I believe so. Good luck. My only problem is that the unit is so small I keep misplacing it ........

Yes. By trying to use both you are creating an Ethernet loop. Ethernet is a point to point technology. Your router sees the same MAC address on two different links

You can use an Ethernet cable to connect this device to an Ethernet port on your router. By plugging the USB connector on this device into a USB port on your computer you can achieve a wired connection to your network. This device does not provide WiFi capabilities.

Actually, yes it can. I recently used this in a hotel that had no wired access, but had a captive login which required me to enter my hotel loyalty program ID. I setup the router to work in WISP mode and it connected to the hotel's SSID. I then attempted to access the Internet from my laptop and was met with the browser window asking me for my credentials and asking me to agree to their TOS. Once I entered all that, all of my connected devices started working (multiple iPads, iPhones, a laptop, and a Chromecast). Every 24 hours all devices stopped working and I had to agree to that page again from just one of the devices. Actually, yes it can.

Yes you can use Nano and wifi at the same time. Remember though, the Netgear Powerline Nano set is good for connecting to a single device. To add another device using Nano, you need to purchase additional adapter.

I have an airport express with an ethernet port. You plug in the airport express into the wall, run an ethernet cable from the Mini to the Airport Express and you're done. I use this scenario presently.

Yes, you can set it up for either wired or not wired from the menu. It has an Ethernet connection in the back. I have two, one wired and one Wi-Fi. Works great either way. Enjoy!

Yes. It's the only way to use it. Plug in your LAN line from the wall jack.

Yes, you can connect it to a wired port on your router. I have done this and it works well. I would imagine that connecting it to a switch which is connected to the router would also work fine, but I haven't tried that personally.

Yes...it depends on the type of connection you are using. My husband is staying in a long term hotel and using the free WiFi and he has troubles keeping a connection. However, at home, connecting to our router, he has no problems at all. Keep looking for a stronger connection.

No you don't have to have the RJ45 port plugged in all the time. Some people may not have a wireless lan set up. Also, it may be easier for initial setup of the device.

Yes. I am currently doing just that. Keep in mind though, it is not a WiFi router. You have to plug an Ethernet cable into it or plug an access point in it for WiFi.

Yes. Just connect one of the ethernet ports from back of the gateway to the ethernet input port in the Airport. But that is duplicating the features of gateway unless you are specifically needing the features of the Airport. I simply stopped using my Airport once we got the gateway working to our satisfaction.

You can use Ethernet. You have to do initial set up via Ethernet, just don't enable wireless and you'd be all set.

Yes, if you configure it properly. Sounds like you would use the 'client' mode which makes the D-Link act as a wireless connection point for a wired Ethernet device.

As sold, you can you must use a LAN cable. If you want to wirelessly, you have to buy an additional accessory.

yes, there is one ethernet port on the device for putting it on your network. the wifi access point needs to be connected to some other switch or router that's already on the network.
