WAX630 and PoE question

I ended up getting a Cudy POE400 90W Ultra PoE++ injector.  And, yes, I do have all 3 bands working just fine with it, but I'll admit that I only have 1 6Ghz device, so it's the only client using that band.  I've had no issues with 3 SSID's hosted on the AP; 2 of which are using all 3 bands (one IoT SSID is only using 2.4 & 5Ghz bands).

Which PoE++ injector did you get, and did it allow your WAX630 to operate at full power on all 3 radios bands?

The WAX630 can operate three radios

4x4 in 5.0GHz H
4x4 in 5.0GHz L
4x4 in 2.4GHz

5.0GHz: 802.11a/n/ac/ax
2.4GHz: 802.11b/g/n/ax

5GHz H: 20/40/80MHz
5GHz L: 20/40/80MHz

To make this possible, there is either one 2.5 GbE port, or two GbE port to be operated in a static LAG of two GbE links.

This magic Cudy POE400 90W Ultra PoE++ injector mentioned does clearly these specs (in some really strange way in my reading).

90W Gigabit PoE/PoE+/PoE++ Injector, Model: POE400

Full IEEE 802.3af IEEE 802.3at,IEEE802.3bt Compliant
● Up to 90W of Power on 4-pairs
● Auto detect of POE IEEE 802.3af IEEE 802.3at,IEEE802.3bt equipment
● Supports 10/100/1000Base-T applications
● LED indicators power input indication
● Distance up to 100 meters
● Internal AC/DC converter – no need for external power modules
● Easy plug-and-play installation
● Surge protection

Strongly doubt this can and will lead to a well performing AX6000 3-radio access point installation. The limitations are becoming more obvious in AX7800 3-radio access point installation, where Netgear does talk of up-to 7.8Gbps total WiFi throughput, supported by a 2.5Gbps Power-over-Ethernet and a 1Gbps Ethernet ports!

6.0GHz: 802.11ax
5.0GHz: 802.11a/n/ac/ax
2.4GHz: 802.11b/g/n/ax

2x2 in 6.0GHz
4x4 in 5.0GHz
2x2 in 2.4GHz

5GHz: 20/40/80/160MHz
6GHz: 20/40/80/160MHz

Said that, take my warnings of deploying such junk or outdated power injectors.

There are these (and many more) reasons why the industry is designing and implementing powerful and capable PoE++ switches. Get a correct spec'ed PoE++ switch supporting at least 2.5 GbE - or wait until the industry does offer full spec power injectors for this kind of deployments, somewhere later in 2023 or early 2024.

in German, I'd say this is "Perlen for die Säue werfen".
