Can i add the AC1200 (ex6100) to my existing netgear ac1200 (ex6200) with an ethernet cable?

I have the EX6200 in one building which is extending my Verizon MIFI signal but the signal is weak in my second building (about 100ft away).   There is an ethernet cable between them.  Can I attach the ex6100 to the ex6200 and create a AP in my second building?

I think so.    With my 6150 set as an extender the ethernet port on it gives out an ip address to locally connected PC.   

 

So set the 6100 as an access point and plug it into the 6200's port..    You may want to see if you can beef up the signal to the first extender since the 2 devices will be sharing that signal.
