WAP4410N defined as repeaters and not connected to the Gigabit switch

Nice day.  The scenario is like this.  From the modem/router broadband connected to a switch port Gigabit 8.  Then a WAP4410N is connected to the switch, cable connection over a distance of 90 metres.  WAP4410N is defined as a point of access to the area.  Then the second WAP4410N will run as the first WAP4410N Repeater.  My question is, can we put the second WAP4410N as Repeater, without the need to be connected to the switch via an ethernet cable.

Thank you.

Hello Rey square,

The short answer is Yes.

Please keep several factors of consideration. When you repeat a signal, you will lose almost 50% throughput for each pattern with a maximum of 3 repeat. As an example, if you have a 10mbit AP1 connection, you should expect around 5 Mbit connection when using the AP2. Also, keep in mind, 90 meters is 293 feet. Although the AP can cover about 5,000 square feet in absolutely perfect conditions, without obstruction, this 90 meters is a very large distance to the AP you will probably run to a degradation of the signal serious, and possibly unable to join AP1 AP2.
