I have general network setup question. Can anyone tell me if this is correct?

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

It should be simple. The utility helps you set it up for users that don't know how to navigate the router directly. I would not recommend to enable the guest account /login. That part can be confusing and difficult for guest users.

Yes, it will work. In the previous reply are the settings that you need to setup in order to use this router. Best regards.

You don't mention if this is a Home network or one for an Office with many users. This would make a huge difference in the way to go. On a home network just share it from the computer it is running from, on a larger network I would agree for a user friendly setup go with the Cisco-Linksys.

I would think this is possible... but you need to keep the packet hops to a minimum... you are already at 4 with just the bridges with this given configuration.

As Paul said, you have to chose, it cant function as both. If you want multiple devices to use it, it sounds like you want it as an extender. During setup it will ask you which one you want. Simple as that.

everything depends on your setting and what you want to do, I probably wouldn't use this unit for the purpose ststed - I would get a repeater, they cost about the same, but - it all depends on the setting and what you really want to do - a 'network guy' should look at your setting.

Probably, this unit is highly flexible in its choices, you may even be able to do this several ways, though you may need to go into the units settings to set it up manually. Some of the hidden networks may be set up in the operating system software and may be platform sensitive. I tried to give detailed information on my review on how to set up this unit for use in Linux and this may review may have some helpful information for your need. I also found the tech support of the TP Link company to be good and you may wish to query them through their official site. I think that they may have the manual in pdf form to look at there also.

I've been usin them together for at least 4 months. I have had no problems. You should be just fine using them together. I've been really pleased with my Internet speed.

should be fine just turn off dhcp and if you have to... point most of the ips towards youf router(dns,dhcp,gateway). You'll still need a seperate wifi "id" I think.

sure, you are setting up a little wireless network. Numerous "How To's" on the web. Remember this is line of sightbeyond that easy peasy

Yes it is. The wireless set up was easy. (Make sure you follow the instructions carefully) Once set up on my home network it worked fine. A recent update was pushed out but I've haven't had any problems.

I don't think that matters. We have three units, one where the router is and two others all on different circuit breakers. Network works fine.

I use it in conjunction with a 1st router. So if this is what you mean, the answer is yes.
1208337
Yes. I have two of this in an old computer i'm using as advanced router between 3 different networks. Both are working at 1000 full duplex, onboard interface just 100 full duplex.

The manual says no. You can set it to use both on the same network for faster throughput. I have not tried, but that is what the manual says.

For a home network it's pretty much plug-n-play. You will have to reboot your computers after you put the router onto the network because it will assign different IP addresses (192.168.88.0 I think... I forget) but it should just start up and run. It's only when you start doing port forwarding, special outbound blocking, etc. that it can get tricky.
