Connecting router to extender

Question

Can an extender be hardwired to the router and work as it should? We are trying to get Internet to an exterior building. We’re able to run a hardwire but I’m not sure if connecting this way will work.

that should do the job for what you've described.&nbsp;

some extenders can be hardwired to&nbsp; your router and setup in AP mode. Not all extenders have this option though.&nbsp;What extender do you have?&nbsp;How far are you running it?have you switched it to AP mode?&nbsp;

I don’t have one yet. It’s about 100’ I just wanted to make sure it can be done before getting one.

If you're running a hardline you have the option of running an extender in AP mode or a router in AP mode. Either would work.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Thank you for the information. Once I get one I’ll then figure out how to run it in AP mode, haha.
