NETGEAR WiFi 6 AX1800/AX3600 Dual Band PoE/PoE+ Access Points, WAX214 and WAX218
Figure 8. Set up model WAX218 with a PoE+ connection to your network
Note: The LAN/PoE+ port on model WAX218 supports Ethernet speeds up to 2.5 Gbps.
The previous figure shows a NETGEAR MS510TXPP switch, which supports speeds of
2.5 Gbps and higher. However, if your Internet connection, modem, and switch support
a speed of 1 Gbps (which is a common speed), the access point LAN connection functions
at 1 Gbps.
To set up the access point with a PoE or PoE+ connection to your network:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN/PoE (model WAX214) or LAN/PoE+ (model
WAX218) port on the access point.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to switch that is connected to your
network and to the Internet.
• Model WAX214: Connect the cable to a PoE port on a PoE (802.3af) switch. You
can also use a PoE+ (802.3at) switch.
• Model WAX218: Connect the cable to a PoE+ port on a PoE+ (802.3at) switch.
We recommend that you do not use a PoE (803.2.af) switch because the provided
power might be insufficient for this model.
3. Check to see that the LEDs light.
