Looking for AP with POE and Automatic Restart Capability

#1 (**permalink**) 08-30-2006, 11:45 AM

Hi,

I'm looking for a wireless Access Point with the following features:

1. Power over Ethernet.
2. Capability to have a scheduled, periodic (e.g. daily) restart.

Can anyone recommend one or more products with these features?

Thanks in advance.

Just put the PoE power supply on an inexpensive digital timer.

Anything can run POE with the right adapter cable.

A router running linux can schedule it's reboots using cron. The linksys
WRT54GS comes to mind, if you load a free 3rd party firmware on it. Other
routers that likewise support linux-based firmware can use cron to schedule
all sorts of tasks.
