Switches

A very simple question ... do I need to plug this into the router or can it run off wifi? I have a wifi extender and wanted to plug it in to this, would this work?

    I've plugged a switch into an extenders ethernet output without issues other than the expected slow down from running through an extender and not direct connected.
