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)
