Question about AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender Smart Plug. (Ethernet port question)

Hardware Version :

Hello,
My company is looking for a solution for power cycling / restarting some of our devices in remote locations. We work with some companies that have some very strict rules for us.
1. We cannot use any WiFi, and if products have WiFi, they must not be used.
2. We operate under strict VLAN IP settings.
Some of our problems come from the motherboards in our devices needing to be power cycled, which we normally ask our clients to do for us over the phone. However, if we were capable of getting a smart plug hooked up, then maybe we could just do it through a Kasa App!
Which sounds great. Except we have strict internet rules :(. Maybe HS100s or TP-Link Smart Plugs won't work for us..... Or maybe they will?
So looking into any solution for wired smart plugs, I came across a possible contender: https://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/cat-5701_RE270K.html
I already have TP-Link repeaters, and I know that the software allows for the Ethernet port to intake internet. So I was thinking "could this possibly be a way to have TP-Link Smart Plugs that work with a wired solution?"
I also have the other caveat of the strict static IP settings, but this can possibly be done with the router itself. I would still prefer though assigning the IP for the device, so that I can hook it up directly to my clients networks.
