An extender isn't wired to a port on the router; it picks up the router signal just like your computer does. It then rebroadcasts it in the area where it is located. Here is a manual for the one I purchased as a FYI. It will give you an idea of how easy they are to set up. Hope this helps.

Can't speak for all extenders, but this one is password protected. I used the same password I use for my router to keep things simple.
I have a feeling this is going to be above my paygrade haha...
My ASUS RT N66U has four LAN ports and I would like to extend one of these ports to a WIFI router extender that will communicate over WIERLESS to additional devices in its zone of operation...
I suspect there will be additional programing to get my first N66U router which is connected to my cable modem to recognize the second router/extender... Maybe all of that will will show up when I get started.
Most WIRELESS ROUTERS I find only have LAN CAT5 connections on them that perhaps may only be connected to devices not back to the main router if that makes any sense...
Will take some learning on my part I bet haha Would hate to spend money on wireless router that won't support being activated by a wired connection back to a different router...

If you've run CAT5 before then you know wired beats wireless - every hour of every day.
I actually have CAT5 run to all of the rooms here with a patch panel back here in my so called Radio/Computer room. That would be a short run of a CAT5 extension in the kitchen to get from the wall to the East side windows where I could velcro a WIFI extender to the window glass...
I guess those WIFI extenders have pass-word protection even if you are direct feeding using CAT5 cable... I have neighbors around me on two sides here...
Might be a good solution for me...
