You could do that option but if you only need more ports and additional wireless, you could get an mesh extender and an 8 port gigabit switch for significantly cheaper than the RAX200. And most of the mesh extenders can be set in AP mode if they're hardwired in.
If you decide to go the router of 2x routers, make sure to put one of them in AP mode. It needs to go modem-----router (in router mode)------router (in AP mode) or you'll end up with issues.
but you could also go this route: modem-----router--------switch-extender
probably more than half the price.
Even if you wanted to upgrade to AX wireless, an wireless AX extender is still a lot cheaper than the RAX200
