| + | ==== Standard Passive POE Voltage Hack ==== | ||
| + | The TP-Link TL-WA701ND and other TP-Link AP devices do not support standard passive POE voltage (48V) but instead they supports an unusual 9V or 12V DC input. If you plug the AP in a standard passive POE injector at 48V this results in damaging the capacitors and ultimately shorting out the board. If this happens and you have a decent brick power supply, it limits the output current and you save the board, otherwise the board could be damaged irreversibly. | ||
| + | You can easily circumvent this limitation by replacing the electrolytic capacitors on the board with the appropriate ones rated at least 63V. Replacing them is pretty straightforward, | ||
