Hi. In the middle of the house is where are modem is. Living room and bedroom is in each end of the house. I have one ethernet cable to living room and one to bedroom.

I want to have to accesspoint, one on bedroom and a wireless router(asus rt-ac66) in living room. So now the question is. Can i connect the modem to a switch,and the cable to living room to the switch, connect to a Lan port 1 on router in living room, and then from Lan port 2 to wan port on that router?
 
Solution
Unless your modem is a router it will not work. The modem will in most cases only give you 1 ip address so you can only have 1 device connected to it.

The path must go modem--router----switch----multiple AP.
