Will this work with wifi signal alone or does it have to be plugged in to the internet modem/router?

The unit is wired to the router. It has an "in" and "out" connection for the CAT 5 router cable

The Phone Power IF-ITVV-CFFY Phone Power Broadband Telephone Service box uses a single cable to connect to the Router, and it is not a wireless device. It provides extremely reliable service for my business to talk with customers around the world. The quality of service depends heavily upon the quality of the service provided by your ISP.

Hi Angela:I can only give my own experience. The box where you plug the phone in has two Ethernet jacks. When I first set up the system I had one of the jacks connected to one of the Ethernet jacks on my Wifi router which is plugged into a modem that provides internet connection. This was not very reliable so I call Phonepower and they said to plug the phone box directly into the modem and plug the Wifi router into the phone box and this has worked pretty much without any problems. The phone box itself has no Wifi connection unless they have boxes that are different from what I have.Thanks, Jerry Hi Angela:I can only give my own experience.

It must have internet access to a modem via a router or switch. I have mine connected to a switch which is connected to a router which in turn is connected to the modem.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

Unable to answer your question. What I can tell you is that a friend installed it for me. My application was a detached garage apartment, made of cynder block. I would not get a signal from the main house wifi. This unit was installed on the top level of the garage.. and the signal is strong, and doesnt quit.

I didnt read this but its a pretty educated guess, It needs a plug, and if you want wireless you Add a wireless router.

No, it will pick up the WiFi signal, amplify it and resend it. However, I am not satisfied with this product. It did not solve my weak signal problem and then I couldn't get it to make a connection at all. Both Netgear support and my router mfg. support said it is the others problem. I now have it disconnected and remain with very poor and weak WiFi signal 80 feet away from the router.

Kinda yes. It does not need wifi signal coming in, which is good. The base station adapter connects to your router by Cat 5, and plugs in the 110v wall plug. The "extender", which is a bad name, can then go anywhere in your house, and gets the internet signal through the 110v plug. Then broadcasts its own Wifi signal along with two Cat5 ports if you need those.

By default it needs to be plugged in. I think there are wireless dongles for it also.

Yes you will also need a wireless router that connects to this modem and pushes out your wireless internet signal.

It is not a WiFi modem. It links by an Ethernet cable to a completely separate WiFi router (which I already had). As a cable modem I have found that it works very well; it was very easy to set up using the CD installation disk which came in the box with the modem.

This will work as a stand alone connection to your wireless router. It will not work in conjunction with your existing internal wifi card. I would suggest getting a external antenna for your wifi card that is already built into your PC to utilize that connection with your router. If you can't find or get an antenna for it, purchasing this would be your best bet. Just know that it will not work with your already existing internal card, but will be it's own connection to the router.

If You Are On The Internet You Have A Modem Connect The Modem To The Router

Kit comes with 2 adapters. You plug one adapter to your modem or DSL box using Ethernet cable. The other connects with any internet device you want. So if it's a router, that should give out wifi. I wanted to get the scenario correct. I hope that helps.

This will work with any modem / router. Just connect this to your modem / router with an Ethernet cable and you're good to go. I use it with my Verizon Fios Wireless Router. The Verizon wireless is downstairs and this is upstairs. Having two wireless networks in the house is a blessing. If one network has heavy traffic we switch to the other.

Yes, it works great. You must have a wieless internet, unless your modem is close to connect directly.

Yes it works plugged into the router as long as the router settings include the ports you should leave open.

The unit has a USB WiFi adapter installed. You can connect wireless to a modem/router. Thanks.. Ezbuycafe

This just emits a wireless signal. The modem is normally what you need to worry about being compatible. Based off that fact, yes it is.
