Connecting Unite explore mobile hot spot to nighthawk router and adding a wifi range extender.
Moved far enough out that the fiber doesnt reach. Using a Unite Explore mobile wifi hotspot the signal comes in great with good speed (72-144 mbps vs 20 down 8 up on the phone copper line).
Can I use a netgear wifi range extender to reach the far corners of the property and/or can I use my nighthawk router to pick up the wifi signal and transmit through the hard wires going to each room? Or something else. Distance and strenght are the issues.

Hello Lostinthecorn
Does the mobile hotspot have a Ethernet connection in order to connect it to the Nighthawk router? if so you could hook it up to the router. And you should be able to use a extender to reach distant spots in your home just fine.
