EX7000 ... probably a simple question here

[fosgate3]

This will probably be a very easy question for someone to answer. I bought an EX7000 AC1900 originally to use as a range extender but ended up not needing it for my original plan. Can it be used as a WiFi router? I would love to be able to replace my antiquated WDNR3400.

Not as a router but you can hardwire it into the wndr3400 and run the ex7000 in access point mode. 

Then you could either use the wndr3400 as a backup wireless, as a way or reducing the load on the network, or even just disable its wireless.

And I would do that just by connecting an ethernet cable from the 3400 to the 7000 and then using the "extended signal" produced by the 7000 to connect to, right?

There's an install article on it.
