Hi,
I really wanted to order two Flint 2s today but unfortunately, since they would be ceiling mounted, black is a no-go.
Are there any plans of making white models?
Any, since PoE is so extremly useful, maybe a model that can be powered via PoE rather than having to install power as well?
Fingers crossed 
Alex
Hi,
Thank you for your suggestion.
We will pass it on to the product team for further consideration.
You are better off switching to Ubiquiti. Their hardware and software is a lot more mature and all their products can be used at home.
Thank you for the recommendation, but the price point is quite different and the main reason for me to switch routers is the switch to Open Source firmware.
I am quite fed up with the manufacturer firmwares which then have limited support times and lack lots of features that the hardware can easily support.
Adding PoE increases costs of products quite a lot and not just a dollar or two. In the end you’ll end up paying, one way or another.
Hi everyone,
First off, I hope you all are having a great Thanksgiving!
Regarding the power setup, I have a logical suggestion that might solve this. I recommend searching for a "PoE to 12V splitter with a round plug output."
I did a quick search online and found generic versions for as low as $3.07. It’s a very cost-effective way to handle power delivery if your switch supports PoE but your device requires a DC barrel jack.
Just a heads-up per standard safety guidelines: make sure to double-check that the barrel plug size and voltage match your specific device before ordering.
Hope that helps you out!
PoE costs hardly anything. There are many cheap PoE APs and some very good and cheap OpenWRT routers with PoE.
Of course there are workarounds. But in a modern IT environment you do not want a bunch of converters.
Converters waste electricity and the are another risk of failure. The converter needs to be close to the devices, which often means a second device connected to the ceiling or wall.
PoE only needs one power source for multiple devices and only requires a simple ethernet cable to supply both the power and the data. Much more elegant and much less issue when failure. The PoE power supply is usually not mounted to the wall or ceiling but hidden somewhere.
