Alta Labs Route10 wired router; LAN/WAN and PoE on exact ports.
Check the exact device
Menu names and behavior can vary by US hardware revision and firmware. This guide was researched from official material, not tested on a physical router.
Applies to: Alta Labs Route10 wired router; LAN/WAN and PoE on exact ports.
Official evidence: Alta Labs Route10.
Before you begin
- Read physical port labels, planned 10G transceiver specifications and total powered-client wattage.
- Maintain a known wired admin path before changing any WAN/VLAN settings.
Physical layout
ISP ONT -> Route10 (assign WAN) -> LAN RJ45/SFP+ -> switch / APs
|-> PoE+ output ports 2 + 3 (40W shared)
What to check / do
- Route10 provides four 2.5GbE RJ45 interfaces and two 10Gbps SFP+ cages, not six RJ45 ports.
- Designate intended WAN/LAN interfaces through supported Alta controls, and confirm upstream ISP handoff.
- PoE+ is available only on ports 2 and 3 and shares a maximum 40W budget. A nominal 30W-per-port claim is not 60W combined.
- Connect each powered access point only after checking individual maximum consumption and the 40W shared limit.
- Interpret port LEDs separately: 1GbE versus 2.5GbE RJ45 indicators, plus SFP+ 10G indicators; check official LED reference.
Verify the result
- All powered clients remain stable and total output is within 40W.
- Negotiated Ethernet rate and WAN/LAN network behavior match actual port configuration.
If the result is not what you expected
- Stop changing settings if you cannot identify the model or a reliable administrator recovery path.
- Use the exact manufacturer support link below and quote your hardware label, firmware version, and what changed.
Restore / undo
Unplug the newest powered AP if budget is exceeded and restore original WAN/LAN port roles from a wired connection.
Evidence, limits and editorial disclosure
Technical claims are based on the linked manufacturer or ISP page as checked on 2026-11-01. This is an independent explanatory checklist, not a claim that RouterFix tested the device. Hardware revision, regional SKU and firmware menus may differ. Unverified functions must remain unknown.
