yeah i’d gladly pay $300 for just a PoE capable Omnia… didn’t know the modifications would be that simple…
i understand why consumer routers don’t have PoE: they’re usually the only network device (AP,router,switch) a household needs, attaching desktops, notebooks, printers & maybe a nas. i.e. devices that can’t be powered using poe anyways. but i hope that’s not how most people intend to use the omnia…
i for one will be using it with a unifi poe switch & 3 unifi ac ap’s. i guess it’s too late now to add to the omnia, so i’ll go the super ugly route of using a $30 GbE PoE .at to 12V splitter/transformer to power the omnia…
for this i will proably drill holes in the omnia case, so i can stuff the adapter inside the omnia… ugh
sadly as can be seen here (lack of replies) there is just zero demand for PoE…
