My question is, can i add in an external AP with a PoE injector to one of the LAN ports on my RAX120? Unfortunately hard cabling out to my workshop isnt an option. And I am unable to move the RAX120 location, due to the proximity of the NBN entry to my house.
It might be safer, and simpler, to investigate Powerline Ethernet and, if you need wifi, to put a wireless access point on the remote plug. You can even by Powerline plugs that have a built in AP.
I have an Orbi in AP mode at the remote end of a Powerline network. Works fine.
Thanks - not knowing a great deal about powerline, would it still be applicable if the sockets are on completely different electrical circuits? (I’m guessing the answer is no)
