Poe to Poe Then wired connect to Wifi Extender and Ip Cam

[patrocle]

I am trying to see if this is possible. Trying to add a POE hub in the garage and then there to plugin a asus wifi extender and also plug in a ip poe camera or more later
Cable is pulled from my office upstairs from the main POE hub there witch is a TP-Link poe switch.
Curious if the POE switch in the garage will see the cameras ip and the extender and added as mesh to my asus wifi router.
Working with
Asus Wifi Router RT-AX86U (Upstairs) and another the same one i have downstairs (wired as mesh)
Garage will be Asus RP-AX58 AX3000
Poe switches working with TP-Link TL-SG1008PE (have 2 of those ) and a YuanLey YS082G-P



Planning to get a Firewalla Gold SE soon and they coming out with AP7 access point in January witch should be good reach.

Thanks for any advice and if will work.

FWIW, those TP-LINK POE "hubs" are more appropriately termed POE "switches", are unmanaged and should pass the data from any one of the router's LAN ports on through to the next switch, AP, IP camera, etc.


The TP-LINK closest to the Asus router in the office could be a straight cable or a non-POE switch based on your current schematic.

What you have drawn are not not hubs. Those are switches. All networked equipment sees IPV4 addresses (unless it is token ring).

I would be very careful to ensure every single one of your CAT cables are wired exactly the same, throughout the whole system. Ensure they are wired to T568B standards, and not one of them wired as a T568A standard. You don't want to switch polarity of the DC voltage coming from a POE+ switch. It won't work. Cat wiring is good for 328' (or 100 meters) in length before you start raising the chance you may have a data collision on your network.

Yes, you can run switches in series. The first switch won't supply POE power to the next switch. Only the last switch, that the camera is plugged into, will supply POE+ power. Are your switches in your proposed system un-managed or are they semi-managed? The TP-Link TL-SG1008PE is a semi-managed switch.

Are you attempting to run your cameras through wifi? If so, why?

Yes switches my bad. Yes all 3 are unmanaged. Thanks for the advice.

Yes switches i have edit my post and also pointed the products in links. They are unmanaged and all have direct poe cameras connected
Thanks for the advice on the wiring how to.
No camera through wifi, just adding some better wifi in the garage for few things there my garage opener wifi myq took a crap and also added new video myq keypad and signal not that good.
But wanted kind to see if i hard wire it and have a switch there to add more ip cams but with hardwire poe.

568A does not switch polarity. 568B does not switch polarity. The only difference is swapping of the green and orange pairs. There is no electrical difference unless you get down to the AC effects of twist rate of the wires. They can be freely mixed and matched. Just need for each cable to be the same on both ends.

I only used on my cables T568B to do it with ends,etc.
Good to know

How big is your house? Are you using 5ghz WIFI only? Wondering why you have 2 AP's?

I have ONE Cisco 3702i access point. I use 2.4ghz with the TX power turned half way down. Still can reach the mailbox 150+ feet away at the end of the driveway. Our house is 2550sf, single level with an open horse shoe build. It's a good hike to the mailbox. We sit on 1/3 of an acre. Got more than enough WIFI signal all over the lot.

1800 sqf and have upstairs and downstairs and garage. Have Asus router main upstairs and the same one hardwired downstairs and is setup as AiMesh.
Al this started when i tried to install a myq video keypad for my garage and keep saying that my wifi signal is not that good and it was less that half. So i decided to get the asus extender to see if it helps.
Now i have a T568B cable sitting there in the garage from my camera system witch i was planning to add some flood lights with a camera in front of the house but then i was thinking if i can put a poe switch in the garage and connect directly the asus extender and also the poe flood camera witch i was going to get but looks like based on the above posts may have to re-organise the switches for it to work. Most of my stuff is 2.4 and few 5ghz.
