Using one router to connect to another router just for ethernet

BenjaminLucas

Level 1

I have some older computers/consoles. That do not have good wifi, or the wifi is not working

I have my home network which is wifi because I am unable to wire the house for ethernet for a few reasons. The Ethernet does not reach the location for the older equipment. I am wondering if it's possible to have a router that connects to the older equipment by ethernet and then only connects to the main router by wifi, without having its own network. If I do mesh it makes the network that all of the nearby devices default to as 2.4. Both routers support Wifi6, I would like for the second router to just connect wirelessly with the main router and not make it's own wifi broadcast.. I have tried searching but my issue is that I am also not sure what to search for.

 

Thank you for any help
