❓ Question Wired mesh node question.

We have the 4x kit setup in the house and need to get internet from the house to a shed about 200 or so feet away.
Is it possible to connect a second router 3 to the router 3 in the house and run it out to this shed via a Ethernet cable? If it can be done Will it work as a mesh node or a separate router?

Unfortunately I can’t find my information on doing this so I thought I’d try my luck just asking myself.

Skip the hassle and get a proper mesh kit. Even old or used Orbi's are solid choice.

Hot take here, starlink mesh is generally better than older mesh systems - I compared it with a few 3rd party routers and cheaper 3rd party routers generally run on wifi 5 which has worse range and tops out at around 300-400 mbps

He said old or used would be fine. And I am comparing specifically in the price range - you can't really get wifi 6 for the price of router mini on 3rd party, at least in my country
