Hi there,

i have been searching through the forum for an answer to this but cannot find one.

is there a way to configure Port1 to recieve POE and act as a LAN port?

i have 2 hap ac lite routers
hap1 is my ISP router for fibre (using ether ports, wireless, queues for bandwidth control on ports)
hap2 i bought to use as switch, queues on ports for bandwidth control (i have 6 network cables to connect, including Fibre ONT, so using both routers)

i connected hap1 port 5 poe out TO hap2 port 1 poe in - ran quick setup and Home AP dual.
my pc is plugged into ether 2 and i cannot get internet, only if i plug in another cable from hap1 ether 3 to hap2 ether 3 for example
can i successfully ping gateway and internet but then i dont have enough ports to plug all my cables.

thanks in advance

I haven't tested this, but if you are looking at just using it as a switch with DHCP etc. coming from your main router, then without any wireless config, it should be pretty simple.

I've taken a working config and ripped out everything but the base needed config. So, assuming you give it a management address of 192.168.0.10 and your gateway is on 192.168.0.1, then it should look something like this, starting with no config at all.
If you wanted to use wireless on the second hAP, it's just a question of setting up the adapers and adding them to the bridge.

Thanks diddie,

Will try out the code and see if it works,
I dont see why it wouldnt as i had a mikrotik cpe dish with 1 port which recieved data and poe

thank you that worked! my second hap is basically acting as a slave/switch and is powered and connected via port 1
