It is a PoE device which means it is accessed and configured via Ethernet cable, and also receives power over the Ethernet cable, so there is no need to run long electrical extensions. We have a selection of different length Ethernet cable available here. This device is suitable for outdoor use in campgrounds and marinas.
Some technical knowledge of access points is required to configure this device.
The Tube 2HQ does not include an integrated antenna. It has an N-male antenna connector that can be used with any N-connector 2.4 GHz antenna. We carry compatible antennas and extension cables.
It ships with a Passive PoE (24 V DC) input power supply with cord, and mounting ties. No Ethernet cables are included.
