Hi guys
Recently spent a small fortune on a PoE doorbell and installation, including running an Ethernet cable. It works great with the PoE injector it came with.
However, I really wanted to avoid using the injector if possible, so I looked at wireless routers that had PoE output. I did some research (I found out later, not enough) on this. It seemed there were no wireless routers with PoE out, except the MikroTik hAP ac3.
It got good reviews, and I was hoping the PoE would power my doorbell device. After all, the official YouTube video had a lovely young lady say this would "power other devices". I later found out that that essentially just means other MikroTik devices.
Anyway, turns out the PoE in the PoE output is not powerful enough to power any substantial devices.
I know a solution is to buy a selesrare PoE switch, but I'd just be swapping the power outlet used for the injector for the one used on the switch.
Does anyone know if MikroTik have plans in the future to implement the PoE standard on any future products?
