Wireless Access Point mesh
I am looking to set up an Omada system. I wanted to confirm that if one Access point is connected via ethernet, others can be connected wirelessly? I will run a few new CAT-6 cables but wanted to be sure I can add some additional acceesspoints wirelessly without running additional POE/ethernet cables. I think this is the case but couldnt make a final determnation in the literature, amazon, or you tube, Thanks in advance.

If the AP model in question supports Mesh, then yes, 1 wired (root) AP can act as an uplink for multiple wirelessly connected APs. Note, you still need to provide power somehow to the remote APs. You will also need a controller, either a hardware one like the OC200, or a software version (Win/Linux) running in a VM/Container/Server/Pi etc.
Some APs do not support Mesh, like the EAP110-outdoor, nor most wall units with the current exception of the EAP615 which does.
