Dear Community

I would like to set up a new WLAN after my old AP died (thank you, Digitec for the uncomplicated return). Since my flat cannot be covered with one AP, I wanted to buy a MESH system. But since I have LAN cabling everywhere, it would make sense to wire the APs via LAN. However, it is not clear to me whether I can connect the APs directly to the LAN (where the modem is already connected) or whether the router and satellite can only be connected via a dedicated cable.

Further, if you don't do that, would it be possible to attach wired devices to the ports (specific to MK62)?

Thank you very much.

Answer

Router and satellite are only connected via radio. There is an Ethernet interface on the satellite for an external device. Router and satellite cannot be connected with a data cable. 
The MK62 also has an Ethernet interface on the router for an external device and an Ethernet interface for the connection to the Internet modem.
