So I have an eero 7 pro 3 pack that are all wired back hauled through a 2.5 g switch. I also have a PoE fortinet switch with 1 gig ports I'm not using much with. In this house I bought there is a cat6 cable going outside I wanted to wire an extender since it's there and will give better backyard coverage.

Question is, can I use a TP link or other brand outdoor PoE capable wifi AP as an extender for the backyard instead of shelling over more money for the eero 7 outdoor? Thanks in advance. Please let me know if you need more info.
