i live in a four story house and am looking to connect to the house with LAN connection. All the rooms have internet connections in the wall but the rooms upstairs are not connected to the point of entry on the first floor. I have bought routers to connect the different floors to each other and so on. But the second and third floor boxes with all the wires in them does not have a power outlet and the house i live in is brand new and is made of cement, and i have no desire to drill holes in the walls in the hallways or run ugly wires down the stairs or outside doors. So my question is; can i buy router that will connect 1 input to 3 output router that does not require an source of power. I have one that is just 1 to 1 now but i need a 1 to 3. If you could help me in this in anyway or just tell me no. It will all be useful. Thanks for your time in this before hand.

I’m sitting here at my desk looking at a D-Link DWL-2200 AP that is a PoE device. They come with their own injectors.
For the most part, when possible, we plug those into a PoE capable switch but there are a couple instances where it hasn’t been possible and I’ve used the injectors. I’ve also used an injector from the D-Link WAP to provide electricity to another PoE capable device (a VoIP phone) from a different manufacturer.
You can also buy rack mountable PoE injectors. It’s been a while since I looked at one but I believe they come various sizes (ie: 12, 24, 48 ijector ports)
I do not believe anybody makes PoE routers. Which is to say, routers that you can use PoE to provide electricity to them. At least, I’ve never seen one. But, you might be able to buy a PoE switch which would work in this case if combined wtih an injector at the other end of the line.
