How to exend my network over Ethernetcable (long distance 50m)
Hello, this might be a stupid question on how to, but everybody using repeaters where the wifi signal overlaps. In my case I have (an old R7000 Nighthawk). I want to buy a new one and use the R7000...
Repeater mode is only connected via wireless. AP mode, for R7000 or EAX, you have to use a ethernet connection to get them connected to work properly in AP Mode.

So basicly. Between ISP and R7000 I have to setup a bridged mode as a router (already in place) and I configure a cabled connection to my extra extender in AP mode.
Cabled network R800 Lan into my Wan port of the extender.

You could investigate Powerline Ethernet
The cable is there and I have Ethernet access at my end-point. So that's not the issue.
My concern is when I configure 2 identical wifi accespoints (same name and password), one on router A and one on router B, will my devices just take over the signal without interruption? Configured in Router Mode.You'll need to configure AP mode and need to use far apart separate channels between the two systems.
