    The AP-270 series have 2 ethernet ports designated WAN (accepting PoE) and LAN.  Can the second ethernet port on an AP-270 series be used to extend the network?  Can I connect a second AP off the second connection?  Or is the LAN port only used when powering the AP with AC power?

    You should be able to.

    Enable the wired AP under the AP sys profile and configure the type of switch port config (access or trunk) and the VLAN(s) needed and finally assign it to Ethernet 1

    Make sure that a the VLANs exist on the controller
