POE is the key - if you have a POE switch, all you need to run is CAT 5 or 6 to the locations where you want to have an AP. It doesn’t need to have an electrical outlet.
I have two AC-Pros in my house (one in the roof and one in the basement) that both go back to the same switch and it works beautifully. They’re on the same WiFi network and each client connects to whichever AP it suits it better. On Tue, Mar 24, 2020 at 3:18 PM Naushad Zulfiqar <z00...@gmail.com> wrote: > That would be correct.
