Does it do NAT in "mode 1" (like a wireless router)? Mine only acts as an AP, bridging ethernet to wifi.

Short answer: no. Read on for the long answer. xaric, you are a bit harsh. Mode 1 is documented in the manual. An AP doesn't typically do NAT, they just pass data to the router, and the router does the NAT. Over here:

What the hell is mode 1? NAT is NAT. Yes, this device can plug into an ethernet port and can run as an AP. NAT is handled automatically. If it weren't, you would get no response packets. Methinks you should read up a little on network design and rephrase what it is you are trying to do.

Yes it's a full router, it has full DHCP capability. You can even assign certain WAN ports / LAN ports as you wish. I personally use it as both a load balancer and router for certain devices. I.E. I have a netgear router attached too it that handles general wireless duty via DHCP of it's own. My main systems (2) are plugged directly into the unit. This is a great device for failover/load balance I was definitely hesitant at first as I've seen devices 3x this much not work this well. To answer your question more succinctly I would have anything near enough for an Ethernet cable plugged into the device, you can plug in a router to extend the amount of devices + wireless if you wish. You can change LAN to WAN and vice versa, I personally use the first dedicated WAN port for one modem, 2nd LAN port switched to WAN for the 2nd modem (load balanced), as stated two systems plug directly in to the LAN ports DHCP, router goes into the last port for wireless / other devices less crucial. Reason I do this is because this device has a solid firewall and great attack mitigation features. Hope this helps.

I hope I am understanding your question, but one of its operating modes is as a router - that is how I use it. It connects one side to an existing wired network and then creates a wireless network with its own SSID. Any wifi device can then connect to that network and through it to the main network. This is the way I use it - to connect to say a hotel wired network and allow all my wifi devices to then connect through it.

Yes, it does full bridge mode. In the configuration, under Device Mode, choose Modem Only. No, it is not ipv6 compatible.

I did. works fine. make sure your router is configured right. I had to plug it into a LAN port instead of the wan port

You can use this router as a wireless access point. I have one of these routers connected to my main router in wireless repeater mode to get stronger signal in another part of my house. I also have three computers connected to the same wireless repeater via Ethernet so that I do not have to have wireless adapters for each of them to connect to my wireless network.

Shouldn't this switch be 802.at compatible (or as Cisco calls it, PoE+)? I need to power 2x 30W AP's. The datasheet suggests that it is.

Only with a wired connection, which actually makes it an AP rather than a bridge or repeater. It doesn't support that function natively. Also, the third-party firmware dd-wrt that would allow that function does not support this router. There may be another third party firmware that could allow it to work the way you want, but you're looking at some work getting it done. You would need good knowledge of networking most likely. If you require that feature then you would be better off looking into something that already has it built in, or that is supported by dd-wrt firmware.

This is an access point only. It does not route or NAT. It needs to be behind a router/firewall of some kind. It only bridges wifi devices to an existing network.

No. It is my understanding that it only uses the ethernet cable's copper to transmit the HDMI signal. It does not use any networking protocols. A router would not know what to do with this traffic, and would probably freak out or even damage your equipment.

It's hard to know how to respond, because you don't say what ports your router has - or what OS you're using.The spec is pretty complete, and yes, there is no ethernet. If this is really vital, I might try connecting this to a specific host machine (I use Firewire) and then remote mounting it on other machines. (This is easy in the mac world, and I'm sure there are Windows solutions.)Hope this helps. At least, it's probably better than, "Huh?"

YES - I just installed a used WRE54G with 1.0 firmware (no ethernet port) and it had to be configured FIRST with WEP but then allowed WPA (Not WPA2)

May also be able to use a network cable to plug into your router. I would just plug it it in to the network to see what happens. How do you currently have it connected? Or is this going to be new?

I wasn't able to get it to work with a Poe wireless bridge. But our network eng was setting up a vlan at the same time and we were having problems with that.

No, they are not. This is a sore spot with me. I worked with tech support a long time and they finally told me it's NOT supported in AP mode, only router mode. I ended up hanging an old AP off the DMZ of my firewall port for guest access and use the AC66U as my main AP for the wireless devices in the home. Other than that, the device seems decent enough. I have a USB hard drive hanging off it to share DLNA stuff, but also do this via GoogleTV box too. Lots of options these days.

Hi Anne, This is a Modem only. It has no inherent router/wireless capabilities. It has a port for the Coaxial cable and another port, Ethernet, to plug in the Cable from your router. Normally, your router will have a special ethernet port for the wire to the modem and 4 other ethernet ports. I have this modem for over a year now and it has been pretty reliable, only dropping the connection when Comcast burps. Good Luck Jim

You probably do not have a router if it only has one port, you may be talking about the modem. you should invest in a router which will add more ports to your modem first. this product does not add additional ports, it simply connects to 1 existing port. once it is connected and plugged into a power outlet, it converts it to a signal that will run through your home's power lines. this is where the second unit comes into play. when you plug in the second unit it will grab the signal and convert it again so that it will be usable with your Ethernet enabled device.
