XR 1000 internet setup to wifi
Is it possible to hook up XR1000 to internet without using ethernet cable. I used cable to setup but would prefer to use wifi for better location and lack of wired connection. How do I do it? Thanks. Im ok using it as an wifi extender if I need to.
Thanks, I will get a powerline adapter.

The XR series don't support wireless bridging so this is not supported. XR routers need a modem or ONT to connect to via ethernet?
Thanks.
- It does need to be connected via ethernet cable. You could use a powerline adapter from the ISP router and then connect the XR1000 into that but it has to get a wired connection in some way.
