OK, I bought this switch with POE to supply power to my Google Wifi Home Mesh network. One of these node plug into the switch and is called Node1. I need to have it in a location with no AC so I wanted to use a POE to supply the power to this device. However, I cannot seem to get the switch/POE side to activate on ports 1,2,3 or 4. So I'm not sure how to get this to work. Seems like its configured corrrectly. So I then when and bout an unmanaged POE swithc from Netgear and this won't supply power to the devices either. Any thoughts?
I look at the Google Home WiFi units and seems that they are not PD devices, so they can not be powered by a normal PoE switch even that they have an ethernet port. In this case I would recommend that you explore to add an AP like our WAC510 instead of the google wifi that are PoE powered or you can try to find a PoE Splitter solution that supports PoE in their input and have a USB-C output to be able to power the google wifi.

Thank you so much for your response. I had just got off the phone with Google who stated that these are NOT POE. I honestly didn't think about that at all. Thank you again for your support and recommendations.
