I have a USB hard drive hanging off it to share DLNA stuff, but also do this via GoogleTV box too. Lots of options these days.

The Cisco switch will provide an IP address to the AP, but it will NOT power it. The POE adaptor supplied with the Unifi AP must be used to power that device.

The power of this unit is very strong, but it does not live well with a router that wants to refresh the IP lease. Check with Amped Wireless tech support to see if the Router you are using will work with it. Th Amped AC2000 is a wireless access point that has good range too and is happy on any network. good luck John

This is a router not an AP. You will not need a managed switch. Keep in mind that this router is very powerful and with that comes some complexity in mgmt. So far though it has been worth a little extra time. Excellent product.

I guess this would only be neede dif I had three or more units, since the router/switch would need a power supplt too. Then again, the switch could use power from a power strip, which is not recommended for the XAV-101.

Negative. You need to have a pie injector or a pie switch that provides the voltage needed to power poe devices. A standard router will not power anything via Ethernet ports.

the PoE feature doesn't add current draw (power consumption) unless you're actually using it...unless a PoE device is connected. There is no benefit to disabling the feature.
