can a RAX 45 be connected to a R6900

I have an old R6900 and am wondering if I can connect it to my new RAX45 to expand our network?

       R6900[v1] or R6900v2?  Look for "Model" on the product label.
    Firmware version?

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.
    Look for a topic like "Use the Router as a WiFi Access Point".

         Posting a link like that risks its breakage when the document gets
      revised or moved.

       

         Posting instructions for finding the current edition of the relevant
      document avoids that problem, as well as revealing other, related
      documents.  The instructions also work for more than one model number.
