Can it be lined out directly to a router or booster using an ethernet cable?

I personally have it set up wireless through my router; but the instruction book states that you can use an USB-Ethernet adaptor and plug it into the USB port in the back of the unit. If you get it, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Apparently you can provided you get theTU2-ET100 adaptor. I just bought one of these and no matter what I do the unit won't recognise the adaptor plugged into it. The unit is great otherwise and wifi results are good.

lt has 1 USB port, so I assume if you had an Ethernet/USB adapter, it would work.

I can't answer your question. A friend set the radio up using wifi only, no cables. I guess that would be lined out directly to a router.

I think you mean modem, or modem-router combination product. It's possible but not nearly as well. The cable provider is supposed to get an acceptable signal level to your premises then this booster should be put on the line at that point, before any further splits in the cable so that your signal to noise ratio stays high instead of just picking up the noise then amplifying it too. In other words this product is only meant for two specific situations, VERY long cable runs (&gt; hundreds of feet) or a high # of splitters on the line. If neither of these situations are present then you may just need the cable co to verify their signal strength is at an acceptable level and that your on-site cabling, connectors, and splitters are in good condition. Many used years ago were poor quality and some even pot metal casing ground that oxidizes and becomes a poor electrical connection, as well as bare copper conductor that oxidizes over time.

No, it won't. It is an alternative to WIFI or Ethernet.Instead of connecting an ethernet wire between two spots, this permits you to use a coaxial cable.

The receiver has only a wired Ethernet port, but there are two ways to not have to run an Ethernet cable all the way to the router. You can easily buy a cheap wifi bridge that would plug into the Ethernet port and provide an antenna to connect to your wireless network with no drivers needed (Many cheap/used wifi routers can also be put into bridge mode to serve the same purpose). I am using powerline networking to carry the network from the router into the nearest power outlet, and then out of the power outlet by the home entertainment cabinet to a switch that serves all components that need Internet.

Yes. You will need to go through a brief setup to get the ethernet connection working.

Yes works very. You plug in the Ethernet cable and power adpater to power and router or switch. Then run a ethernet cable to unit left side bottom i think and this powers up the unit

Yes, so long as you have an open gigabit Ethernet port open in the back, which you'll have to plug directly into

Yes, if you configure it properly. Sounds like you would use the 'client' mode which makes the D-Link act as a wireless connection point for a wired Ethernet device.

Yes - I would go cable modem to wireless router then from router to switch all with an ethernet cable. This is how I have it setup on my network.

No. This device is for connecting ethernet-only devices to a Wi-Fi network. What you need is a Wi-Fi router.

Yes. I did this downstairs with a second adapter to switch Ethernet to multiple devices. The first one upstairs gets Ethernet directly from my router.

You could if you wanted to; the upstream router would get none of the Skydog functionality. You would just need an Ethernet cable, nothing special.

Yes you can, it took me couple days and many hours to find that out, here is the video how to make it Bridge mode. Remember to connect it with the Ethernet cable while you are doing the set up. Be patient and enjoy this extender from an affordable Price. Good luck to you...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA9QhjjTP2o&app;=desktop

Yes; however, it depends on the orientation of the plug. In my case, the ground is on top so I had to invert the adapter with the Ethernet cable plugging in from the top. I had to get creative but it is doable.

If you use a Crossover, then you'll need a crossover on the other end as well. it runs over cat6 but is not being transferred as Ethernet. On each end the pin order must match.

No, it does NOT have to be hard-wired. Is is standalone, amplifies, and relays the amplified signal. Make sure you place this wifi range booster so that the signal it receives from your wireless router is at least 70% signal strength or better--as the instructions indicate.

Yes and no. The beam-width of the signal isn't wide enough to cover a large area. You can configure it as an AP and cover a wedge of area. It isn't as simple as connecting the ethernet cable, you have to configure the device.
