If you are using adjacent standalone access points, use different radio frequency channels
to reduce interference. For more information, see Change the channel for a radio on
page 93.
Set up and connect the access point to your
network
You can connect the access point to a Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+, 802.3at) 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.
Note: Depending on the product ordered, the package might not include a power
adapter. You power up the access point by connecting it to a PoE+ switch. If you ordered
a package without a power adapter but do not want to use a PoE+ connection, you can
still order a power adapter as an option.
If connected to 2.5 Gbps equipment, the access point LAN PoE+ port supports Ethernet
speeds up to 2.5 Gbps within your LAN. The following figure show a NETGEAR
MS510TXUP switch, which supports speeds of 2.5 Gbps and higher, as well as PoE+. If
your Internet connection, modem, router, and switch support a speed of 2.5 Gbps, the
access point’s Internet connection also functions at 2.5 Gbps. Otherwise, the Internet
connection functions at 1 Gbps, which is a common speed.
