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? ...

    Must be connected by Ethernet cable.

    Cannot be converted to a satellite.

    Sorry.

     

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