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.

I've used the WAX218 with great success. There's a bunch of other models so I'd just search for what features you'd prefer.
You can go here:
Wireless Access Points - Wifi Access Points | NETGEAR
and there's a filter for POE. Easy way to see whats available and covers your needs.

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)
