I had same issue and chose to grab a netgear LAN switch as the online instructions to utilize an old router seemed like it may compromise the purity provided with this system (especially if I were to do it myself ;-) ). Looks like that's an option to do so but I’d recommend setting up a new switch to go with the new system that will probably be able to handle more in the future as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would recommend using a switch instead of a second router. it is slightly difficult to get a second router working but a non-managed switch is plug-n-play.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Based off my personal experience, you could connect a simple 8 port switch to gain the extra Ethernet ports you need.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.22Jun2020 I have not tried it yet on my system, but that is also why I purchased the MR6 and MS6 units, they each have an RJ45 Ethernet port. My plan is to put a Network Switch on that port for my wired devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it is. Currently mine connects via wireless bridge that has 5 1Gbps ports that then connect various devices. I think you are wanting or thinking about plugging in from router to a hub and then extending out this way...and both would work fine.
