Disable ethernet port on EAX12 or other
I am thinking of buying the EAX12-100CNS, but I'm open to other suggestions. I need a Wi-Fi 6 range extender that will be located in a public area so I need to be able to disable the eithernet port so no one can plug in and access my network.

Not that I know of. Could always remove a couple pins or snip off an ethernet cable and dab some glue to keep it from being removed.

Is this to provide public wifi, or is it just somewhere that wicked people can visit?
Have you looked at the range of business wifi offerings?
I'd go with the idea from @plemans to get hold of an empty LAN plug and glue one into the output hole.
