I have a similar requirement, but for Shelly1 WiFi relays to control a remote gate. I ended up with the extender in a waterproof box high up under the eve of the house, about 30 feet from the indoor WiFi router. It works fine. So go with height to reach 170 feet.
My understanding of the Ethernet port:...if you have an Ethernet plug in your garage you can connect the wifi (extender/Access Point) to the ethernet port of the TP-Link (cable not included) to get better wifi coverage in your garage.

So I called Apple and the Tech guy said I have to delete "MOM WIFI" from the Network List. I said I DONT see it on the list. Apple said there are TWO lists, and it's on the "List of Remembered Networks" deep inside the Computer, since my computer remembers when I lived with Mom, it was on the MOM WIFI Network!
So I went into "Advanced Settings" and deleted MOM WIFI from the List Of Remembered Networks!
Now, my computer only goes on MY network "Bob's iPhone Network" (I use my iPhone as a "Wifi Hot Spot"!
I hope this info helps you!

Or, if you have a network printer connected to your router and a PC connected to the extender, your PC won't see the printer.
This it's recommended to match the Password to your router so it's a seamless network. According to the support person, you can change the wifi name at least, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it.

Yes, as long as you set it up within 3 feet of the mifi router, it will extend your signal. Mine is set up this way, and doubled my signal range inside the house.
