If you hook this up to the netowrk with Cat5 can you still control the unit through the app from a phone? i Have wifi in house as well

Mine is connected through the Wifi, so I am not 100% sure about it. But my guess would that you should still be able to control this device using App. I believe the requirement is that both receiver and your phone (connected to home Wifi Network) are connected to same IP network.

Can you enter the required info and then use the router? I have not encountered this issue yet. The directions supplied with the device are of no help on this. Netgear Support should be able to answer this.

I'm sorry, I can't help you ... I purchased mine to be able to have WiFi access when I rearranged the furniture in my room and couldn't have direct access to my internet cable. I haven't had any problems with it.

I believe you need the insteon controller such as 2412N. I had to set it up on the computer for my iphone to talk to it. And I have not gotten the iphone to work outside the house (but that is a router port setting issue I am sure).

NO wifi, just the Cat5 cable. When the cable ran under my flat screen monitor, the phone sound was unusable. I rerouted the Ethernet cable and the sound became acceptable.

No, you can connect the unit directly to a standard router or switch - hub. This will link both network environments.

Yes you can, you just need to set it up, on android I belive you just download the app just like in apple, and using Wi-Fi, Well you have to set it up with the device you are going to use for that matter, if a PC just install the program that comes within the cd they send, it will be a little more complicated cause it might ask you to use a CAT5e to set it up, howerver its a lot easier if you ignore that part on the instructions and use only the UPS button on your modem or routter to set it up via Wi-Fi....

Wow, that one is beyond my pay grade.... I know when I am in my house I can control it from my computer, but my computer is connected to network, which is connected to internet... don't know if the internet connection is necessary. This company was very fast at responding to my question when I first purchased it, maybe an email to them...

I have a couple dozen of these controlled by my SmartPhone... but it's all dependent upon the Z-Wave controller you have in place. Do you have one of those yet? A good starter is one of the MiCasaVerde Vera units. There are several models. (also available here on Amazon). Then you'll also need some App interface. If you're using a Vera and an Android device, for instance, you'd use the app called "Home Buddy". But the short answer: "Yes, (assuming all else is in place) this can be controlled with your Smart Phone. : )

I use it with a Control4 controlled outlet, but you could also plug it into the wemo by belkin. It has a downloadable app that lets you control it from any smart phone or tablet or wemo wall switch.

The only way I can think of (right now) is to set up this iTach inside your local area network (make it work at home, by learning your AC ir commands, etc). After that, create a vpn (with a good vpn capable router) and connect from where ever you are through your VPN using your phone (or tablet, pc, mac, etc) to your home network and lauch which ever app you are using along with the iTach. (you not only need this hardware, you will also need a software to control it, there are a few decent free softwares out there... google it). But IT IS POSSIBLE, just get that VPN running and you are done...

I have this device connected to my Charter Modem and from there I am using a switch that splits my network connection 8 ways. One of those connections is to a Wi-Fi router. So far my home network has worked very well.

It has to be done using your phone, but your phone doesn't have to be on the same network while doing it. You first connect the unit using your phone and during the configuration, which is pretty easy but takes a couple of minutes for everything to connect to each other, but after that you should be good to go. I have used it over the data connection on my phone and not connected to wi-fi and had it work just fine. Plus, setting up the automatic on/off makes it even more convenient.

Yes, Just as long you have internet access. It uses a Cat5 connection to your router.Install the App to your smart phone or device, go through the setup and you're in. You will have alerts and logs when your garage opens or closes, you also can control open/close from anywhere in the world.This is an awesome product, I love it!Note if power loss or internet goes down, none of the features will work.

Hello, if I understand your question correctly, the best way to route the cat5 wires would be from the inside of this unit

for the initial setup you have to use the provided Ethernet cable and plug in the device to your wifi router and you can program the unit as instructed from there you will not require the cable

I have wireless access points out in my warehouse plugged in to our switch via CAT5 cables. As the cpowb said, we set each one with a dedicated IP once- that way you know where it is if you need to make admin changes. Haven't had to maintain that part of the network since setup. Each radio in each access point has a unique name so we can tell which one a device is connected to.
