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

[zillah]

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

The 4x ethernet LAN ports (not the single WAN port) of a residential grade wireless router are switched ports that are bridged to the wireless.

No I didn't, but if you want to continue your membership here on our forums, I heavily suggest that you rein your attitude in.

The attitude of one of your posts in this thread was uncalled for.
We also look at what you report your status is.
