Add WAX630 to SXK80/SXS80 network?

Hi, I have a location with only PoE so I can't add a SXS80 AP. Can I use a WAX630 instead or is this incompatible with the Orbi Pro mesh network?

Thanks.

Dankoe,

Is there any technical solution that supports PoE with Orbi Pro devices?

I'm afraid there is none. All of the Orbi Pro devices uses a power adapter to power it on.

Dankoe,

Welcome to the community! 🙂

The WAX630 is not compatible to sync with the SXK80 or to any Orbi Pro device.
