It really does work with 12v [Posted on 2005-12-02] I have the WRT54G v.2 that uses a 12 volt power supply. I plugged this PoE in and it worked right way even thought it said 5v output. It has been running now for 4 months with no problems. I guess the reviewer who is "the engineer with 25 years experience" was incorrect- experience does not count for actually doing it.
Great Product, Shouldn't Be Used With 12V Equipment. [Posted on 2006-02-08] I'll be the second engineer to tell you not to use this product with any 12V equipment. Devices require some fixed amount of power to operate and when you supply 5V to a device that expects 12V, it's going to get the power, at the expense of drawing over twice as much current. This will cause the device to operate outside its operating specifications, probably run hotter, and probably fail earlier.
12 Product Solution [Posted on 2006-10-31]
Linksys makes a version of this unit ( WAPPOE12 ) - that is designed for 12 volt systems.
great idea, poor POE standard support [Posted on 2007-09-24] says it will work with standard POE on Linksys WAP200 without the endpoint adapter, but it made the ethernet flaky. to get it to be reliable I had to use both ends.
Easy to use [Posted on 2007-12-29] The hardest part I had in setting up the product was identifying the ethernet cable that went to the remote location. After that was taken care of, I plugged everything in and it worked. (Yes, I'm working on labeling my cables.)
