Wifi AP using PoE

I'm installing an ethernet cable in my home in a hallway and want to put an WiFi AP there. No mains power available.
It seems only business models use PoE.
Any recommendations?

    You can use business class equipment in a home. They will sell it to you. 

    I'd only make sure to keep an eye out for those that require a subscription for certain capabilities.

      Those are all n the "Business" section. 
      Will netgear sell one to me for home use?

      (I am retired SW developer, so I should be able to figure it out)
