WiFi Max and PoE

Hello

The office phone I would like to buy is powered by PoE, is the WiFi Max router enabled to provide Power Over Ethernet?

@Frenchfries  I don't beleive any domestic hubs are PoE, it would be much better to buy your own PoE switch.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

No it is not: as @GD1 indicates that would be very unusual in an ISP router.  Adding a PoE switch is the simplest solution if you don't want to use a separate PSU for a handset..

 

Note that a phone connected over ethernet cannot use Sky Talk Internet Calls.
