The cheapest PoE switch to Power EAP772
Hello techies,
What is the smallest/cheapest switch that I can use to power 2xEAP772?
Can I use TP-Link TL-SG1005P?
I am new to Omada equipment.
With a very low budget, how can I power 2xEAP772?

@odhiambo for POE+ power you need devices that say "802.3at PoE" and have 60W+ power budget.
1) EAP just needs a 12V 2.5A wall power supplies, two of those are probably the cheaper than POE.
2) Alternatively, two POE+ injectors e.g. POE160S or POE260S

3) Alternatively a Switch with 2x POE+ ports and 60W+ power budget: e.g. DS105GP or TL-SG1005P

@whereisaaron thanks for taking your time to look into this and provide several options to look at.
I found several options on Amazon. Some were quite attractive, like some from Netgear which had upto 120W PoE budget.
However, my plans wouldn't allow me to wait for the delivery period.
I've decided to go with Omada ES206GP, which appears to be close to what I want for my home lab.
I hope it will serve me better.
