Who I have the same questioned this topic

My E3200 WiFi Extender will not pair with CR1000a except using coax.

The set up instructions indicate that I should be able to pair the extender to the router using 1) CAT5/6 or 2) coax or 3) wireless.  I want to pair the extender, then move it to a part of the house with medium coverage, and just plug the extender into power.  The new house is not wired with cat6 or coax because we want to rely on Wi-Fi only.

Others have told me that I must have the extender connected by wire to the router.

Two questions are:

Should E3200 and CR1000a pair wirelessly?

After pairing, can I place the E3200 extender on a bookshelf with power but no hardwired connection to the router?

Thanks
