Answer: For certain AP models that come without a DC adapter input and only feature an Ethernet port, you can power the device using one of the following methods:

  1. PoE Switch: Connect your wireless AP to a PoE switch. This switch not only provides network connectivity but also delivers power through the Ethernet cable.
  2. PoE Injector: If you don't have a PoE switch, a PoE Injector is an effective alternative. This device adds power to the Ethernet cable which you can then plug into your AP.

It's important to check the specific PoE standard requirements for your AP model, as they can vary. You can find these details in the model's specification sheet.
