@Shandor

Both should work as wifi to ethernet bridges

Ie wifi from the hub and ethernet to a device

@Shandor

Or a pod can be on the end of an ethernet run from the router, or connected to ethernet cable from a Powerline network adapter. I imagine they may also act in a passthrough mode.

All of these should be automatically configured: pods are essentially not possible to administer separately.

Does this mean if you plug it into a wifi socket that runs through your house, the Pod will use that more reliable connection instead of picking up and extended the original wi-fi signal?

WiFi doesn't have sockets.

If you mean an ethernet cable running back to the router, then yes.
