Will it need a fixed IP address for TCP/IP communication or can work with a dynamic IP address?

Hi, Arfat. A fixed IP address is needed for TCP/IP communication, please noted.

As long as you have a valid IP address, it should work fine. I am not sure about your particular modem, and if it uses DHCP or not.

Yes. Just set up port forwarding on your router. And if you want, you can use a dynamic DNS service to maintain a constant URL to access through.

Yes, in Settings, Network, TCP/IP Setup you have a choice:TCP/IP Setup Obtain an IP address automatically(DHCP)Use the following IP address Obtain DNS Server address automaticallyUse the following DNS server address HTTP/RTSP port: RTP port range: -- HTTP/RTSP Authentication method:Use Basic AuthenticationUse Digest Access Authentication

It needs a wired ethernet port, and it can be configured (browse to http://v-configure.com) with a fixed IP address or it can accept an IP from the DHCP server between it and the internet. A cable modem works as that upstream DHCP server, no reason a wireless device won't work. I have one from clear.com and it behaves just like a cable modem.

If you're going to be plugging this directly into a cable modem or DSL modem, then NO. It does not assign IP addresses, for that you would need a router.If you already have a router that can assign IP addresses, then yes, this would basically be like adding more ports if you plug it in to your router.

Yes it can but you have to configure it to do so. look up "port forwarding" Cheers

I wouldn't think so, it likely uses a proprietary encoding over the Ethernet cable and wouldn't get a ip address or obey the other protocols required to function over a network router/switch.

You would have to set it up in infrastructure mode then open a internet browser and put the IP address in....

This is a pretty advanced device. It is used for point to point networks. You need a computer to configure this device through its web interface. It does not need permanent connectivity to a host.

I am doing this for a work site to the main office. It's a bit buggy getting it running though and will need public IP addresses. You may want to review current documentation though to verify they haven't created a sync via hosted web service since we set ours up.

don't have that, I have w7. In theory, it should work as long as their configuration tool runs correctly in w8. The config tool is basically a one time run; unless you are planning to change IP configuration frequently.

It doesn't have a DHCP server (nor does it make sense for it to have on since it is intended to be assigned one by your DHCP server, typically your router). That said you could assign a static IP to the server and your PC, you won't need a router for that configuration (that is how I used to configure my network before home routers became cheap and ubitquitous).

Difficult to answer. This is an unmanaged switch which is different from a router in that you can not assign IP or IP Range. With a router you can change parameters with an attached computer then un-attach the computer and it will continue to work as assigned. Check the BluRay Players onwners manual and see if specifies use of a router and not a switch/bridge/extender or if it requires a specific IP Address. If not, this switch will work.

Yes, it will work with a standalone router and DHCP server (in fact you need one), and you don't "need" a computer with the controller software all the time but I've seen a couple of weird things were it doesn't work quite right without a controller, then again I have a setup that has been working fine for about 4 months without a controller. (if all the power went out, i would be surprised if the APs came backup perfectly)

yes and no: it does support OpenVPN but not its most 'secure' configuration. The OpenVPN server and client on the router use TCP ports (which are vulnerable to SYN attacks) and SSL keys (instead of TLS). It is a better idea to have another machine take care of the OpenVPN server/client configuration and use the router as a firewall (you can implement a simple bruteforce deterrent using the firewall rules)

Yes, just be sure to give them separate names, like "MyNet-East" and "MyNet-West". I have two of these and set them to static IP addresses in a range not assigned by my router's DHCP host so I can always get at them to check status, update firmware, and so on.
