This model doesn't have WiFi. Check their product chart for which models have which features; I don't have the model names all memorzied so...Also adding on a WiFi version will only produce a WiFi signal from that unit. It won't transform these here into WiFi versions.However, at the time I bought these they were the best wired solution available. I have four in my home for my non-wireless devices. For that purpose I'm still happy with them years later.

I would by another brand, mine keep disconnecting and when streaming video through them they continually cut out. I had another brand before, that were a little slower, but they never had any issues. The bandwidth on them was just not fast enough. I would return these if I could.

I never try to connect my router to the power line adaptor but the principal is the same. This device is like an extension from your cable modem physical ports. You can connect anything on one of this devices if the other is connected to a modem my only concer is the lost of speed. This is not perfect. I got 50Mb services and i only get half os the speed on my TV, the distance and interferences has to do with this. Good luck.

Let's see if I completely understand your question. The base powerline adapter is connected directly to your modem, all other remote powerline adapters are connected over your home powerlines to the base adapter. You could put your wireless router on a remote powerline adapter and it would be like you were hardwired to your modem. That is exactly what I have in my home. I put a wireless router upstairs for better coverage of the entire house. My incoming modem is in the basement. Is that what you would like to do?

Yes, I bought it for this exact reason since my stereo receiver upstairs in my loft required an Ethernet connection. The wifi is really weak upstairs in my house so I also attached a wireless access point to one of the ports and now my loft has 3 hard wired connections and wireless coverage. They work very well too! You will need more than one to make it work though. They sell them in kits. This is just for one.

The way I used it was I plugged it into the wall at the far far end of my house and then attached a second router to broadcast a second wifi network. Because PowerLine is basically ethernet through your power outlets and doesn't broadcast a wireless network by itself.

Christopher: We have a residence with a guest house, and although we receive one electric bill, the guest house has a separate circuit breaker panel. So when I read "Outlets must be electrically connected in order for Powerline devices to provide a network connection between them..." on the Netgear site, that means that one Powerline adapter in the main house won't "talk" to the Powerline adapter in the guest house, right? Does Netgear provide any product work-around for the property configuration I describe?

This wireless adapter works in conjunction with a Belkin Wi-Fi Router. There are different models, and I have owned a couple. I actually use the Belkin N750, which covers the whole house and the yard, with no interference. I suggest that the router power be disconnected at night, first to avoid others to use your signal for free (if they can break into the security), and second, so you don't have those waves in your house while you sleep. Belkin is very good in customer and technical services, so I've been covered very well in all aspects. Besides, when you purchase through Amazon, you are assured that returns and exchanges are very smooth. Be safe and be blessed.

The TP Link works as an extender to your [already] existing WiFi connection. In other words, you not only need the modem to generate the connection; you'll also need a router to disperse the connection wirelessly. Finally, the extender takes the wireless connection from your router, which in turn takes its connection from the modem, and moreover expands the WiFi in areas of your home that before weren't penetrable by the router's range alone.Hope that helps.

It seems your original question has been answered. Just wanted to mention that if you go with the range extender, make sure that somewhere in the room you place it gets decent signal strength. The extender needs to show 2 bars at least to make a decent connection, otherwise the WiFi it provides will be poor. Another option you may want to consider it the TP-Link TL-WPA4220Kit. It will provide for wired connections and also serve as a range extender, but not be limited to the range of your current WiFi signal.

I am currently useing the Pluglink Ethernet Adapter and I HAVE AT&T; DSL. I am not sure why they are not working for you. I am sure you are utilizing it correctly but mine worked by connecting an Ethernet cable directly out of the AT&T; WiFi modem to one of the Pluglinks that is plugged into the wall. Then another Ethernet cable is plugged into an additional Pluglink in another room, that goes directly to the computer.

One simple and relatively inexpensive way to "wire" your entire house with ethernet capability is to purchase a Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter (I got mine at a Big Box with blue and yellow logo :) ). The plug in adapter is connected to an available port on your router, then plugs into a wall electrical outlet. The "sister" adapter is then placed in the other area of the house where you need ethernet capability. The two adapters "find" each other in a few seconds, and you are up and running. I moved my wireless route from my desktop computer to the movie room so I could have a good connection near my AV equipment. I put the "sister" adapter where the router used to reside (at my main desktop computer). Truly wired throughout the house now. The unit uses the existing electrical wiring in your house to tranmsit. Works flawlessly for me at 100mbps. Netgear is the manufacturer. Good luck

Hi BMcDuffey. Yes, you may use more than one Powerline device and install them in different rooms. Just make sure that it will be on the same electrical circuit with that one being used by the router. This link may help, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=a756fad972844152aed7d597dab70e5c_17193.xml&pid=80&respid=0&snid=2&dispid=0&cpage=search

What it does is place your internet signal on the electrical lines in your place. The remote plug has an ethernet connection which you can connect directly to an ethernet port on a device. There is nothing preventing that "ethernet device" from being another Wi-Fi Access Point. Connect that ethernet cable from the remote plug to a Wireless Access Point's WAN (incoming) port and that should work as an extender. Granted you would have to buy and configure a 2nd Wireless Adapter... You might consider something like Hootoo HT-WR01.

A power line connection system will allow you to connect via wired connection anywhere in your house that has an electrical plug in. You can use this in conjunction with a wireless access point by connecting the current router with a power line connector, then connecting the wireless access point with the other side of the power line connector in the weak area of your house.

No. Powerline adapters are for wired access. What will help is a wireless extender. A variety is available on Amazon.

Yes, you can have two kits (4 power line units) to work with your router. With one unit plugs into the wall power outlet and Ethernet cable connects to your router. Three other units in a different rooms also plugging in wall power outlet and connect to other computer, laptop etc... through Ethernet cables or wireless if your units supported wireless. You can use the default security setup or your own security by following factory recommendation.

According to Dish data,(tech.dishnetwork.com and serch for "home networking") only one HomePlug-to-Ethernet adapter is needed. The router is connected to the home plug and the ViP722 power cord is directly pluged into the AC plug. See reference above for more descriptive info.
