Getting error when trying to give TP-Link AP 'High Power Mode' with 802.3at
Hello,
I have been having issues lately trying to make port(s) for 'TP-Link EAP330 model' that requires '802.3 at' mode for PoE as per manufacturer.
I get an error every time I try to specify this: Error: Failed to Set 'High Power Mode' with 802.3 at.
Software version is for current NetGear: 5.3.0.29
Software version is for current NetGear: B5.2.0.2
When I look at the connected PoE device(s), I am seeing Blinking Green light which leads me to believe that this is not 'at' mode as per NetGear’s KB article on question 7: https://kb.netgear.com/24423/GS105PE-FAQs
I know I am still getting power (af mode most likely) to it but it needs much more power as per their support team which should be 'at' mode:
TP-Link Technical Support Engineer: ‘802.3 at’ can support max 30 watt power, but ‘802.3 af’ just support max 15 watt power which cause insufficient power supply for EAP330.
I have been through numerous forums on here and I see some resolutions as being: able to update the firmware, reboot the AP, etc.
Would there be any other solution than the above? I have several connected devices and I do not want to try the above or might need to after business hours.
Attached photos of error and current conected AP's on the switch.
Regards,
George

Hi GeorgeOdisho,
Welcome to NETGEAR community!:smileyhappy:
The GS752TPS only support 802.3AT on 1-8 ports and other ports support 802.3AF.
You can reference following screenshot from product document.
So please move the high power devices to port 1-8 if you want the devices get 30W 802.3AT power.
May the solution help you.:smileyhappy:
Thanks,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel,
I wanted to reply yesterday about this just before I left but thanks for the info as I had figured this out with an assistance from internal staff that those ports are the only ones that offer PoE-at mode. We were able to place the AP's on those specific ports and get 'at' mode to work.I appreciate your feedback, nonetheless.
Regards,
George
