Is there a wireless adapter that will work with this system so that you don't have to run an Ethernet cable?

I've heard of people doing it but Swann does not support it. We have had people call in with problems when they try this

I did not even try since it was so simple for me to place the DVR in the same room with my ethernet switch. I must say I love the unit and I feel much more secure being able to sit in a restaurant or at a traffic light and see that my home is secure.

No but any Ethernet cable works fine. It's well worth the price and it worked great for me !

It's hard to know how to respond, because you don't say what ports your router has - or what OS you're using. The spec is pretty complete, and yes, there is no ethernet. If this is really vital, I might try connecting this to a specific host machine (I use Firewire) and then remote mounting it on other machines. (This is easy in the mac world, and I'm sure there are Windows solutions.) Hope this helps. At least, it's probably better than, "Huh?"

I have not seen a computer recently that does not include built in wireless, so I dont know why anyone would need a wireless adaptor. I can see that more for some games, printer or a desktop that does not have a wireless card. If this is just a router then S.R Schnur should be fine

There is an Ethernet connection socket on the back. It isn't wireless (it's a desktop unit). Having said that, I bought/installed a USB wireless network adapter on the 2 units bought due to difficulties in running cable.

The desktop does not come with a wireless N card built in. In my case, I used a wireless N USB adapter, but it would be best if you are able to directly connect an ethernet cable from your router. Something to note is that although the wireless adapter worked perfectly fine if connected to the front USB ports, for some odd reason, connecting to the back USB ports would result in some occasional interference.

Yea I believe any router will work with this. Once you connect it to a router by Ethernet cord the wifi should start running after you set it up

You will need an Ethernet cable to connect to your router. This will make you system connected to your wireless network.

not sure mine is hooked up with an Ethernet cable if the wireless is close by i would think you would have no problem.

Zero built in wireless on this board, I would go with an Intel or an ASUS adapter.

This is solely used to connect devices that only take Ethernet cables to a wireless network. So you would need a wireless network set up for this device to connect to.

Will it work to do what? This is not a hot spot...it's a device to turn a wired Ethernet port into wireless

yes it comes with a wireless adapter. sidenote: within a few days of setup the onboard ethernet port stopped working. had to shell out $10 for an ethernet. that said, very happy with the machine.

On it's own, it doesn't have wireless connection, or Ethernet connection.But maybe you can connect it through a PC that will server you for this purpose, and that will be connect to the network.

No connect it to a little repeater that has an Ethernet plug. Edimax is good.

You don't need an Ethernet cable if you have wireless capability from a router or access point.
