Sorry if this is dumb question, new to POE and just trying to not make a stupid mistake by not asking questions.
I have 7 1852 Access Points located in one area and would like to swap from power injectors to a POE switch so that i can have a clean rack. I show the power draw is 20.9W. I am looking at a 10 port 8POE+ @ 190W,
Is there any step down in using a POE device. wasn't sure about this note below? 802.3af refers to older POE equipment, correct?
Note: If 802.3af PoE is the source of power, (1) the 1852e 2.4-GHz radio will shift to 2x3 from 3x4, (2) The USB port and AUX Ethernet port are disabled on both the 1852i and 1852e.
