Can I use my rax45 with mesh ax300
Hello,
can i use my rax45 as a router and connect the AX300 mesh wifi router to feed the rax45 and still use the AX300 as a mesh network? The AX3000 only has 1 ethernet port and wanted to connect it to my rax45 but perhaps turn of the wifi so I can only use it as a port switch?

To clarify, I am trying to use my rax45 as a port switch for my ethernet cables but still, use the AX3000 as a mesh network.

What AX300 mesh wifi router is that? AX3000 just tells us about the wifi technology.
If you want to add another router to an existing network, the recommended strategy is to use the second router in AP (Access Point) mode.
The second router can then have its own wifi network, although I doubt if you can get the two devices to create a single Mesh network.
