Does this hub have to be hard wired to a router?

Unfortunately I read this AFTER I bought it. It says "wireless" a lot, and the whole "connect to router" is buried! It only has 98 feet capability, well the way my house and walls are, my small house requires a router booster to reach the bedrooms. This thing doesn't reach the lights I bought for my kids for Christmas. Now I get to return this and the lights. Unless anyone knows how to get a round it.

I have a first generation bridge, will this perfectly replace it?? Will The old bulbs still work?

If you buy the new Hue bridge and want to transfer your lights from the old bridge, I recommend that you first update the firmware on the old bridge and make sure you are running the latest Philips Hue app. I was successful transferring my Philips 610 lumen (color) Hue and 750 lumen (white) Lux bulbs. Once the updates are complete, turn on all your Hue bulbs and hook up the new bridge next to the old bridge. Don't disconnect the old bridge yet. Go to the Hue app and select "Settings>My Bridge>Bridge to Bridge Transfer". Your lights will be transferred automatically when the on-screen instructions are carefully followed. The exact wording in the app may be slightly different, just look for the "Bridge to Bridge Transfer". Once the transfer was completed, I updated the firmware on the new bridge to the latest version and disconnected the old bridge. I can now use Siri to control all the Hue bulbs. A manual bulb-transfer is possible, but the procedure is a lot more complex.

The quantity says "2 pack." How many hubs did you receive?

Listing has been corrected to 1-pack.

What is the range of the bridge, or do the lights connect through your router?

They connect through the bridge, so the bridge has to be in range of the lights. I have my bridge in my upstairs man cave with hue lights in there and also outside on my front upstairs and downstairs porch and they work fine. The max distance to the furthest hue light is about 50 feet through several interior and one stucco exterior wall.
