Wifi repeater on an ap mode
Can i connect a repeater to a linksys switch with an ethernet cable and get a wifi connection from it

some repeaters have access point mode. You'd have to look up your specific devices model and manual to find out if it has access point mode.

I sent a screen shot of a power line adapter that i want to buy online in the product description it's written ap mode and repeater mode, but when i asked the provider he told me that it doesn't work
- plemansAug 07, 2020Guru - Experienced Userso you've got a totolink repeater/extender and a linksys switch. Where does netgear fall in this?
- MichelhaddadAug 07, 2020AspirantI just wanted to know if it works or not (a repeater connect to a desktop switch) will it give me a wifi connection

You're literally on a netgear forum asking if a totolink device works with a linksys device?
Maybe you'd be better to ask on the totolink forum what their devices work with?
theoretically it should work if the totolink has AP mode and the device works as it *should*.But again, I don't have that device or that switch
