Is Nighthawk R7450 PoE Enabled?

Hello all,

I am about to extend the WiFi with a ceiling-mounted AP, so I need to know if the R7450 Nighthawk AC2600 WiFi Router supplies Power over Ethernet through one of the 4 ports.

Thanks.

    No.

    PoE comes on some LAN switches though.

      Thanks for the information... I suspected as much since there is no mention anywhere else.
      I really didn't want to pace another node, that's why I was asking.

        Most home class routers don't support PoE, thats usually kept to the LAN switches.
