Connect EAX15 to Ethernet Switch

After I setup an AX1800 wifi extender (EAX15) as a entender, can I connect an ethernet switch to it to connect additional devices using ethernet instead ot wifi?

 

If this won't work with this extender is there one that will work?

 

I have ethernet in a garage apartment and want to extend the wifi from the house to the apartment. Once the apartment is wired with ethernet I want to use the extender only as a wifi router for wireless devices and PC and TVs using ethernet.

 

Thanks

    You should be able to connect a switch to it without issues. I've done it with other extenders. I don't have an EAX15 to actually test it with though
