Connecting a Netgear WAX630 AP (30,1W) to a Netgear GC510P (POE+ or 802.3at or 30W MAX)
Hi everyone-- It seems I bought the wrong switch :( My setup regarding my question is me using a WAX630 access point and a Netgear GC510P POE+ switch. Since the power consumption of the AP always w...
Well, almost fine. They still keep the door open to state the possibly limited to 30W at the PSE (or just 25.5W at the PD on the maximum cable lenth) can lead to a preformance or functionality limitation. It's a little bit more than just the .1W FWIW.
Hi Kurt--
Thanks for the quick reply. So sum up if I understood your reply correctly:
1. The message of the Netgear AP's GUI is incorrct.
2. The AP is not reduced in performance or throughput when connecting to "just" a POE+ class4, 802.3at switch which only supports 30W max.
3. If AP hits the power limit of 30W+ and will reboot, one should consider to buy a more powerful POE++ switch (e.g. models suggested by you).
In other words: "ignore the message, you are fine!". Is that it? Does that sum it up?
Thanks and best wishes,
Alex
