You can power the extender with an IEEE802.3af/at standard PoE switch. Connect the extender to one of the PoE ports on the PoE switch.

## 12-24 Volt Power <a href="#id-12-24-volt-power" id="id-12-24-volt-power"></a>

The DC socket on the WiFi extender can take DC power from 9 volts to 48 volts.

If your PoE power source is 12\~24 volts, use a PoE splitter to separate the LAN and DC jack, then connect the DC jack to the DC socket on the EZR13 motherboard.
