I bought the Ubiquiti 6+ access point. I pulled a LAN cable from the ground floor to the basement from the router and installed a switch with power. PS5 runs via the switch. The Ubiquiti 6+ doesn't even light up. There is also no light on the switch.
Do I now have to install a Ubiquiti U-POE-AF between the switch and the access point? I also have an adapter between the router and access point on the ground floor and that works.
Thought the switch was enough 😔
So do I also need the adapter in the basement? Or do I have to use a PoE with more outputs, but no switch? PS5 simply has to run too.

Accepted Answer

This could be because the switch is supplying too little power for the AP... To be on the safe side, you could install the injector, then the AP will certainly have enough power

Answer

I would check the charging cable, and if that is OK, check the network with the PE to see if that is also OK because I have already laid such parts up to 40 m long and there were no problems at all with the transmission of power and LAN, if the lamp was not switched off at the Ubiquiti 6+ access point beforehand, it should definitely light up.
