Also, the ports on the ER-X are gigabit as well, so practically speaking, assuming the switch is connected to one of the ER-X LAN ports, you can connect to either. It might be super-marginally better to connect to one or another to reduce contention or switch hops somewhere (which will depend on wh

Where is the switch in your network? I don't recall seeing that detail. On Sun, Dec 22, 2019 at 1:09 PM Rich Shepard wrote: > On Sun, 22 Dec 2019, wes wrote: > > > The phrasing here is not as clear as it could be. It sounds like you're > > referring to the two connections as if they are totally

Your PoE injector should directly feed the device it is powering. Injector's ports should be clearly marked as to which one is upsteam and downstream. -T On Sun, Dec 22, 2019, 13:00 Rich Shepard wrote: > On Sun, 22 Dec 2019, wes wrote: > > > For best results, it should go directly before the d

[PLUG] Connecting PoE injector

While the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter-X supports PoE in and out the maximum 24v it supports is less than that required by the Meraki WAP so I bought a PoE injector and have a question about it's position in the netwrok. The PoE injector needs a gigabit port for input. Both the ER-X (perhaps eth4) and the
