Help with a wifi booster Access Point

[Magic_x_uk]

Hi

Work was getting rid of some
Ubiquiti unifi ap ac lite ACCESS points

I grabbed one for home, as may help boost wifi strength.

But apparently this is powered by a Ethernet cable called POE.

How is the best way to sort this as I have the Sky Q Router.

Do I need some poe switch etc

Thanks for any help

How old is the access point? Very early (pre-2017) AP-AC-lite models were 24V PoE, later ones were both 24V and 48V.

You need to match whatever PoE injector/switch you buy to the access point.

Will look at it when I get home. Guess it will tell me on it. Thank you

Just looked. All it says on the back is
M/N uap ac lite
802.3af poe

So I should source a 48v poe injector?

Ideally. A network switch would be better if that could offer poe as well. As used up all the ports on sky q router and my 5 port 1gb normal network switch

Would a poe network switch damage things that don't need poe plugged into it. Like my sky box, av amp, ps5
