I have an RT2600ac and am considering adding an MR2200AC, to get wireless coverage at the far end of the house.
The manual on the MR2200AC is not super comprehensive, unfortunately. Need to know whether the MR2200AC can be connected by (obviously very long) ethernet cable to the RT2600AC and, if so, whether the cable would be connected to the WAN or LAN port on the MR2200AC. If it's connected to the WAN port, can the LAN port be used as an ethernet passthrough?
So for example:
RT2600ac lives at one end of the house; there is an ethernet cable that runs to the other (far) end of the house. That ethernet cable currently connects to (say) a device that has ethernet but no wireless capability.
Can I connect MR2200AC's WAN port to the far end of that ethernet cable, and then connect the wireless-less device to the LAN port on the MR2200AC? (And have wireless coverage from the MR2200AC at the far end of the house?)
Tks!
