TRENDnet 60W PoE++ Injector TPE-117GI (IEEE 802.3af/at) vs [OEM] Starlink Ethernet Adapter Gen 2 - 1 Gbps, Third-Party Router Integration
Overall winner: TRENDnet 60W PoE++ Injector TPE-117GI (IEEE 802.3af/at)
Key Differences
TRENDnet TPE-117GI is a PoE++ injector that provides gigabit data in and PoE out and explicitly supports 802.3af/at (but lacks 802.3bt per customer feedback), making it suitable for powering network devices. WAYXYZ Starlink Ethernet Adapter Gen 2 is an OEM adapter focused on stable wired connectivity to Starlink with real-world speeds around 300–500 Mbps and fewer reviews and warranty details, so pick TRENDnet for PoE and broader compatibility and pick WAYXYZ if you only need a simple Starlink Ethernet adapter
