networking with hardware firewall plugged to wireless router as Access point
Question I have a hardware firewall plugged into a wireless access point.
It has the ability to run dual channels.. netgear R7000 -- I turned into access point and named both 2ghz and 5ghz the same SSID
Networking
Does this pose as a problem with speed or cause issues.
Also I read they have power over Ethernet. could I plug on port into the power over Ethernet device, and then on the other end plug into another R7000 Access point upstairs, or in basement that covers better, and if there is hardware theat can be plugged into the built in LAN ports, will it be faster than wireless.... and can I make these access points 2ghz and 5ghz networking as ssid too?

This plugs into the firewall.
The SSID is set to networking on both 2ghz and 5ghz
which I think you said I should make two separate SSIDS.
And if I plug another R7000 in as an access point to firewall, I should use new SSIDs as well, no networking right?
And I wasn't sure if you make the R7000 an access point, if that renders the built in LAN ports useless?
or disabled. I want sure.
