Does the extender have an ethernet port?

I’m a fan of this one… (20$ US amazon) [https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt300n-v2/](https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt300n-v2/) Basically, the wireless radio in the little router connects to your wifi network as a client, Then, you’ll connect the Wyze base station to the LAN port on the router using an Ethernet cable. I’m a fan of that piece of hardware specifically because it runs OpenWRT / LEDE in the advanced UI.
