Need range extender with Ethernet cable connection only

My electrician ran two ethernet connections in seperate closets to extend wifi in a new home. I am not sure what type of extenders to purchase for this. I need something that does not need a power supply. Can anyone please advise? I apperciate your help.

    Hi KBZ,

                    All extenders need a wall outlet either to connect them directly to it or their power adapter to it.

      Yes, the extender would need to be powered by Ethernet cable only. Do I need a certain extender for this?

        Hi KBZ,

                        Unfortunately, none of Netgear extenders support PoE for now.
