EX7000 Wired to router

Hello, is it possible to connect the extender to the router by ethernet to extend the signal, rather than wifi?

    I just found out that the EX7000 does not support Access point. I need to buy another extender

    Who told you that?

    there's a few low end models that don't support AP mode but I haven't found any of the higher ones that don't. 

    And we're talking really low end like the EX2700. 

     

    I've got a EX8000 and an EX7300 and both support AP mode. I don't specifically have an EX7000 but even the manual (page 18) says it supports access point mode.

Thank you. would you be able to tell me how to do this please?

I have been a call to their call centre in India for over an hour and am no further forward - just going round in circles, and I don't know any more than I did before I called them !!!
