Rating: Summary: Not what it appears to be... Review: According to D-link's website description of this product:The DWL-P100 Power Over Ethernet (POE) Adapters are accessory items designed to supply operational power to devices with an Ethernet port and power requirements that do not exceed 5 Volts/1 Amp. The DWL-P100 Adapters provide an ideal solution to mount a device such as an Access Point virtually anywhere in a building (ceilings, attics, or roofs) without the need to locate the wireless Access Point near an electrical outlet. The DWL-P100 consists of the Base Unit and the Terminal Unit connected by an Ethernet cable to extend the reach up to 328 feet. (Please refer to illustration below) The DWL-P100 supplies the AP with power via the single Ethernet Cat 5 cable. The DWL-P100 is primarily targeted at users looking for a convenient solution to extend the coverage of their wireless local network...Its not a TRUE wirless solution
Rating: Summary: The Perfect Tool for Optimum Placement of your Access Point Review: I have one of these and it allows me to put my access point in my attic. This location for the access point provides great wireless coverage of my house. This enables my access point to be in my attic where there is no power sockets available but I can run an Ethernet cable up there and using this it supplies the AP with power. This is very easy to use, just plug everything in the correct way. And yes there is documentation to help you connect everything correctly.
Rating: Summary: These Do Exactly What They Claim Review: I now have my wireless AP located in a better spot, nigh reachable from a power socket. These PoE adapters let me do it. The wireless AP I use is a D-Link DWL-900AP+ which requires 5V and 2.5Amp of power. These PoE adapters don't look like the picture Amazon has up now because they are a new revision that can handle more power for the new APs out there. This is a great option for extending the wireless range of your Wi-Fi network.
