A:Answer 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.
