So you have to connect at least one of the nodes to your modem or router for it to broadcast. Using a CAT5 cable is all you need.
Once you've connected at least one node, the rest can be wireless and placed wherever you desire.

I have my primary node connected via CAT5 to cable ISP provided modem through a wall jack, into another room. Then my secondary node is wireless and upstairs from the primary. My last node is about 250 feet down the hall in a bedroom with nothing else.

So to answer your question, yes I believe it will be able to do what you are asking. 
This unit replaces your "router" and becomes THE ROUTER. You won't need to bridge them together with coax anymore.

It should work. However the 1st unit needs to be wired directly to the modem. Then the router can be connected to the first unit.

I believe this product will extend your WiFi. I purchased the Google mesh with three extenders and it expanded my WiFi throughout my first floor of home along with allowing me to now use WiFi in my basement. I would try it.

Yes. I've installed these in business environments where the ISP modem is in bridge mode and I've had to configure port forwarding. No prob.
