Try the ethernet with any laptop, if it works then it should give you the wifi with this device ;p
1699605
yes you can configure it as a repeater or a bridge so that it will give you a wireless signal of the same network or you can use it in router mode and you can share the internet and set uo a new network
1699606
Yes. You can connect cable to ethernet port and connect to mini router, and have it broadcast that internet signal wirelessly. Will require setup of wireless access. Instructions were included and fairly easy to follow. Just find the set for setting the device up as a wireless router, not bridge or repeater.

I have yet to get mine to work properly and that probably is not the fault of the product, but the technical support is not very good.

Yes, if you have a working Ethernet cable, just plug it in and you can have WiFi in your office.

Hi,My best guess it should work since it replicates a lan port from two different points. I hope this helpsD

I had the same question, and so far from exeriments the answer seems to be no. Specifically if you set it up as a wireless client, it will act as a hub rebroadcasting wireless (on a new SSID) to other wireless clients, but it doesn't allow access from a 'wired client' connected to the ethernet socket.. (Which is a shame). Wonder if this might be fixable with a firmware upgrade? Would make the box even more useful...

Hi Peter, This device can act as Wireless Ethernet Client, and in many cases there are more than just one Ethernet device that needs to be connected back to the wireless network. That's when the bonus LAN port comes in place. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate contacting ZyXEL's US-Based Technical support at 1.800.255.4101 Option# 5.

It does have 2 Ethernet ports and both should be functional. Yours could have a faulty port. Have you tried connecting to your network with each port individually to confirm both ports are working? You may have a problem if you are trying to put different subnet masks in the two adapters. To do this in a computer you need to create trace routs for the adapters, and I don't think this NAS has that ability.

This is used to connect to ethernet cable so that the device can access the internet. It is not used for your purpose.

I'm sorry, but I dont use the ethernet; I use it wireless. I hope you find the answer your looking for. Regards.

If you only need one Ethernet port, and most of us do, as we are not running servers, this will work and will give you "gigabit" Ethernet capability. I do not know if Windows will configure two ports to run at the same time without using a server OS.

There is an Ethernet port on the bottom but from what I understand is that will only boost your wifi signal more, not turn an outlet into Ethernet. Someone else may know more about this, though.

It should work for that. However, Ethernet is way faster (~5x) than wireless.

You wouldn't want to do that. Most likely your WiFi is a router and firewall, you want to hook up all of your pc's , laptops into the router/firewall so you are protected. If your WiFi is not a router/firewall with wireless, you may want to invest in one, and that will get you four ports for ethernet connections that are secure, as well as providing a wireless connection. Plus, this connector I have found does not work on the equipment that I use.good luck.

This device connects via usb port on yr pc. It doesnt connect via Ethernet if thats what ur asking. One option of having Power over internet use is buy using an Alfa r36 wifi repeart/Router : Alfa R36 802.11 b/g/N Repeater and Range Extender for AWUS036H " which could be gotten here. With this device you could use ethernet aswell.

As far as I know, it should. Just run a hard line from the primary router to one of the LAN ports on this unit. Also make sure to shut off DHCP and set the ip address of the unit manually. Also setting the units to use different channels will make using your devices a bit easier. If you're setting this up at home, consider unchecking ip isolation on both units. That shoud get you done.

From my experience this would need a LAN cable or a USB Stick to be able to produce a wifi signal. I will try to check for you in the coming days and will let you know

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.

The device has an ethernet connection. You can optionally buy an add-on (part # AS-WL300) to have wifi.

yes, there is one ethernet port on the device for putting it on your network. the wifi access point needs to be connected to some other switch or router that's already on the network.
