Connect router and switch to AP setup
You're planning to lay roughly 330 feet of Cat6 Ethernet underground, using a router, cable, and PoE switch to reach an access point. This setup is feasible if you ensure proper shielding, grounding, and cable management for reliable performance.
You're asking about connecting a router directly to an underground cable. It's better to route it straight to the underground cable if possible. Using an underground-rated cable is essential to prevent damage and ensure longevity.
Sure, I get what you meant, but I want to avoid making assumptions about how networking works. It seems like you're considering a straightforward setup. If you already have an access point at the end, it might actually be easier to avoid PoE instead of complicating things further.
