Set up the access point with a PoE network connection
You can connect the access point to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch in your network.
The switch must be connected to a network router that is connected to the Internet. If
you use a PoE connection, the access point does not require a power adapter.
In the access point default AP mode, WiFi clients can connect to the access point and
access your network and the Internet.
