If I only have hardwire connection in my house - NO WIFI- can I use this product in my house?

Yes it has a jack on the side. Rj45 into your network, plug it in at both ends and connect your pc. Good solution for a room not wired or weak wifi.
787736
Yes as long as you have a modem that the first plug link can hook up to so as to send the initial signal through the power line.
787737
Yes. All you need to do is connect the plug link into one off the ethernet ports and simply connect the other plug link from the wall to the computer you are trying too get internet service on. I used this for 9 months for bringing internet to my garage and i never had any problems.

If it isn't hardwired directly to your computer, yes. If you have wifi you need a router.

i don't know, i use a hardline... i imagine so if you got a wireless router and a usb wifi antenna...

It's a good product either way, but your wireless network is most likely slower than your wired network and will thus be slower to access this device. Having said that, I have quite a few of these running with customers (and my home) and they work great either way.

I'm very sorry, but I don't use WiFi, I'm an old lady, I don't even know what WiFi is. Maybe ask the seller you're thinking about buying from. Good luck

As long as you have a router with a network in your home, or an access point if you're not home, that's all you need. The wifi is built in, you just have to connect to the network

There is an ethernet port for a hardwired connection. You may want to look at a USB wireless device that will allow you to establish a wireless connection.

No. This device is designed to connect the computer to a WIFI router, not the other way around.SoftAP may make this possible but check out whether it is doable on your computer before you buy.

As I already have wi-fi at my residence, I'm not sure. You could possibly call an electronics store (Best Buy, Sears, etc). They should be able to verify the answer.

It is my understanding that will only work with the system base, meaning that will not work directly with WiFi. (NOTE:If someone finds the way to have this working directly on WiFi, I will be very happy learning how, since mine only worked with the base and as per the book for about a day and no more, so I am stuck with a system that doesn't work regardless)

Installed one a few years ago and no, it does not need to be hardwired to a PC or laptop. The wifi on any unit will capture the signal as long it is within a direct line-of-sight appropriate distance. I've one for sale, too, if you're interested, tough not kind to the Amazon.com service!

It is better to do that ... I am not sure though why you need it if your laptop built-in wifi is working. If you are gonna use it it is better to stick to using it the time to avoid IP issues.

It should I do not see why not the only thing is the signal of the wifi needs to be strong you will be able to check the signal quality and strength once you download the software.

I wouldn't. Product never really worked right. Wireless signal was always spotty at best. No way to direct plug to circumvent wireless issues.

I was not able to get this unit to work with my home WIFI environment. The install is far too complex so I would assume that your needs would not make a good fit with this product. I think that the NetGear product line would be a much better fit.

I have wifi at home and that is all I needed. If you have wifi you will be fine. Thanks
