Can I ethernet backhaul from an access point to Nighthawk RAX-80
CURRENT SET UP RAX-80 as my router in my basement. T-25 Gigabit Router (JGS516) 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch Arlo Hub Hue Hub cAt 5 ethernet from switch to other side of house ...
I had a feeling what I wanted to do was not possible. I really want an ethernet backhaul for better performance. I have. read a lot that the EAX80 and EAX 20 are wirelss backhaul only and the speed drops significantly with them.
Do I ahve any options other than going ORBI instead?
I really though there could be at least one option for ethernet backhaul.
Not that I know of currently for consumer gear when just adding 1 and wanting it hardwired.
Thanks for all the feeedback.
I do see my RAX80 has a AP mode to it.
So maybe I get a Netgear Nighthawk and do an AP mode to a new one.
maybe a cheaper one on facebook marketpace. Some one getting rid of one.
This is a good way to learn this stuff.
