WAX610 won't connect via 802.3AT
I have 3 WAX610's around my house and they are all powered via POE+ but all of the units are only pulling about 9W which is causing them to all flag issues saying they are running on 802.3af. The sw...
My issue ended up being the switch didn't support it. Sorry probably not much help for you but figured I would let you know
Please tell us more about the PoE+ switch where the WAX610 does fail to handshake anything beyond of 802.3af . switch make, model, firmware, cable length, ...
On some switch brands, switch models, and hardware variants, it's required to enable the PoE/PoE+ allocation using LLDP information to overcome the DLC (Data Link-Layer Classification). LLDP can negotiate power with a PD by using LLDP MED TLVs (disabled by default sometimes). This makes it possible to provide power for PDs requiring more power then DLC does initially request and allow.
I'm using a cheap Steamemo 5 port gig 52W POE switch from amazon(see link below). I'm guessing you're right with the handshake issue as all three are only operating at around 8W per AP. There is no setting for LLDP as the switch is extremely basic. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Hi,
I hope you are running the latest firmwares on the AP. If not then please try upgrading to the latest available firmware.
Thanks!
