Sorry I wasn't clear. The 5V goes to the router. At least I assume it's 5V. In one period when it appeared to be working, I unplugged the router and put my DVM on the connector and got 5.25V. For all I know, it's supposed to be 12V too.
I don't know what goes to the PoE for the antenna - I don't have the manual for my Bullet. The manual for the current model of Bullet says up to 24V so I suspect mine is powered by 12V PoE.
I wish I could find the durn manual. I never throw out stuff like that.
Joe,
You have what is called a WFRPod. It was a combined 5vdc/12vdc unit to power the outdoor Ubiquiti product, and the indoor WiFiRanger Home. DO NOT POWER your WFRhome with anything other than 5vdc. An option would be to power the Hoem with the original wall wart gthat came with it, and then use a POE for the outdoor product. Cabling between the WAN port and the POE LAN port. This is a bit more complex, but doable.
