Can this router be connected to the internet via variety of internet interfaces, e.g. USB wireless dongle, ethernet cables to ADSL modem, etc?

Yes, I run three internet connections off mine: cable, dsl, and 3G USB wireless. I have automatic fallback if primary fails, then if both fail, it falls back to 3G. When services come back, it connects back.

Yes. Buy this thing you will never look back, I have three of them and it is the only router I am going to buy from here forward. each port can be configured for LAN or WAN interfaces. You can plug multiple wireless dongles into the thing. You can prioritize each connection. Share bandwidth between connections. place data limits on each dongle. AND Cradle Point keeps their firmware current to ensure the compatible devices cover the market and are pretty up to date. I have noticed once a new device is released cradle point adds it to their supported device list within a month or two.

Yes. Multiple connection points. I am using a cell modem (no cable or DSL available in my area) and it works great.

There is one WAN port built in, and the 4 LAN ports can also be switched to accept WAN and up to 3 USB modems.

NO. I bought a USB Linksys DUAL BAND AE2500 Then it kept 'cutting out' SO I hooked up to the EtherNet port in the back. Works better (faster, Obviously).

No, this is a DSL router only. You would need to buy a cable internet router.

Yes you can, you can turn any wired modem or router into a wireless device. You also use it to extend your wireless reach (signal repeater).

No, you can connect the unit directly to a standard router or switch - hub. This will link both network environments.

yes. just plug the HardDrive or USB stick to the USB port on the router and turn file sharing on from configuration

Yes -- it can be set up with WiFi connection (wireless), ethernet (wired network connection), or USB.
1432954
Yes, it will. Once it's connected to the existing router (as a booster/extender), you can then connect an Ethernet cable from it to another device that you would like to have internet access.

I'm not really sure what your question is. The unit comes with a built in Wi-Fi connection or you can buy a ethernet to USB adapter and connected to the Internet that way. I hope that answers your question.

Yes, it can be connected to either a switch or router port as long as it is a PoE (Power over Ethernet) port. In fact, in my house I have AP321's deployed in each case to Cisco layer2 switch and a Cisco ISR router.

Yes, it can connect through a standard Ethernet wired connection, WiFi and USB.

Greetings, This device is a basic soho ethernet switch, so assuming the router is configured to offer IP Addresses to other ethernet devices, then simple answer is yes. _In general_ you can plug your ethernet cable from your router in to the switch, and then plug in other ethernet devices. Non simple answer, your router is most likely setup to issue IP Addresses to the other devices via DHCP, so when you plug in the router first it will be listening for other devices which may requests an IP Addresse. So when you plug in the other ethernet devices they _most likely_ request an IP Address and the router issues an appropriate IP address (with DHCP) so all the equipment can operate to the internet through the router. There was a lot more I could have included, but that is the general model. I hope this information assists you.

you would need a usb to Ethernet adapter and a multi usb adapter to connect to the internet .

You can't do that, you need two separate plugins on a router to do that. If your modem only has one ethernet plug, you will need to get a router to provide for more devices.

No. This modem has (1) Ethernet port. If you wish to connect an additional device to it, you must use a switch or router to add additional Ethernet ports.

This laptop has 3 usb ports, 1 hdmi port, 1 RJ-45 port, and 1 serial port. And yes, it can accessa router for internet access.

I have never tried this but doubt it. You need to go modem > router > switch. I don't see any reason to go with what you are suggesting.
