Do I need any special device to use an AP over POE with a home router?

Question

I am setting up a small network for my office, I have a ZTE F660 router which is provided by my ISP and I am considering buying a couple of LINKSYS LAPAC1200 with POE access points. My question is, do I need my current router to support this feature? or I just plug it and it's working? Do I need another devices to power my AP with POE?

ZTE F660 doesn't serve PoE. You need an AC/DC to PoE converter/injector as TL-POE150S or a PoE switch between the router and APs.
