Guest Network extension

Hello
I currently have a AX12 - AX11000 Model RAX200.
I have a wireless 2.4ghz Guest Network enabled and working.
What I’d like to know/do is if I can extend that Guest Network outdoors by using a wired outdoor AP?
I’m assuming I’d need to add a switch that has a POE port for the external wired AP as my AX12 has no POE port?
Is it possible to have a wired external AP that’s dedicated as a Guest Network?

I appreciate any feedback, I might be in over my head.

Thanks
Bob

Not possible with guest network. APs don't know about guests and the main router doesn't know if he's receiving something as "guest" or not
