WiFi (not MiFi) installation

Hi,
Did you manage to get it to run on 12 volts? The reason I ask is that I used the same components as you on my motorhome. After the initial set up you can separate the Loco M2 POE from the LR AirGateway Router and to the male fitting on the airgateway you fit this ESUMIC® Passive Power over Ethernet PoE Adapter: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics in the Amazon photo the top one. Then buy one of these, or you may already have one COCAR Car Cigarette Lighter Power Adapter to DC 2.1mm Plug 12V/24V Spring Extension Cable for Car Rear View CCTV Monitors Or Motor Device: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike and plug it in. I only did this job today and I'm glad to say it works perfectly. I can now log into the Loco M2 using my phone, tablet etc. and I don't need the POE which came with the Loco M2 anymore. Hope this helps you or someone else.
Best Regards

Hi Johnny. Are you saying it doesn't need 24v, but can run on 12v? I don't see how that's possible. The specs of both the router and nanostation say input voltage 24v.

Edit: To answer my question it seems a lot of ubiquiti stuff runs on 12v too 12V POE possible? | Ubiquiti Networks Community

Updated initial post to correct photo links.

Just a comment ref using the POE adapter on DC..... I didn't look into this back much when I first posted this thread, and as I will be having 24/7 AC available due to my Domestic Fridge installation, I won't have any need to move from AC to DC for the wi-fi setup, so cannot add anything on that particular part of the subject.

Thank you for posting the update on the old thread as i probably would not have found it otherwise.

This is exactly what i need to do but do not understand it at all yet. :confused:

I will go through the old posts and try to sketch out what goes where and how they fit together next
