Lan Division of the game console through Wi-Fi Repiter

Good afternoon.

Question: Is there an option to connect to the home network by the following route: from the Wi-Fi router (5 GHz transmission) to the repeater (TP-LINK RE200), and from the repeater via LAN cable to the game console? And, if yes, is it necessary to assign the status “Access Point” to the repeater? And are there any other subtleties?

The question is caused by the impossibility to run the cable through the wall.

Thank you.

What kind of game console? It most likely has the ability to connect directly to the router via wi-fi. Then why a wi-fi repeater? If you want to connect your game console to the Internet through a repeater via cable for a more stable and faster connection, it’s a bad solution. After all, the repeater connects to the router via wi-fi. Connection via LAN-directly to the router is a good solution.

You can, of course, connect it according to the scheme you described. In this case TP-Link AC750 RE200 doesn’t need to be switched to the access point mode. In this mode it just receives the Internet via LAN. You need to configure the repeater in normal mode, so that it connects to the router via Wi-Fi and transmits Internet to the game console via LAN.

I have a PS4 connected to the router via Wi-Fi and have no problems at all.
