Wired Router with Switch and POE

Hi all,

Is there such a wired networking device which can perform Router/Switch/POE capability all in one?
I've been looking, maybe I'm not using the correct words so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

    • While waiting for this sweet device, there are many Ubiquiti devices already available that'd fit the bill.

        The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 12-P is out of stock. Is there another suitable Ubiquiti AIO model?

        • mwave and other retailers have stock - I see Amazon (au) is "Temporarily out of stock" but other retailers have some. There's also the second hand market, all depends on what's needed.

    Ubiquity EdgeRouter X if you dont need too many ports.

    • Ubiquity EdgeRouter X Router works perfectly. Relatively easy to set-up through referencing youtube including connecting it to the NBN modem. I have POE to USB adapters to control some wireless Eufy Cameras This means I don't need a power adapter for the camera, nor do I need any additional power going to the router. Configured my old router as an Access Point and an a wireless extender to ensure strong connection across a two storey house! works perfectly! Now I have the NBN in the garage and there is no ugly NBN box in the house. Thanks to BargainBuddy

    If you arent using the correct words, or arent sure - dont use them.

    Just explain what you are trying to do / what your problem is?

      I wanted to see if I can get a wired only router/switch that's POE Capable. When I think of this capability I can only think of a wireless router that performs like a router/switch however it doesn't have the POE functionality's. The intent was to use as little devices as possible to connect various networking devices.

      • Still have no idea what you are trying to do you are mixing up terms I think.Just say what you want to do in english - from what I am reading you want to have only one device for your network and only want wired connections?

        If you want only one device that does wired network just use the router supplied by isp and turn off the wireless functionality, however this depends on how many ports you need. If you need more than a few ports you will need two devices, in all likelyhood (unless you are looking at commercial or used commercial equipment) but it doesnt sound like you do.

  • In the home price range no. If you look at business equipment then yes, but you will pay for it like the Ubiquiti equipment above.

    The way to get around it at home to save money is to get a router and a separate switch that supports POE.

    "Router" above is for use with NBN and NOT a true network layer 3 router (I may have the wrong layer # as it's been a long long time since I have had to configure a real network router).

  • so you're trying to save on a powerpoint, even if such a device exists, you've got to ask yourself if that's sufficient because you'll soon find out the number of poe port is not enough, having a router with enough ethernet port is hard, getting enough poe port on them will be even harder.

    • Essentially yes and considering (if there was such a device) there would only be one point for configuration.
