I need the POE ports for q-see IP cameras. Can I hook up the TV, Blueray, etc., to the other non-POE ports? The router is full right now.

Yes. This switch acts like a normal Ethernet switch (all of the ports are "connected" to each other so devices connected to any port can "talk" to each other"). The only difference is that power is injected onto some otherwise unused wires (10/100 Ethernet doesn't use every wire in a standard Cat-5e cable) on the ports labeled "PoE". This means you could connect, for example, a PoE camera on one of the PoE ports, and connect a PC, a printer, and a router to the non-PoE ports. The PC will see the camera, the printer and the router, and the camera will also receive its power over the Ethernet cable, so it doesn't need a separate power plug. Yes.

I have 4 POE access points hooked to them and the other 4 drops go to network equipment, ie xbox, TV, AV receiver. Everything works great with no hiccups.

Yes. You can connect the TV, Bluray, etc. to the non POE ports because they do not get powered that way (they have their own power supply). I use this router with IP cameras as well, and use the non POE ports for my laptop.
1180725
Yes, I have a similar configuration now. You'll need one non-poe port to hook to the router which will be your uplink. Then, you can use the extra non-poe ports for whatever you want.

These aren't routers, just access points. Use any cheap old wireless router and just turn off the wireless and connect one of these (data side) the router. This is what I do. I don't use POE on mine but it should look like: Injector --&gt; AP--&gt;Router--&gt; Modem.

Yes it is. I have installed over a 100 of these units without any problems. You should have 4 switchable POE ports and one non-POE port for up link to your network. Make sure all switches are in the power on mode for each port and you should be good to go. If not, request a return for new product.

Larry, Each POE IP camera requires a dedicated Ethernet 5/6 cable. Can't split pairs... Good luck

I bought this one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QYEN1W/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It works just fine. I have had zero issues with it. However it only has 4 POE ports. I'm pretty sure trendnet also makes a model with 8 POE ports. Hope this info helps.

This model does not have PoE. The models that end with a p have PoE. According to Cisco every model in this product line except the 20 port has a PoE option

I have non POE cameras so I had to purchase POE converter boxes so that I could hook network and power to my existing cameras. However, if the camera is built for POE.....plug and play. I have all 4 POE ports powering 3 security cameras with POE splitters and one POE access point. I have not had to touch the switch for months. Exactly what I wanted and once again, TrendNet delivered at a fraction of the cost!

PoE simply means it can be powered by just ethernet if you're using a PoE switch. Usually hard wiring PoE equipment is the desired outcome, but I don't think there's anything to stop you from getting a wireless antenna and using that. However, you'll have to plug the camera in somewhere.If you don't want to use PoE, the non-PoE version of this camera is ~$20 cheaper and an antenna is ~$7. There's also a two pack with antennas for ~150.

I haven't installed mine but I don't think it supports PoE, this is the website with the specifications http://foscam.us/foscam-fi8906w-outdoor-wireless-ip-camera-139.html

You must have router access for any IP camera to setup the ports, your best bet is to get a secondary router and use it as a slave for the camera's.

Cameras that accept power over ethernet connect to POE. I would make sure the camera you are using is POE before connecting. The LAN side plugs into a switch or router.

Does not accept the standard POE, you need to use a passive POE injector (like this: http://amzn.com/B00DZLSRJC)

You'll need a PoE switch and a router. Someone had mentioned in previous answers that the NVR has 8 PoE ports that IS NOT TRUE. THIS UNIT ONLY HAS 4 RJ45 PORTS. For the other 4, you would need to add them from within the LAN but outside of the physical NVR. Why they didn't just have 8 ports.... who knows.

Not wireless. POE is power over ethernet. Keep looking. There's a similar one that is wireless.

Here is a POE solution.. "PoE Injector/Splitter" I just ordered 2, seems to have good reviews, if it works then no need to worry about getting cameras with POE anymore...And it is really inexpensive... Under $7 Prime! Item: B00DZLSRJC http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DZLSRJC/

That is right. Just remember that you need 4 cords cat5. One conect your ISP router with the POE adapter, other connect your POE adapter with your M2 and same for the other side of you point to point link.

There is a new model that DOES supports POE (in fact, it drops the normal power supply connector, so you MUST use POE) - just got one off Aliexpress and it works as expected.
