If not, it’s not really possible to move my router/base station unless I use an extender. Also, I’m not certain an WiFi extender will help, based on the fact hard wire connection is always best I would believe.
Does anyone have experience with either??
Thanks!

Use of an extender is a great way to be able to position the base optimally if you don't want to use multiple bases. It won't impact your Internet speeds but speed on the extender can be half the normal expected speed if you use the same frequency (2.4 or 5GHz) to connect to the router. It depends on what your router supports (both frequencies?) as well as the extender. Better ones use one frequency to connect to the router and the other for WiFi access. However, since you're using the extender just for the base, which is hard-wired, There's really no issue.
A powerline extender could be another choice due to no WiFi involvement at all.

The only true way to expand coverage is with multi bases.... Unnown if the signal from the router ( as base ) would give a better signal.
As to extenders , yes, they work quite well. Many online have used them.
If the extender has a good signal from the main router and an ethenet port for a second base, that sounds like it would solve your issues.

Many folks here, including myself, have used WiFi and/or powerline extenders to position bases where they need them. Extra base stations aren't that expensive compared to the cost of your system or even an extra camera. You may be able to find used ones, too (make sure the old owner has removed it from Settings, My Devices so you can claim it).
