Setting Up A UniFi PoE Injector!

[@letter2steve]

Great job. Super helpful. This is the perfect video size to send a friend/customer. Thanks

[@XxdartvaderxX]

The company that provides my internet years ago used ubiqiti poe injectors now the recently switched too some chinese company that supply them and we run alot of devices in our house im wondering if this might be causing our random drops too our isp (wisps) because we are running alot of things during the day

[@CONCERNNIGHBORS]

do i hook up the LAN PORT directly to my internet router

[@steam_engings_are_cool]

Yes

[@JamesTeaero]

Best detailed video. Was very helpful for me.

I have the dream router and U6 long range and i bought the POE++ injector from unifi. My UDR is downstairs and my U6 Long range is upstairs. Upstairs I have a poe port, so i connected like you said the lan port from the injector with my poe port in the wall and my poe++ port from the injector with my access point. It works, but I still get this message in my network configuration from the u6: This access point is connected to a port, which does not supply sufficient power for optimal operation. To ensure reliable and full-capacity performance, please connect the access point to a PoE+ compliant port. I was hoping that the injector could fix this problem, but it doesn't.. Did I do something wrong?

[@KoenRodrigus-p7r]

UPDATE: the problem was the connection in my wall with the poe port of the UDR. Once I changed it to a non POE port from the router the POE++ could take over.

What sizes do POE is needed for and access point mesh pro

Thanks so much! I have my tplink switch (non poe) and router in the garage downstairs, so I plugged the POE injector to power and switch Now I have an ethernet port upstairs that I want to attach the AP, would it just work through that port or the should the injector be upstairs attached directly to the AP?

[@gbnetworks8722]

If the port upstairs is not poe then the access point will not work for the port. You would have to take the poe injector and plug the Lan port into the wall from the poe injector, then you would plug the port that says poe on the injector into the access point. That should make the access point work.

Thanks so much for the helpful video! It’s just what I was looking for!

[@sychanneru1592]

Hi,thanks for your video! I am wondering,what are the alternatives to that "space-ship" looking thing? Hahaha. My father was given by his friend that white injector(the box-shaped one + some cables). Thanks!

[@arlindkrasniqi3315]

What is the model number for this poe injector?

[@alexsisto8780]

Can I connect from a internet router to the power injector then from there to my wifi router or do I need a switch

[@rodheadz92]

You can but it will not give the switch poe power. You will need to heft a Poe switch.

[@anaesthetist]

I have a query regarding this PoE injector. Will this injector pass through the 2.5 Gb speed or just a 1 Gig?

[@asawdish]

Did you ever figure this out?

[@L3G3ND0FJUL1]

I have the same question

[@shervinaryan2631]

Question, if these are being used as a wireless AP, I'm not required to plug an ethernet cable from the injector to my switch/router, correct? I can just power the AP using the injejector and then connect the AP wirelessly to my router?

[@nodd85]

If you’re going to wirelessly link to another access point for data then yes, you can use a Poe injector to just provide power. But you’d have to have another UniFi access point that’s connected via an Ethernet wire to uplink too. Is that what you mean?

[@shervinaryan2631]

@@nodd85 what I'd be doing is purchasing three access points, one of which will be powered using the injector and connected to my router via ethernet using the Poe injector and the other two will be connected wirelessly but powered using the injector and only using the injector to power the access points, not hardwired to my router.

[@nodd85]

@@shervinaryan2631 That will work. I’m assuming you can’t get ethernet runs to the other 2 locations?

[@shervinaryan2631]

@@nodd85 no, I wish. The main problem will be the 2nd floor but I'm waiting to move into the property in June to see if I have the ability to fish up a cable, which I doubt. The main problem will be the 2nd floor. The basement is unfinished so it'll be hardwired as well. Thank you for the help!

[@nodd85]

@@shervinaryan2631 I understand, sometimes you gotta work with what you have. Good luck with the move. If you have any questions after you set it all up let me know.

[@ds_7]

I am so confused, why do I need a switch? What does the switch even do?

[@Ownage4lif31]

Lots of things lol You don't need a switch for this scenario. Instead of a switch just plug it into a lan port to your router. Most switches nowadays already comes with a couple poe ready ports anyway.

[@monicapple]

thanks, was exactly what I was looking for!

[@taz2392]

How many access points can you use with that switch?

[@gbnetworks8722]

This is the US-8-60W POE switch in the video. It has 4 regular non-poe ports and 4 poe ports. So technically this could power 4 access points.

[@timmark4190]

Does this do 10g?

[@misc8867]

Great video, only suggestion is that in the future dont wave your hand in the video all that much :D
