Will this work to bring internet to a desktop in another room? Wifi is down the hall on another desktop.

That's what it's designed to so. Just connect it to your wifi network and plug it in to the other computer and off you go. I you only need to connect one computer there are other, smaller options such as wireless network adapters which connect via USB but this will also work and can support multiple devices.

Any device (computer, TV, game console, etc) with an ethernet port should get internet connectivity through this wireless adapter.

Anything that has an iEthernet port can use this for internet. All this does basically is replace a long Ethernet cable with a wireless signal it pulls from your router no special drivers needed just hook to your pc the first time to log it to your network unplug it and put it wherever you want and it'll pull the wifi signal and send it through an Ethernet cable to whatever you need to have internet that didn't have wifi

I believe the directions say if you use it just for a TV then no. If you use it for a modem for internet then yes.. You need bidirectional communication that means the signal needs to travel both directions in order for your internet connection to work.

I would think it would work fine. Shouldn't matter what kind of router or IP address. It should have the ability to extend the signal.

Ethernet cable in, Ethernet cables out. It's just a switch that switches from one unit to the other. If they're connected by Ethernet cables it should work. I use it to disconnect my computer from the Internet, it works great for that.

I do not believe it will work very well. Ceton web site do not recommend it. This device require a lot of bandwidth. If you have a short distance to travel it might work well. The more distance the signal has to travel and more walls it has to penetrant it will be worst, and anything device that connected on wi-fi will slow everything down on wi-fi. A wired connection provide the best solution and will not affect your wi-fi devices.

This is likely the wrong direction for you. This is if you have working WiFi, and want a wired ethernet connection. A WiFi access point or a wireless router would be what you want.

The best way for it to work is to hook up one plug link from router to wall via ethernet cable and other from wall to desired PC via ethernet cable and best range is 25ft to 30ft. I am running 75mbps and runs great.

It should work through the wired ethernet connection. You would have to plug it into the internet or ISP connection on the router.

I hooked up the ARRIS modem to a Netgear router and from my router I connected my desktop computer. My laptop picks up internet signals from anywhere in my house. So it works.

Not positive, but if you have your desktop connected directly to the adapter and not the wifi then NO!

I'm not sure if you mean internet or ethernet. This is a router and uses either a WiFi signal or a CAT5 ethernet to create a hotspot for your devices with NAT. It will not act as a larger antenna to bring in WiFi where there is no WiFi. If there is WiFi nearby that your devices are not seeing, look for a wireless antenna such as Radio Labs.

Yes it would work if you ran a Cat 5 ethernet cable from your router to the 5 port switch and then attached your devices to the switch using some more ethernet cables. However, have you thought of getting a wifi extender instead to get the signal to your bedroom. I also have a Netgear Universal Range Extender and that works great to get a strong signal all over my house.

No, it won't. It is an alternative to WIFI or Ethernet. Instead of connecting an ethernet wire between two spots, this permits you to use a coaxial cable.

It will, you plug this device into a wired ethernet port and it will allow you to use that connection wirelessly.

We have a wireless router for our laptops, but our desktop PCs are still wired into the router too ...in another room. So what do you suggest? I wonder if two routers in one home would work. Our Wii is in the room with the tv that we would like to install the player, so then we have to wonder about how this would effect it's wireless capabilities too.

I haven't tried this but as long as your PC is setup for video sharing, it should work. I can see my home network when setting up the dongle.
