POE powered access point - with a POE port for CCTV camera ?
Hi, does anyone know of a Netgear Wireless Access Point that is powered by POE and provides a POE RJ45 port to power a poe enabled CCTV camera? Regards

Your looking for an AP that passes through the POE?
I'm not aware of any that does as usually the AP is needing every watt that the POE connection can put out.
Thanks for your time. I have poe that comes from my garage to my workshop at the end of the garden - where I work. That powers a pass through switch that lets me connect POE to the camera and also hook to an access point providing me network to work with. The pass-through switch seems to have failed in some way and now no longer connects successfully to the camera. I could just replace the pass-through switch but figured that given I'd probably have to spend £80 on a new switch then I might be better off looking at a WAP that also acts as a pass-through switch. By the looks of things that doesn't exist. New switch it is then 🙂
Best Regards
Did you check to see if the switch actually failed? Most POE switches can't passthrough much power and it could be the camera/AP you're running is needing more power than the switch can supply
When I first installed it in 2015 it all worked as planned. More recently, probably over the last 18 months or so, the camera would drop off and to get it back on I used to reboot everything. I decided to have a fiddle this week with the pass-through switch, changing ports and updating firmware (although the Netgear GS105PE is no longer supported) to no avail - get a flashing light on the port of the switch indicating a POE fault. I decided to check that it wasn't the camera and connected the POE from the garage directly to the camera - works fine - so accepted that the common denominator was likely to be the switch. As my old router, in AP mode, needs to be plugged in I thought I could combine pass-through switch and AP in one unit which would free up a power socket in the workshop. Thanks anyway.
