Ubiquiti AirRouter HP
the "Poor Hams" connection to an external 12vdc source
NOTE: do not use for the non-HP model !
(it runs off 5v, and not 12v like the HP model)
Power can be supplied to the AirRouter via its WAN jack. Pin 4 of the RJ-45 is the positive, pin 7 the negative
using these two devices:
Example:
Note: thanks to CL's mentioning... I should have included that the POE actually uses 4 pins for power to the node, both 4 & 5 for the positive, and both 7 & 8 for the negative. The above homemade adapter is only 3 inches long. With this short of length, there's no concern with voltage loss when just using two pins total. If you go much longer, it's better to run all 4 paths.
And... YES, you can use the power cube from a Linksys router.
