AP on Router

Hi guys.

I've got 2 old Orbi routers and some new satallites that I'm rearranging.

Can anyone tell me if I change one of the routers to an AP, can I connect it wirelessly, or must it be by cable?

Or is there a way I can just change the router to a satallite?

    Sorry.

     

    Some manufacturers designed their products to be "either/or", but Netgear did not.
