Can I plug in my cat 5 from my R6850 to the Signal Range Extender?

I ordered a 2021 release - 1.2 Gigabit Dual Band Signal Range Booster, up to 3000sq.ft - 5 GHz/2.4 GHz, Network Repeater, 30+ Devices, Indoors/Outdoors, Easy One-Click Set Up, Ethernet Portand would like to know if I run a cat 5 cable from my R6850 AC2000 router, will that work to get the full signal to the Ethernet port of the Signal Range Booster?

Thanks,

Paul

I bought a new router R6850 AC2000 and installed it correctly. All works great now. The WIFI extender works great as well. I found out that the network port is for conneting to a computer if the computer doesn't have a wireless adapter. Thanks for your help.

What actual model did you buy?

Some models offer an access point mode others only offer range extending.

You'll have to check with whoever makes that extender. It isn't netgear.
