PoE is often used when the goal is to place WiFi access points in locations where there is no existing electrical outlet, or installing an outlet would be difficult (or expensive).
Sort of frustrating that the Netgear Technical Specifications (used to be called Product Data Sheet) and User Manual do not specify what the power requirements are for 370 satellites.
PoE comes in four strengths: 15.4W, 30W, 60W, and 100W (which actually deliver less due to cable loss).
Would be a fascinating engineering task to determine what to put at the far end that will product the correct voltage and amperage to power a 370 satellite.
There are plenty of WiFi access points that are designed to be powered over the Ethernet cable.
