>> Quite Functional but Look at Compatibility List
This adapter kit works just like described the Wireless G Access Points I powered with the two kits I purchased have been up and running for about two months There are only two caveats with this product
1 This device is NOT fully 802 3af compliant Power Over Ethernet It s very very close but even Cisco will admit on the phone that it s not 100 This doesn t have a huge effect but it s worth noting
2 These adapters work fantastically but be sure to call Linksys/Cisco and ensure that what you re trying to power is compatible with this kit Remember it s only got so much juice it can fire down a CAT5 or CAT6 cable so don t think you ll be running the newest Wireless N router with wired ports and multiple bands multiple antennas and all that jazz Keep the device simple and don t overtax the available power
So for me I m powering two WAP54G Wireless G access points and it s working beautifully Keep it around that kind of ballpark and you re good
>> Perfect for WAP devices
I used this to allow me to place my wireless access point in a location that does not currently have a local power source Suffice it to say this product is a cheaper investment then hiring an electrician
As noted in the cons you may want to limit the use of this to 10/100 speed products This may not be the best solution for your router/gateways
It s very easy to install and works perfect I like the fact that it came with it s own power supply It also came with a cat 5e cable Now for the pros and cons
Pros
Easy to install
Perfect compliment to wireless access points
Very inexpensive option when compared to installing a new outlet
Cons
It s heavy and more bulky then I expected It seems unusual for just sending a DC current
I wish it didn t have the built in cat 5 whips I would have preferred that they supply the whips with an option to use something else It s mostly an issue on the switch side I have this dongle hanging from the switch and it wants to pull the switch off the table No issue if your switch is somehow mounted
It appears to be only compatible with Linksys products Not that big of an issue but if I wanted to use a different brand access point this goes out the window
Appears to only transmit at 10/100 So if you have a 802 11 N AP you may not be able to take advantage of the full speed
Although my cons list is larger then the pros I would still recommend this product for anyone that would like to move their WAP to a remote location
>> Watch Out Great but must manually configure 10/100/1000 router port to 10/100 fails on unmanaged 10/100/1000 switches
Great device works fine just have to manually configure 10/100/1000 ports to 10/100 to make it work I bought this unit and struggled for weeks to get it to work right turns out the injector or source device gets confused if you connect it to an auto sensing Gigabit device I tried both a Linksys RVS4000 10/100/1000 router and a Linksys 10/100/1000 autosensing/unmanaged switch If you connect it to a 10/100 device or if you manually set its port on a 10/100/1000 device/router to be restricted to 10/100 speed it works fine but it won t work with a 10/100/1000 unmanaged switch at all at least not the Linksys model switch I use It seems the 10/100/1000 switch is unable to detect that the WAPPOE12 can only operate at 10/100 so it assumes 1000 and fails Hopefully this is something Linksys could fix in future hardware revisions of either their switches/routers or the injectors to add graceful 10/100/1000 speed negotiation but currently it s an undocumented gotcha just make sure you can manually set the source port to 10/100 and it will work fine
