we use TPLink and or Cisco without issue on 100's of wAP / ac's On 13 July 2017 at 19:23, Jason Hecker (Up & Running Tech) < jason@upandrunningtech.com.au> wrote:

Now I am back onsite I have tried a suggestion from the Netgear forums for a HP 1910-24G POE switch. I have enabled global LLDP and CDP on the 1910 and now POE+ (-at) is working on the GS105PE and passing power through to the WAPAC. Let's see if it's stable over the next few weeks. Some notes, I put firmware v1.5.0.4 on the Netgear and you need to have a TFTP server to put the new firmware on - it doesn't upgrade via the web interface like the docs say - thanks Netgear. The reason I have gone through all this is that I needed to add in a switch at a single point a WAPAC is plugged into, then run a cable through to some new AppleTVs that are nowhere near an ethernet outlet and there is no local mains outlet at the WAPAC. I have found with the AppleTV's and smooth Airplay you need to cable them in, Wifi doesn't cut it (not with the WAPACs anyway).
