I'm looking to buy the W161 for my mom. I setup an OPNsense firewall/router for her. I just want to replace her old Linksys router with something newer. Does the W161 support access point mode so that she can continue using OPNsense as her main firewall/router? Also, do both W161 devices support ethernet backhaul? Thanks.

The W161 does support Access Point mode, and when operating in this mode, it requires a backhaul connection.
