Back in March I reported a problem with PoE power being used on the OpenWrt One even when the USB power was plugged in.
The thread was here: https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2025-March/043842.html As David Lang summarized: > I would expect that if it's plugged in to USB, PoE appearing or > disappearing would not matter > but ideally, as long as either has power would be the best (just combining > the two power sources together via diodes or something like that) > David Lang and I wondered: a) did this learning get into the OpenWRT Two? b) I assume later production runs of the OpenWRT One still have this problem. c) is disabling the PoE still hard to do... maybe there any easy to cut trace? I only ran into this at IETF Hackathon, and now that I know, I know to insert an unmanaged switch inline. I wasn't trying to use PoE at the time, it just happened. --- {On a mostly unrelated note, anyone seen a PoE powered switch or router, which can *also* supply PoE power "downstream" to another device? Yes, it obviously has to negotiate enough power... This is for adding a PoE powered camera in a place that currently has only a PoE powered phone} -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | IoT architect [ ] [email protected] http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [
