❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a PoE switch?
No. PoE is optional. You can power the Dongle Max via USB-C (5V/1A) and connect via WiFi or USB. PoE is just an option for clean, single-cable installations β€” you need a PoE switch or injector for that.
What’s the difference vs. Dongle Plus MG24?
Both use the EFR32MG24 chip. The Dongle Max adds: Ethernet + PoE, WiFi, web console, dual 5dBi antennas, MQTT, VPN, aluminium body, wall mount. The Dongle Plus MG24 is a simpler USB-only stick. Choose Max if you want flexibility and range; choose Plus MG24 if USB is sufficient.
How do I access the web console?
Connect via Ethernet, then open dongle-m.local in your browser (or use the device’s IP address). Set a password on first login. From there, manage firmware, view status, configure MQTT, and switch modes.
Can I use it as a standard USB dongle?
Yes! Connect via the included USB-C cable to your HA server. Works just like a traditional USB Zigbee dongle β€” but you can also use Ethernet or WiFi if you need remote placement.
What range can I expect?
In real-world testing, the Dongle Max achieved 90m+ line of sight with good antenna placement (e.g. mounted high near a window). Indoor range depends on walls and interference. The dual 5dBi antennas significantly outperform single-antenna dongles.
Does it support Thread / Matter?
Yes! Flash Thread RCP firmware via the web console to use it as a Thread Border Router in Home Assistant. This enables Matter over Thread support for devices like Apple Home accessories. MultiPAN mode (beta) allows running Zigbee + Thread simultaneously.
