| Power |
-
Power over Ethernet: 42.5 – 57 V (802.3at) or 37 – 57 V (802.3af) – low power mode **
-
Alternative: 12 V DC input
-
Power consumption: 30W max (802.3at) or 15W max (802.3af) – low power mode **
-
Power over Ethernet injector and DC adapter sold separately
Note: Actual power consumption may vary depending on the AP usage.
In low power mode, MR44 will do the following:
- Downshift its Ethernet uplink speed from 2.5 Gbps to 1 Gbps
- Transition from 4×4:4 to 2×2:2 in 5GHz
- Disable its dedicated IoT (previously known as BLE) radio
- Disable its dedicated Scanning Radio
- Reduce the max Tx power
Warning: Please ensure that MR44 is connected to an 802.3at-capable (PoE+) switch/power injector during the initial installation OR ensure that the network the MR44 is added to is set to MR 27.6 or newer firmware.
This is because the default MR44 firmware image has support for the low-power mode, however, MR 27.5/27.5.1 or lower firmware does not have low power mode support. Using 802.3af switch/power injector with MR44 set to 27.5/27.5.1 or lower firmware might result in unexpected behaviors including but not limited to reboots or degraded performance.
Due to the reasons stated above, please do not downgrade the network with MR44 APs to 27.5/27.5.1 or lower firmware if they are being powered on by 802.3af (PoE) switch/power injector.
