I’m looking to get the 2nd gen mesh Wi-Fi setup but I have a workshop 70 meters away from the house and want Wi-Fi in there too. It’s too far from the house to join wirelessly so I was hoping to run a cable and hard wire an additional point. I understand the additional points do not have Ethernet ports on them so I’m hoping there is another way??
Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. From what I gather i can use an additional router as a hardwired AP after the initial set up? That should work.

Yes, that should work. 🙂 Here is a diagram of how you'd wire it up:

Hi. Not tried it yet as it will be when I move house. Just seeing if it was possible. I plan on having a router in the house plus 2 points and then run a 70m cable to the workshop into another router which will be used as a point. From there into a switch for multiple connections.

Hi. As I said previously I have not tried it yet as it will be when I move house. Just seeing if it was possible. It may take 6 months for me to move. No need to keep this open.
