Note: The LAN/PoE port on model WAX214 supports Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps.
Most switches support speeds of up to 1 Gbps.
Figure 10. Set up model WAX218 with a non-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 non-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 a switch that is connected to your
network and to the Internet.
3. Connect the power adapter to the access point and plug it into an electrical outlet.
4. Check to see that the LEDs light.
