Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.0.11 Build 20190726 rel.57101(4555)

Hello,

 

I have Archer C7 as my main router. I want to extend WIFI to another floor. I have LAN cable to that floor.

 

Is it possible to connect to LAN extender or router (set as access point) and still use it in OneMash?

 

Best regards

Hello, the Archer C7 V5 does not support Onemesh feature in AP mode; 

 

And at least one router and one network expansion device are needed to create a Onemesh network, like Archer C7 V5 +RE300.

 

While if you want to connect them by wired cable, the Deco series products would be a good choice. 

 

They support router mode and AP mode both and support mesh networks. 

 

Good day.
