Hi All,

I've ordered a KR2 and waiting for it to arrive tomorrow. However, I'll be using this router along with a Verizon Kycoera KPC680 in an outdoor environment (NEMA enclosure) and would like to run the KR2 off PoE along the ethernet.

I was wondering if anyone knows what the DC requirements are for the Kyocera KR2 so I can get the proper voltage for the PoE splitter once it enters the enclosure so I can power the KR2. I couldn't find the information on the User Guide or Brochure PDF's either that or... I'm just blind...

Thanks for any help!

Cheers

Got my Kyocera KR2 today!

Plugged in my Verizon Kyocera KPC680 and it's working like a charm over WiFi. What a huge difference over the KR1!

Found out the unit will take in 9V-12VDC, 18W. So that's anywhere from 9VDC @ 2A to 12VDC @ 1.5A.
Cheers,
Kermee

EDIT: WHOOPS! Looked at my old KR1... It's 5V @ 3A. You guys are right!

Actually, KR1 required 5v and regulated the 12v input down. KR2 requires 9v at 2A.

Would the KR1 cigarette lighter attachment work?

No, the KR1 Car Power Adapter does not fit in nor power KR2 correctly.

After using several routers in a mobile situation, I would highly recommend getting a high quality voltage regulator with surge protection built in.

I have one for my MBR-1000 (and some for my other devices). I think it cost a little less than $50 (including shipping). These guys can help you:

Whoops!

You guys are right! KR1 and KR2 power requirements are different. Sorry for the confusion!

Cheers,
Kermee
