Hi Steve,

As promised, I’ve installed the MAX BR1 Mini on Atsa, and its working great! I had only one surprise - I put PoE power onto the #1 LAN cable, but it didn’t work. So I installed one of the PoE extractors onto the router end, chopped off the AC power cord (after testing the pins in the plug - it connects 12V to both +V and Ignition) and connected it - works a charm. The surprise was the wire colors inside the cable: black, red and white. You would think that it would be black -V, red and white +V - but no! White is -V, red & white are +V.
I do have a problem with my Groove, however, which i’m sure is just configuration. The Groove is on its default 192.168.88.1 setting, and was working fine connected to the (now removed) Netlink router’s WAN port. When I put it into the BR1’s WAN port, however, the router passes it through and my laptop gets sent an 192.168.88.x IP - so I can converse with the Groove, but nothing else works! Should I move the Groove over to the 192.168.50.xx address space? I’ve set it up so the groove only gets power when I want it, but it would be nice to have both working together.
