Connecting router to extender

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.

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

Make sure to look at the specs or manual to make sure it supports AP mode. Not all the base models or even 1 step up do.

  Not sure why you're asking on a netgear forum if a tplink will work.
