EX7000 Wired to router
Hello, is it possible to connect the extender to the router by ethernet to extend the signal, rather than wifi?

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.
