Does it support optionally a wired connection or require drilling and adapter modding?

Just hardwired mine today. I bought a Cobra hardwire kit (they are universal), a Bussman BP/HHH fuse tap (both from Amazon) and a 2amp fuse from an auto parts store. Very easy. Hardest part is figuring out how to run the wire throughout your car so that it's out of sight. You may need to look up diagrams and photos of dashboard/panel removals. Not hard. Also, you need to find a fuse in your box that works only with the key in the ignition. Easy enough to test/research. Total cost of hardwiring this myself was less than $25. Quoted a price of $75 from a car audio place.

No The cord plugs into cigarrette lighter. I guess you could hard wire it if you wanted

Direct, wired connection. Check their website for more info; always the best source anyway.

It can be direct wired. It does not come with a cord, I installed mine with a cord I purchased at Lowes. You will need a 20 amp cord and a 20 amp receptacle. I bought an extension cord and cut one end off.

I hard wired mine, it's an option illustrated in the installation guide - wire connections are easy to join together and function is unchanged. On warranty - sometimes wiring requires a licensed electrician to maintain warranty but, if you were returning the unit, who would know how it was originally installed anyway? Hope tht helps

Doesn't need to be hard wired. Just attach it with a couple of screws to something solid and nearby. Very handy item.

sure, there is an access hole in the mount, just drill a hole to match and route the cable thru it. That's how you get power also. The power is not wireless. Being funny...

It is intended to be hard wired, providing only short wire connections from the circuit board to wire nut on to. However, I suppose you could connect an extension cord to it and plug it in. However, the plug would need to be accessible per NEC, you cannot use an outlet/plug connection behind a wall or other inaccessible location.

I have not wired mine yet, but it comes with everything you need to hardwire it. The mount that came with it is great.

Yes I does matter. I bought the plug and play kit which was very easy to wire. Call koso directly and they'll help you. That's what I did

Yes it needs to be wired, I put it next to my router and can access it from anywhere. I use computers, my iPhone, and my iPad. Works great!!!!

Hard wired, but kit comes with the wire nuts. Pretty simple install. All you need is a Philips screwdriver if I remember correctly.

No, this particular model has to be hardwired. Amazon has incorrect data in the table on the page for this product.

THis won't plug in directly, but it does come with a plug. You have to undo the wire nuts, and switch out the old plug with the new one- and you have to switch out the mounting ring. Both operations are very easy.

As ordered it needs to be wired in, but you might be able to modify the wiring to allow for plugging in...

No, but there are wiring options listed in the instructions that will accomplish what you wish

yes it does require wiring to a power source, block is just that a block with no wires.

That's about it. It does not need to be wired to the original router. It does need to be configured but that's consumer-doable. Note that the placement, composition of the walls etc. affects where the signal can go.
