  • Patent number: 8929951
    Abstract: An actuating device of a wireless access point (WAP), the WAP includes a first module, a second module with a power requirement, and an actuating device. The WAP has a first voltage range and a second voltage range. The actuating device includes a switching unit and a voltage regulating unit. The switching unit receives an input voltage and has two output terminals. The switching unit outputs a first voltage via the first output terminal when the input voltage is within the first voltage range, and outputs a second voltage via the second output terminal when the input voltage is within the second voltage range. The voltage regulating unit is coupled to the output terminals to convert the second voltage to the first voltage. The second module is coupled to the second output terminal of the switching unit.
