Looking to purchase a WG3526 router but seller says it's not poe.
Can it be converted to poe?

Thanks!
I'm looking into purchasing a poe switch for cameras. If I have a poe switch do I need a poe injector?
Also, router has the latest Openwrt Goldenorb firmware installed. Is this the firmware that I need? I keep seeing ROOTER on this site and not sure if they are the same or different.

Hello again,
Sorry got confused! Last post.
If you have a POE switch supplying power will not need a injector too. The power switch would replace the function of the injector. Shown in this diagram.

Actually I have a switch at my house doing this exact thing.

That would depend on the output of the switch.. PoE switches for supplying low-power to things like cameras will probably not run a router + modem. It will need a good 30W output on the port going to the router, and many will do less than that on all ports combined.

I'm looking at the Netgear GS728TPP switch. Probably no more than 12 cameras and 3 Access Points. You think this would work?

That should do quite nicely... Though the TP (not TPP) model should also suffice for a lower price. It has 30W on half the ports and 15.4 on the other half... Unless your cameras need over 15w each, I'd probably go that route.
