Can I Use the second power line adapter, to connect a wireless router, instead of buying the wireless adapter.?, because i have 3 useless routers.

You have to use the smaller one to connect to your router and the second one you plug somewhere else and have a 4 port switch ready to use.

I have two adapters in use. Most wall outlets have only two plugs. The adapters are easy to use and deliver a consistent signal that allows for live streaming of HD video. I would say yes, as long as your electrical system can support the load.

I assume that you could if you know how to properly cascade your routers. You would have to use the second router as a wireless access point.

As long as you connect the wireless router to the D-Link Powerline Adapter and plug the adapter to the AV outlet, you can have as many as you want to extend the home network within the house via AV power line outlets. If you need more than two adapters, you have to buy one more or many D-Link products.

Yes. But again you need a minimum of two. One hooked up to your router and another wherever you want to use it. Also make sure you don't plug the product to a power surge protector.

I just read Alex P.'s answer and that sounds like a better way to go. I didn't know they had a powerline adapter kit that allows for a wireless hub on the receiving end.

Let me make sure I have what you want to do correct. You want to get a second 4 port switch only and use it together with the one you have and use it from one single powerline adapter. This can work if you are using the second switch in the same room as the current one and you use one of the ports from the first switch to then pass through to the second switch. The effect of that would mean you only have six ports useable for wired equipment. If it's to go into a second room then you would need another powerline adapter and the switch. Hope this helps if not let me know more info on the exact setup you are creating. Let me make sure I have what you want to do correct.

No, your router have internal antenas I recomend to you to use the ASUS (EA-N66) Dual Band N450 Ultra-Fast Wireless 3-In-1 (AP, Repeater, Ethernet Adapter) Adapter With High-Power and you can use it as a repeter. I love the product, if you are goin to buy it read the instructions from asus website.

To be totally honest...have no idea. Wish I could have been more helpful. But I'm def going to be buying a more powerful one as the netgear one that I have isn't doing the job as I have way tooooo many wireless "things" working off that one router, even with the extender, still no good. Not sure which one I'm getting. 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

There are two ways to connect - ethernet wire to your router (best way) or use a ethernet powerline connection. I ordered the Linksys powerline for $114 and literally plugged it in and it works. It uses your existing electrical outlet to transmit the signal and lost not speed from my cable modem. If you use a traditional wifi it can be limited on speed and transmission can be choppy.

Each would have to be connected with network cabling to an adapter that's plugged into an electrical outlet. And a network cable would need to be run from your router to another adapter plugged into another electrical outlet in your house.

I agree! Linksys powerline adapter-I have them in use in 3 rooms-maintains signal -very reliable.

Yes, if you want wireless access to your network from other devices. This does not replace your router or modem. As someone else pointed out, you do need two MoCA adaptors (see reviews for options, you don't need two of these specific ones). However, if you have FiOS (or POSSIBLY other cable internet) your provider's router is already the other MoCA adaptor theta you need.

Sorta. One adapter connects your modem/router to the A/C outlet. Then you plug in the second, third, fourth adapter where ever you need to in another A/C outlet. With two ethernet ports in each outlet, you can connect whatever devices you need. There is no need to "amplify" the signal, since the signal is traveling acrtoss your homes wiring, basically, a direct, ethernet connection.

J-Dee,Chris Geiser, Product Line Manager for NETGEAR here. These devices will work to solve you're problem. Just think of the adapters like a long Ethernet cable. You'll connect Switch #2 to the adapter in Room B and connect the adapter in Room A directly to the router.

Absolutely yes, I have that setup in my house now. Just a tip, use the second router as just an access point. Don't let the second router assign local IP addresses. I followed the instructions in this link http://www.tested.com/tech/298-how-to-use-an-old-router-to-expand-your-wi-fi-network/

I believe not. You still need a router if you want to connect multiple devices in your home network. Your power line does not have routing capabilities. Good luck.

You can only use this as a repeater if you already have an Ubiquity access point that is wired. Then you can add another as a repeater (up to 4 wireless). This will NOT work to extend (repeat) from another brand of wireless router or access point. It will only repeat another Ubiquity access point signal. On a brighter note this has such amazing coverage you may not need a repeater anymore. If you do I would recommend that you buy 2 of these plug one into your wired network then use the second one to repeat the signal (its called wireless uplink).
