Q: 1. Does this include a PoE injector?

A: No, a PoE injector is not included with this access point.

Q: 2. Can this device be used as a stand alone mesh? Meaning, can you use 2-3 of these with your existing router to create a mesh network or do you have to use a compatible cisco router with these?

A: The Cisco Business 150AX Wireless Access Point is not designed as a standalone router, it must be used with an existing router which supports mesh networking. If your router does not support mesh then it will not be compatible.

Q: 3. It says "Down-tilt Antennas", how does that work then it can be wall, desk or ceiling mounted? Do you set the mounting position via SW? Also, I want to mount it on the basement wall or ceiling, does it do up-tilt?

A: So for this item it would radiate wireless signal in a sphere. So direction of the antennas would not impede speed or distance. Nor would the devices orientation, however placement in structure such as a basement would be limiting its effective range.

Q: 4. Can this be used to provide a low bandwidth ethernet connection when used in a mesh network?

A: No, the Aruba Instant On AP17 Outdoor Access Point cannot be used to provide an Ethernet connection to other devices when used in a mesh network.

Q: 5. This product doesn't specify whether its purpose is an access point for WiFi use or as a network backhaul, so which is it?

A: The Ubiquiti Networks LiteAP ac Access Point BH #UBLAP120US can work both as an AP, PTP (point to point) or a bridge.

Q: 6. Does it have 3 additional rj45 ports on the bottom?

A: The Aruba Instant On AP11D Desk/Wall Access Point only has (1) RJ45 port.

Q: 7. Hi can i use Ubiquiti Networks LiteAP as wifi?

A: The Ubiquiti Networks LiteAP ac Access Point (BH #UBLAP120US) can not be used for WI-FI. You will need to look into access points or routers for WI-FI.

Q: 8. can this be mounted to a 4x4 junction box?

A: The Shure MXWAPT2 2-Channel Access Point Transceiver with ANIUSB-MATRIX USB Audio Network Interface BH #SHWAPT2Z10US includes a mounting plate. It may be possible to mount it to a 4 x 4 electrical junction box. We do not recommend any modifications of this product however.

Q: 9. Do I need a hardware controller if I want to use 3 of these U6 Pro antennas?

A: For the Ubiquiti Networks WiFi 6 Pro Dual-Band Access Point, you wouldn't need a "hardware controller" per se, but you'd at need some sort of switch and/or injectors to power these APs via PoE+.

Q: 10. Can this model be used in a mesh network configuration?

A: Yes, the Cisco Business 150AX Wireless Access Point is designed for use with Mesh networks.
