Can this be used as a router or does it just receive a signal?

There was no software with it for use as a router. It is an adapter that both sends & receives signals so in theory the computer it's connected to could serve as router with the proper software. I saw another questions answer that mentioned the "Internet connection sharing" feature in Windows that will allows sharing a broadband connection but I suspect you need a networking knowledgeable person to look at your specific requirements.

You can use it as a client or access point. It can be set as a repeater via was. But that will only work with the m5 line of ubiquity equipment.

Yes it needs to be wired to a router, if it is a wireless router then you will see it over the network.

It's not going to work as access point but TP link has another small unit which has access point capability , signal enhancer and router all in one and cost wise is heap also and I am using that perfectly

Can this router be used to connected a wired device to the wireless network? I have e a tv that is only wired and I would to use this router as a bridge to pull down the wireless signal and transfer them to an Ethernet port. Thank you.

Yes, you can use it as a wifi router only - the internal hard drive is optional. You won't be sorry with the speed of this - it's excellent!!

You can use this router as a wireless access point. I have one of these routers connected to my main router in wireless repeater mode to get stronger signal in another part of my house. I also have three computers connected to the same wireless repeater via Ethernet so that I do not have to have wireless adapters for each of them to connect to my wireless network.

Can't help you with that one. I use it to simple send a stronger signal to a router in another building and it works good.

No, it's not really a router. One piece connects via ethernet cable to your modem, and the smaller piece can plug into any wall socket. The smaller piece is supposed to generate a WiFi signal, allegedly increasing your WiFi range. I didn't have good results with it. A good router works much better for increasing signal range.

Yes.....I already did it. It is just the way I'm using it. I configured it to repeat the signal of another router, via LAN cable, and it was the only way to have signal in the other side of my house. The I did the same thing with a $15 NEXXT router and I think it results with better signal. The main router is a Linksys-G 2.4 GHz.....this is the best of all. Thanks for your att.

I don't know. It uses an ethernet input, however, so it may work since I would assume the router is just a passthrough.

This is a router, it transmits the signal that the modem is feeding into it. If you are suggesting that it is a range extender for an existing wireless router/modem combo unit, no

I doubt it will work through a router or a switch. It is only good directly connected from the device to a computer. Look for a Cirago

Kind of an odd question, No. The idea behind an extender is that it sits in another room or area or a different floor, but can communicated with the router to "extend" the routers signal. Best of Luck!

You can use it as a wifi repeater or broadcast WiFi using an ethernet connection or a mobile usb dongle. You can also use it as a wifi nas server. Hope this answers your question.

Neither. It is a receiver of the signal from a router to provide a wireless connection.

I believe you can if the router supports certain features that allow this to work without too much trouble. Don't remember what they're called at the moment. However, I'd highly suggest you just disable the WiFi in your router. The signal produced by these is excellent and they do support hosting the same WiFi name and it works great.
