Could I connect this to my wireless router to detect my HOA wireless? I'm not stealing it and I pay HOA dues. But I'm on my computer all day at work and when at home only occasionally on the internet and would like to drop my service and connect to my...

The short answer is yes, but you may need an adaptor depending on what connector is on your access point or wifi adapter. I have used this antenna to connect a wireless router to a distant access point and it works very well.

These aren't routers, just access points. Use any cheap old wireless router and just turn off the wireless and connect one of these (data side) the router. This is what I do. I don't use POE on mine but it should look like: Injector --> AP-->Router--> Modem.

Well I have a linksys wireless router plugged into the modem. The modem does NOT send out a wireless signal it is just a cable internet modem so if you don't have a wireless router you won't be able to connect with the modem unless you plug an Ethernet cable into it.

I would not buy this one. I replaced mine with a TP-Link router and it is a way better router and really easy to connect to. I left feed back on the one I bought to.Have a nice dayTed

Yes, if you want wireless access to your network from other devices. This does not replace your router or modem. As someone else pointed out, you do need two MoCA adaptors (see reviews for options, you don't need two of these specific ones). However, if you have FiOS (or POSSIBLY other cable internet) your provider's router is already the other MoCA adaptor theta you need.

Yes, it will allow you to connect your desktop to a wireless router. That is what it is for. It is "dual" band because now routers sometimes come as dual band routers and you can then connect to either band. Of course, it will not give you "free" internet service where none is available. If the RV park has internet service that you have to pay for, you will still have to pay for it ... but at least this adapter will allow you to get the wireless service.

Aye this is essentially a wireless router only. You'll have to purchase the wireless adaptor seperately. I think they make one that pairs with this one particularly, but any wireless adaptor should be fine.

May also be able to use a network cable to plug into your router. I would just plug it it in to the network to see what happens. How do you currently have it connected? Or is this going to be new?

1. Yes, you can (and should) password protect your connection. This router offers WPA/WPA2 encryption, which is what you should use, NOT WEP encryption - WEP is completely insecure these days. This router also offers MAC address filtering, which allows you to select (by MAC address) what wireless devices are (or are not) allowed on your network. You can set one password to protect your WPA/WPA2 encrypted wireless, and that's really all you need. Just make sure it's not a weak password (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols, the more characters the better), and it will be uncrackable for all intents and purposes. 2. Theoretically, most wireless devices can support up to 255 devices, but that's completely impractical. Average home use shouldn't be a problem though, I'd be more concerned with making sure your internet connection is fast enough for all the devices to share. 3. I haven't noticed that yet. Technically, anything that operates on the 2.4Ghz range (cordless phones, microwaves) can interfere, and large metal items (ie, filing cabinets) can interfere with any wireless signal though. Wireless-N has a very good range though. At my workplace, we use G, and have almost 10 WAPs to provide coverage throughout the whole building. While working on a laptop with a wireless-N card, I noticed that it picked up most of the access points, as well as a couple of signals from outside the building! Hope that helps, I'll be happy to answer any more questions.

that's more of a complex issue, You would probably have better luck renewing your connection lease on your router on an interval. best of luck.

Hello - I find using this device very sporadic .. meaning my wifi kicks out every single day.. if I am away from unit say 100 feet - I am NOT very happy at all with the performance - BUT I say this .. not knowing if it is in fact our main router - although I did have another much less expensive device that I used (Securifi Almond-Touchscreen Wireless Router extender) and that worked so well .. but it was not meant for the outdoors. I wish I had done a bit more investigating .. for the money spent .. I am not happy ..sorry ..

I would not recommend this wifi Access Point for home use, it requires a controller to be installed on one pc in order to configure and manage the AP. This is not a router though.

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.

The short answer is yes. If your DSL service came with a wireless router already, you will need to talk to your provider about disabling it before hooking this up.

wifi isnt free, if you paid for it you would know :) ok if it really is yours then its your WEP key or your WPA key that you setup

Thanks for the timely response Tyler! Where do I find the MAC address to give to skyhook? Their website says I need the wireless radio MAC address, and any MAC address I typed in to the "map it" field comes up as unable to locate, including the MAC address on the bottom of the router. Thanks in advance,Brittany

It connects to your wireless router, not your computer directly. The environment that your equipment is in highly affects the distance that it needs to be to the wireless router. Check out the following link: http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/wirelessproducts/f/wifirange.htm
