HDHomeRun Quatro setup question

Ok, I think I'm about to go all in with Plex and add in a HDHomeRun Quatro (4-tuner) setup to utilize the Live TV and DVR functionality. However, I wanted to get the expertise here to make sure my setup would be ok.
-Purchase HDHomeRun Quatro and plug that in to my ATT Router (that I must use). I actually use Google Wifi pucks running from ATT router.
-Plug in Antenna
-Utilize my laptop, connected via wifi to download and DVR everything from plex.
I really have 2 main questions:
1) Can I record to my laptop, which is usually connected via wifi through plex?
2) Any issues with having the Google Wifi connected to the ATT Router that's mandated? I guess I could always connect the HDHomeRun to the google puck.
ETA: Ohhhh a downvote. I'm intrigued. Is someone anti-plex, anti-HDHomerun or anti-me?

Connect the quatro to your router/switch.
Any computer with Plex on it and on the same network can act as the recording device.
It's best to use a hardwire connection to the quatro and the recording computer.. The quatro doesn't convert the OTA signal from mpeg2 to h.264, like the extend does.

Wait, how?
It only has 3 connections, right?:
1) Power
2) Ethernet (Which plugs into the router)
3) OTA Antenna input
Where or how would I plug it into my NAS or my laptop?

He means if you're going to run your Plex server on the laptop, you should plug it into the network rather than wifi.

and if you are going to run a plex server you need it to be running all the time. unless you want to go turn on your laptop and start plex anytime you want to watch tv

Yea I do. I usually just clamshell my laptop and let that puppy serve.
