Explanation

Power over Ethernet (PoE, IEEE 802.3af/at) delivers electrical power through standard Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for a separate electrical outlet at each access point. This is especially valuable at remote or ceiling-mounted locations where running AC power would be costly or impractical. BSSID is the MAC address of the AP's radio interface-a configuration detail, not an installation concern. MAC filtering is a security feature. NAT translates IP addresses between network segments and is not relevant to physically powering or placing an AP. PoE is the primary infrastructure consideration when deploying APs in locations without convenient power access.
