Ethernet Ports on RAX50 (AX5400)

Do the four Ethernet ports on the RAX50 (AX5400) router support PoE or PoE+?  According to the specs on the Netgear website they do.  That would be great if true but I'm guessing it's just a typo.  See attached photo.

 

(Note: I am asking about PoE (Power over Ethernet), not PPPoE which is a different thing.)

 

Thanks!

   Which you found where, exactly?  (Thanks for the helpful link.)

 

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get some.  Read.  Look for "PoE".  (Prepare for
disappointment.)

The RAX50 does not have any POE ports, basically is is a single gigabit WAn port, and 4 LAN ports each at 1GbE.

 

If you need POE, then you will be stick with either getting PoE injectors or buying a basic POE switch.

 

If you end up going the PoE switch route consider getting something slightly higher end so that you have more room to grow.
