Another - not enough electricity power’ question

Richard_NZ — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 18:54:28 GMT

I have a R710 and a R650 connected to a TP-Link PoE switch SG1016PE.

The Unleashed gui tells me that ‘not enough electricity power’. It was all good before a power outage and now I get that plus the wireless speed in the house had dropped dramatically. I have read I have to switch from auto to 802.3at but I have no clue how and where to try that? Can anyone help with this please.

Hello Richard_NZ ,

You could try manually setting the PoE for the access points to the maximum power that the switch can provide to ensure compatibility.

Ok - I found a way to do that by following the above advice. Thank you. Now the orange warning triangles have gone. I still have issues and I'll post these in another topic.

In my experience, Unleashed has always misidentified the PoE when connected to a PoE+ source. Network equipment should not have an issue detecting that it is connected to sufficient PoE power, especially if negotiating PoE+. If it can't detect the available wattage from a PoE source, it should assume full power until it senses a power issue. When will a fix be released to address this problem with PoE+ APs?
