AC1600 Configuration Question

Hi benkearney7,
Good day!
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
First of all, we do apologize for the inconvenience of not getting back to you immediately due to the backlog in the system. Regarding your concern, the router needs to be wired to the modem. If you are planning to extend the wireless signal to the other room, we would recommend getting a mesh extender instead.
