Hi everyone - we're looking to connect our gear for monitoring and file transfers. The devices are about 200 feet from our network switch, and running new cabling would be difficult. Do you have any ideas using the old Wi-Fi routers as a receiver? Or are there options that can act as a receiver with multiple Cat5 ports available?

WiFi and some routers can work with WDS Client mode if supported. I’ve only achieved this by applying OpenWRT on the older router to enable it.
