I'm asking the same thing.. why are they doing 24 Volt instead of standard POE/POE+?
Because that is what a lot of their gear uses.

I wasn't speculating. It is 24v passive PoE, which I won't use as its not a standard.
Ubiquiti has used the 24V Passive PoE standard forever. This should really not come as a surprise.
Who is going to power everything from a router anyway? That is what your PoE switch is for.
But if you have a single Ubiquiti AP this is the perfect router for you.

@JaredBusch they have plenty that runs on standard POE/POE+. That's part of the reason I use the UAP Pros plus that are dual band.
Door p2p I've had to use the 24v but that's the only real place I see this being used is as a WISP provided router. Espically since it doesn't come with the injector to power it.
-
holy shit, I might have to get one.

That's a pre-order eta is June 2015 if you believe that.
Want to bet $50 on it?
-
@Aaron-Studer That site says available in June.
Definitely do not pre-order.
-
Hm..... Should I try it?

A router that is powered by PoE? Now that is novel.
Passive PoE not standard 48v PoE it's really more useful for WISPs.

That is really the target market for this.

Ordered.
The Seller told me that they have tracking on them, and there coming in tomorrow morning, and he will ship it right out to me, 2 day express
-
So the router has shipping and will be here Friday\Monday.
Anything anyone wants me to test for them?
-
Other than "it works", can't think of much to test. Should be the same as the other EdgeRouters, just a slightly different form factor.
-
Crap, do you think this comes with the POE injector? If not, I will have to order one

no, they are expecting you to have a Passive on from the WISPs AP. It needs to be Passive 24v.

Sorry, I don't understand. They expect you to power it from a AP?
I will be using this with a UniFi AP, will that help? Is the only way to power this POE?
-
Oh, I think I see now. So can I use the POE Injector from my UniFi AP to power the router and AP?
