A Chateau LTE7 ax for two different reasons

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

The setup

  • The main router is a RB5009 connected to 250/100 Mbps fiber.
  • Two APs (hAP ax² and wAP ax) controlled by CAPsMAN, covering two small apartments (one of them my own).

The idea

  • A cottage (my sister's) on the property needs wifi6 access.
  • I would also like to add LTE7 (300/100 Mbps) fallback with the Chateau.

The question

Would it be possible to use the LTE7 modem of the Chateau, routed through the 5009, while using the Chateau's wifi6 as an AP for the cottage?

I don't see why not.
Which kind of connection there Is (or can be made) between the RB009 and the Chateau?

I looked at both the Chateau LTE7 ax and the new wAP ax LTE7 but I decided not to go for the latter because the maximum speed of the ETH ports are 1 Gbps (the Chateau has one 2.5 Gbps port).

The Chateau's maximum wifi6 speed is less than 2.5 Gbps and the RB5009 has one 2.5 Gbps port so that is what I intend to use.

Well, the wifi is anyway about half of what is on the label, as it is half-duplex, so at the most 574+1200=1774/2=867 and of course the LTE 300/100 is something that you are unlikely to ever get (maybe once a year, on a wednesday night, if there is full moon) so even a 1 Gb link would have not represented (IMHO) a noticeable bottleneck, and in any case the LTE traffic will only happen when the main connection is down.
But if you can use a 2.5 Gb link it is of course better.

A 2.5 Gbps connection would allow me to explore faster LTE versions in the future. ...if this LTE7 experiment works well enough.

The Chateau might even be able to cover both my apartment and the cottage. That would expand functionality without increasing the number of units.

The extra ethernet ports comes in handy too.
