“Can I hard wire the extender to my router if I want to extend my signal?”

• its not necessary. You plug the extender in away from the router/modem, but close enough to still be in range of the primary one. It adds to the primary and extends the distance. It has a built in meter to show you where to put it. You download the app to your smart phone and plug it in and the meter shows you good, best, not good when you place it. You need to do that automatically to set up the extender in one of the steps.

• Yes you can but usually you want the extender near the edge of your router wifi signal area. Most of the time, unless your home is wired for it, you will be farther than most wiring will reach.

• Hi, Tatiana. Once the extender is successfully set up with your router, there's no need to hardwire it.
