Synology RT6600AX wired networking to (2) WRX5600's - Enquiries - 02-19-2023
Hello,
I've purchased (1) Synology RT6600AX and (2) WRX560's. I'm wanting to utilize the Cat6 cable in each room of my home to connect these routers via a wired cat6 network. I know I must go from the LAN of the primary router (RT6600AX) to the WAN ports of the WRX560's. My question is..... Can I utilize a switch in my utility room where all my cat6 ethernet cables come back to? (OR) Does each WAN port on the WRX560 units need to go to a separate dedicated LAN port on the back of the RT6600AX?
Respectfully Requested,
Keith Sawyer

You could do this, but here is why people prefer direct connection from mesh to mesh point https://www.synoforum.com/threads/srm-mesh-with-wire-backhaul-through-a-switch-why-is-it-good.6595/
I hope this helps
