Extension cord plugging in the airport express 802.11n wifi

Can you use an extension cord to plug in the airport express 802.11n wifi? There is no outlet close to where I want to use it.

what is a good replacement for an airport express 802.11n My home wifi network has relied on a group of airport express 802.11ns controlled by an airport extreme of the same vintage. All has been well for many years but I have inserted a TP Link Archer A7 extender to reach a remote part of my home. All is well, as the A7 has set up its own address and things operate smoothly from there. My question is, what other small footprint extenders can I replace the express units with - there are three - and do it economically without disrupting the rest of the system? Thoughts, anyone?

Can you set up a non-Apple WiFi range extender to work in bridge mode with an Airport Extreme? Maybe I used the wrong search terms, but for the life of me, I could not find any discussion here about adding an ethernet-connected, non-Apple WiFi extender to an Airport Extreme. I understand this cannot be done wirelessly due to Apple's proprietary design, but I am using an ethernet cable and trying to connect a non-Apple range extender in bridge mode. The Airport Extreme is connected to a modem, and is already being extended by an AirPort Express in bridge mode without any issues. The device I am trying to connect in the same way is a Joowin Outdoor High Power Wireless AP / Wifi Range Extender (model JW-EW74). After completing the bridge mode setup on the Joowin device, I connected it by ethernet cable to my Airport Extreme, but now when I connect to the internet, the signal drops out intermittently, and the Joowin extender never appears in AirPort Utility (or does that only show Apple devices?) I can set the Joowin range extender to work in AP mode, but then we can't roam seamlessly around the house, which is the main reason I bought this extender. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Malcom. Some electronic devices say "do not use an extension cord" in their manual. Couldn't find any mention of that in the instruction set up for the Airport Express.
