Wireless-G Exterior Access Point
To link your wired network with your wireless network, connect the Access Point's Ethernet network port to
any switch or router with Power over Ethernet (PoE)—or a PoE injector, such as the Linksys WAPPOE or
WAPPOE12. Note that 12 VDC on WAPPOE12 is for the splitter output. Both PoE Injectors provide 48
VDC power output.
With these and many other Linksys products, your networking options are limitless. Go to the Linksys
