Question about Ubiquiti Lite 8 PoE
Hello everyone, I recently bought the USW-LITE-8-POE switch. Here is my plan: I go from our FritzBox with a network cable (cat 7) into the switch. From the switch I go via two POE ports to two access points (U6+) which are then supplied with power and Internet via network cable or? And is it sufficient if 1 network cable goes from the WLAN router into the switch or do I also need a connection to the router for each device that is connected to the switch. So with 2 access points = 1 connection to the router or 2 connections?
A cable between the FritzBox and the switch, regardless of how many access points are then connected to the switch. However, this switch also has limited PoE power supply options, but this is not a problem with two access points.
I didn't quite understand your question, but it's a shame to use a FritzBox as a WLAN router with two U6s plugged into the switch. Take this router Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine
It will allow you to manage the switch and your two U6 antennas. Otherwise, you'll have to configure your WiFi on the U6s via the software controller. That's a shame. But if you keep the FritzBox, it's just a matter of connecting a LAN cable from the FritzBox to the switch and then the two U6s to the switch. It will work.
