Is it possible to use this device to connect to a wifi router that has more than 1 Ethernet slot to run a POS system. I am mobile in a food trailer?

The Netgear Universal N300 is meant to attach one device that is not wireless, but has a Ethernet port, to LAN wireless network. You attach an Ethernet cable from your device that is not wireless to the Netgear Universal N300. The Netgeat Universal N300 will talk to your wifi router. Making your device wireless, but only to your LAN network. I hope this helps.

I have one connected to a Netgear switch(GS605NA) and it works flawlessly. It will potentially run slowly(if all ports are in use) at times.

Hi Gene,Utilizing this item as a Universal Repeater should accomplish the task you have mentioned. Keep in mind, it will only extend WiFi signal, it will not make the connection "faster". Hope this helps (and I've enjoyed this product).K.O.

Sure, I don't see why not. For all intents and purposes it's just two more network ports. I'm using mine in an ESXI box.

This is solely used to connect devices that only take Ethernet cables to a wireless network. So you would need a wireless network set up for this device to connect to.

This is the wrong product for that. This device takes the network connection from the router and allows you to port it to any other location in your house. This has noting to do with wifi.

Yes. I am using it to push POE to an Ubiquity access point. However, POE is not enabled by default. You have to log into the switch management software and enable POE on whatever port your device is plugged in to.

I would say no as it needs a USB to connect also I know with mine there were drivers to make it work. You could however hook it to your shop computer if you have one to receive from the router I think maybe for what you're looking to do you may want to check out the WIFI antenna at Heartland Amnerica I have no knowledge of the product but you can probably review cust's opinions on it

Yes, I think you can. Its a external AP but works as a client too. You just have to configure it as Client.

No it cannot run two devices at the same time . When you plug in a 2nd device it will shut down ethernet to both devices .

You need to decide how you'll use it, as an 'extender' or an Ethernet port. It will 'talk' to the router in both modes (no hard connection). As an extender, any device within range will detect and be able to use it.

I had the same question, when you connect it as directed you can be LAN (USB) and it will also produce a wifi signal for those devices. It does both or either one as needed. Mine was bought used and works great.

I plug it into an Asus expander with a short Ethernet cable which grabs a stronger signal from my Wifi router and it now works great. So you do not have to be near a jack and can move it around.

It is my understanding that it CAN be used as an access point, but you'd have to install Arch Linux and the necessary software. You'd also need a USB wi-fi dongle that operates under linux (they don't all work). So before you go down that road make sure that you have all of the parts that will work together --- and that the tine and effort (not to mention the costs) are worth it. As a hobby, OK. But to replace a $20 access point?

I would not recommend this wifi Access Point for home use, it requires a controller to be installed on one pc in order to configure and manage the AP. This is not a router though.

The device has to be connected with a cable (The unit does not have integrated WIFI tech) but you could connect it to a Wifi device eg apple airport extreme...

Yes you can. I use it to wirelessly connect a tv/bd player but anything with an ethernet connection can be connected.

Yes. I am currently doing just that. Keep in mind though, it is not a WiFi router. You have to plug an Ethernet cable into it or plug an access point in it for WiFi.
