What type of phone do you have?
With Apple you either download a scanner app, or use the Wallet App on your phone.
With Android, you should just be able to do it from your camera.

done it.had to download a QR reader app from google play. then it scans with the camera and saves. as for the wi-fi extender, it works a treat. has boosted wi-fi to upstairs from 0 - 1 to 4.

I see they do some sockets with the extender and a USB port.

Wonder what the power consumption will be?

i'll check it with a clamp meter when i can be arsed to re-open the socket. won't be more than a fraction of 1amp.

In answer to your question @telectrix , no I haven't. I was looking at them for the couple I'm doing some work for at the mo as they have WiFi issues... stone house, quite long from front to back.

So... I'd like to know how you get on with it

seems to be quite good. wi-fi signal at front of house is much better than before. from weak to good.

I have 3 of these in my house but you will need the adapter or a POE switch. POE Switch will need to be switchable between 24v and 48V as the UBQ stuff runs on 24V

You don't need a POE switch as you can use a POE injector. Shame as I had a few and gave them away a while back.

Your Virgin Router won't be able to power the unit so cable to POE injector then cable from POE injector to the WAP, did it come with a POE convertor at all as they used to but then stopped to save on £££'s

If you need any help PM me and I will give you my number/email addy.
