So I'm looking for a wireless range extender in the plug mount configuration that can use the ethernet port as the input for the network, vs the output. I have a TP-link range extender that works okay as a range extender, but I also happen to have an ethernet port right next to the outlet I use for the range extender. I'd like to be able to use the small footprint of a plug mount range extender, but use it as an access point so the range extender can connect to the house network at the full speed of the home network. You lose a lot of speed on a range extender since you are just amplifying an already weak signal AND you're doubling the data you're sending over the wireless network. So far I've searched in vain. Thanks for your input.
