When you ethernet connect up the EAX in AP mode, the EAX effectively is using this same ethernet cable from the host router as a BH. So anything connecting wirelessly or wired to the other ports will go thru this one ethernet cable from the host router to the EAX. This is NOT MESH though.
Could try something EAX80 in AP mode connected to that ethernet line, however been wondering when NG will be officially making a 2nd RS700 MESH supporting. Not sure if or when that will happen.
Yep, Only get 5Ghz AC and AX modes but should connect up in AP mode and provide good wifi and wired connections in the remote area.
So I note it has 4 ethernet ports - but can I use one of them as ethernet backhaul to the original router? I have an Ethernet cable to achieve this but I am not sure if it is compatible
