Netgear WAX630 Official power supply
Hi, I don't have a 802.3bt capable switch so as I understand it I'll need to use a power supply to get full performance from the Netgear WAX630. Could someone confirm the model number of power s...
Not sure on the POE info but the matching power supply takes a 12vdc 3.5amp power supply.
so a roughly 42 watt supply.
From the part you posted, it look like s a12v, 1.5amp device. That wouldn't work.
You can use 3rd party power supplies, you just have to make sure they have the same volts and polarity. It can have more amps but not less or you'll have stability issues.
Thanks for your help, it looks like there is an official version of the AP that comes with a power supply, is there any way to source that particular one that you know of? Can't find anything on netgear official site.
I haven't found that netgear sells power supplies by themselves. We usually have to advise people to source 3rd party supplies.
Luckily, they're pretty common/easy to find because its a standard plug/polarity/voltage they use.
Not sure about the ubiquiti power supply as there isn't a model to see what specs it uses. From the manual, here's what it needs:
If you do not use a power adapter, the LAN/PoE++ port requires 802.3bt (PoE++)
power but might also function with 802.3at (PoE+) power. We recommend that you
use 802.3bt (PoE++) powerThank you,
I'll look to source a 3rd party power supply with 12v 3.5a then.
Thanks again for your help.
