Connecting EAP211 Client to EAP615

Saturday

Model: EAP211-Bridge KIT

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Trying to connect EAP211 Client to EAP615 so that the remote building can enjoy wireless access in addition to the wired access from the EAP211.

The EAP211 does not have POE out and the EAP615's only power source is ETH0-POE in. Is the right workaround to add a POE switch?

EAP211 -> Passive PoE Adapter -> POE Switch -> EAP615

It would have been really nice if the EAP211 had POE out instead of passive POE.

Many thanks,

Robert

Thanks for posting here.

Yes, that's the correct powering method.

I’d like to remind you that EAP211 Client already has a wireless SSID broadcast, and the SSID is the same as the main one.

Therefore, we usually don’t need to add an additional EAP to provide WiFi coverage.

If I misunderstood your plan, don't hesitate to let me know.
