Does this Item allow for active network testing??

I am not sure what you are checking Adam. I is great at toning out a wire you are trying to seek. BUT, two out of two the main controller burned out on me within the first 45 minutes of use. I use the toner with other devices and it works great. I would not recommend you buy it.

Not really. This is for basic testing of the physical wiring only. You especially don't want to plug this into an active PBX.

While it does test Cat5 cables, it does not test for activity on the network.

Yes! There's nothing really "fancy" about the connection. It just plain "hooks up" and switches between whichever computer is active.

I am using it in a mixed Mac/Windows home network. It's been a long time since i set it up, but as I recall, I got it to connect without resorting to running the Windows program.I did run the program on a Windows box later just to see what it did, but don't believe I needed it for initial setup.

Not with the default stock firmware from ASUS. You could flash it with third party firmware like Tomato, then the router will provide a list of websites visited and keywords searched, if enabled.

Yes, i have it set on my network via standard hard wire (RJ 45) and scan to the network drives regularly

Sorry but no, this unit will only connect to the network via a wireless connection. The LAN ports on the unit are access ports for clients not network ports.

Yes it does, but you don't need it. I checked in DHCP for whatever IP the device got and used a browser to connect.

I haven't tried creating a new network using one of these, but I run it to a switch which then connects to several devices without any problems.

No, you can test through a patch panel, but a switch is looking for packet info and isn't a straight through path on the cables.

Yes. You can use any browser to control the sockets. That's how I see what's going on when I'm at work.

I am going to say neither, because it is designed to only connect your network via wired or wireless. The unit has USB port to allow you to take normal usb devices such as drives and scanner and share them over your network. It isn't made to accept incoming wireless signal from a computer and grant access to the network.

I have no way to test it, but I really dont think it goes both ways. Best way to tell is chat with them online through http://www.startech.com/Good luck

Yes, as long you select the port COM in your program.Am using it with OPENCPN and have done accuracy test with less than a meter as result.

You are correct. The exception is if your router has an HPNA coax connection. Many ATT Uverse modem/routers have this built in.

It can function as a DHCP client. But if you wish your network to perform under DHCP you will still need a DHCP server. On my networks I use the firewall appliance as the DHCP server.

Thanks... we might just use something like powerline networking. Thanks for the example!

Thanks for the link. Interesting. I'm just going to have to get the WET and test it. I find it intriguing that when in DHCP mode the devices plugged into it were assigned the same IP. That would point towards the WET doing NAT. If you just want to give your media center devices connectivity (so that they can access your network and the internet) that won't matter. But if you want to contact your media center devices from elsewhere on the network it could be a problem.But everything's so ambiguous in the stuff I've seen online I think the only way to know for sure is to buy it and try it out.
