Nighthawk EAX20

Hello, I have the nighthawk connected to my router by Ethernet, once it is up and running can I disconnect the Ethernet and move the nighthawk to a different room?

    No. If you're setting it up hardwired, you'd set it up in access point mode. If you're setting it up to be used wireless, you'd set it up in extender mode. And in that mode, it shouldn't be hardwired to the router.
