Yes, you can connect the squeezebox touch or classic to your computer with an ethernet cable. For a direct connection, you might need a "crossover" cable.

Your microwave oven and your cell phone are far greater risks than a home WiFi.

To create my wifi, I have:Modem -> wireless router -> Powerline.If I remember correctly, I had trouble running the router from the Powerline and creating a wifi signal.In my back office (extended by the Powerline), I have a wireless router plugged into the Powerline. The router is successfully splitting the signal into two ethernet cables, but I don't have wireless here. This could be because the router hasn't been logged into the wireless. I apologize, but my it's over my networking skills.

There is something to understand here. I love my Kindle, it has about zero radiation when the wireless or 3G function is turned OFF. Do you understand? Why use a Kindle with the wireless function on? There is no need once you download your book. So this product would not be necessary in any way for a Kindle. If you are using the wireless function on the Kindle, this pad would block the radiation on the backside of it, but do absolutely nothing for the wireless signal shooting out the sides and front. Hope this helps.

In this case Ethernet is referred to the internet connection, this computer does not have a WiFi card so you have to plug it to get internet access using a Ethernet cable, Google Ethernet cable to see an image you may have one. Normally you will plug it to the modem or router or the wall depending where you have your Ethernet connection. If you want a WiFi connection you will have to buy a WiFi adapter, they are not expensive.

internet is required ONLY IF you want to use the wifi capabilities of the thermostat.Functionally everything can be done manually from the unit without wifi.With wifi though, you significantly enhance the convenience capabilities.

I'm not sure if you mean internet or ethernet. This is a router and uses either a WiFi signal or a CAT5 ethernet to create a hotspot for your devices with NAT. It will not act as a larger antenna to bring in WiFi where there is no WiFi. If there is WiFi nearby that your devices are not seeing, look for a wireless antenna such as Radio Labs.

It is best to plug directly into outlet. Using a extension cord will cause a slower speed. Unlike a WiFi modem this unit uses the electrical wiring in your house/business to transmit the signal so less connections and the larger wiring use from the outlets to the panel make for a faster and cleaner connection. Hope this helps.

If I'm reading your question correctly you need a wifi router or a hot spot piece. You can not cord connect it to the internet. Hope this helps.

I believe you can. There is a browser on it. But we do not use it for Internet.

This is the response of the area that uses the wands..."We use the cord to connect the wand to the laptop for viewing images. I was under the impression the WiFi only worked if you downloaded the app on your phone (which we have used). I could be wrong, but I didn't think the WiFi worked any other way other than the phone app."

Yes- You can connect using WiFi so you can use it anywhere you have access to wireless so you do not have to be connected to ethernetThanks!Shamly

I believe so. I use WIFI so I never really needed the cord. I can double check though.

Yes, you can use the device without an Internet connection. We had to use it that way for over a week. The 2 things that it effects are the channel guide, and updates to the system. You can load updates to a USB drive from your computer, and then transfer it to the device.

This is not a network product, sure it can work without internet, this is a plug and play system. Only need the internet if you want to remote viewing, thanks.

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

if your computer can communicate IP over WiFi, then you should have no problem. This is the same as connecting to a home router. All it does is extend the range of your current router, you don't need to do anything to your computer, just connect to the internet through your router as you did before, using the same SSID and password ( if necessary). This device will allow you to do this further away from your router than you used to do.

Wifi is for the gps to get weather, gas prices & other features. Navigation works without wifi. You can use home networks or public ones such as at McDonalds. If there's a map update, then you use the provided USB cord & computer. Bottom line: if you never connect it to wifi, it would still work, but you'd miss out on the features that make it different from other models.
