Ap 3715 secondary wired Port use as a switch

[info_systemhaus]

Is it now or in Future possible to user the secondary gigabit wired Port on a 3715i AP as a forwarding or switched Port ??? We have different situations where are only one ethernet Port is located in a classroom ... Actually we Need this Port for the AP but it would be Great to forward the wired ethernet to a secondary device Iike a wired Beamer or anything .

Hello Ali,

sorry but I don ́t understand your question ... what is the relation to 11n or 11ac ?

We have actually a project with a Campus of a small University here in Germany .. the Campus is a very wide area of small houses and some of them have only one wired port as a copper Connection to the Backbone. Actually we have there 8 Port Switches on this port but we want to Change to a only wireless enviroment.

There it would be great to use the second Port on a AP3715 as a Switch port to connect a secondary

AP or a Beamer behind the AP3715 without the needing of addional wired Installation or the needing of a Switch infrastructure ( on top of the AP3715 ). Some of these houses are about 40 m and there we need 2 AP's . If i could use the secondary Port on the first AP as a switched Port .. i could connect the secondary AP over an inhouse copper Connection without aditional switches ..

Regards Christian

This is something that we have considered but have not yet confirmed. I would love to hear your use case(s) for this request. It clearly makes sense for 11ac but not sure how it would help you with 11n?

Due to the nature of this question, I am going to change it to a product idea so we can start monitoring it in our product engineering queue. Thanks!

I have actually 3 projects with more than 20 AP.... and in every project minimum 3 situations where i could perfect use the secondary wired port for connecting other devices behind the AP . So it would be Great from you to create such a feature request ! (C4)
