EX7000 Wired to router

[davidgsmith1]

Hello, is it possible to connect the extender to the router by ethernet to extend the signal, rather than wifi?

Who told you that?

there's a few low end models that don't support AP mode but I haven't found any of the higher ones that don't. 

And we're talking really low end like the EX2700. 

I've got a EX8000 and an EX7300 and both support AP mode. I don't specifically have an EX7000 but even the manual (page 18) says it supports access point mode.

Yes, just put the EX7000 in access point mode

Thank you. would you be able to tell me how to do this please?

I have been a call to their call centre in India for over an hour and am no further forward - just going round in circles, and I don't know any more than I did before I called them !!!

Thank you I notice this is for EX6120, is it the same for an EX7000?

[plemans]

should be pretty much the same. 

they all uses pretty similar install processes. The difference tends to be if it has a hardware switch for access point mode or extender mode

EX7700 and EX8000 support AP mode...

[davidgsmith1]

Thank you, but not the EX7000.

I believe the EX3700 does too
