Not quite. They sell a thernwt adaptor that allows for Ethernet connections.

With regards to the OP’s questions the wifi coverage is totally dependent upon the environment variables so I think your testing is the only way to determine. Regarding the second question I think that routing will do what you want but unfortunately the SL modem does not have this capability. Also I am going to assume that since you are retired that unless you are a tech nerd like me you don’t have a compelling reason to explore a ruggedized router solution like Peplink or Cradlepoint. Both of those options provide BGP and OSPF routing.
