    Second router as an Access Point can it be used as switch ?

    Dear folk

    Second router is configured as Access Point to extended WiFi for mobile connection at home and it is connected wired to a first router via a wall socket

    Can the second router (now it is setup in Access Point mode) be a switch for 2 desktop to be connected to it via Ethernet cables ?

    I have only one RJ45 connection on a wall and yes I am aware that if the desktop has wireless network card that will help

    Thx

    if the 2nd router has LAN ports than yes, it is effectly a switch anyway - either pumping out a wireless signal that others can join or they can connect via a cable.
