.POE from Cerbo

POE from Cerbo, has any one used a wifi to ethernet adaptor to solve the poor cerbo wifi reception when in a cabinet whilst maintaining the Ip rating of the cabinet, thinking of trying this product https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/outdoor-radio/cpe210/ in client mode with or without a poe injector for about a third of the cost of the other wifi based solutions and you don't need to source external antennas etc that are compatible with the dongles

So you mean you installed the repeater inside an electrical enclosure and were able to boost the signal so the cerbo could connect, or did you install it outside of the cabinet compromising its IP rating?

the equipment / antenna really needs to be outside of the cabinet to improve its chances of connecting in weak wifi signal situations.
