Do I have to run a cable from my internet router or modem to the t.v. in order for it to work?

You don't have to run an ethernet cable to your Roku, - But you can if you choose to. It also works withwireless internet. I prefer to run an ethernet cable from my router because the signal where I live is betterwith the cable as opposed to fighting the prime times of wireless use in my neighborhood.This model allows for an ethernet input. Most of newer models of Roku are wireless only. Look at what the model offers as far as connectivity before you choose. But, you can't go wrong with a Roku. They are robust and reliable.

The only cable you need to run is to your tv from the Roku. It connects to your router wirelessly using built in wi-fi.

If your asking can you hook a wireless router to this the answer is yes. You have to connect the unit to your TV with a HDMI cable. You can also run an Ethernet cable from your modem to the unit if you do not have a router. I have all 3 of my units connected to my wireless router.

You need a modem to feed into the router. Then your computer and game systems are wired to the router.

Modem is required only if you're connecting to the internet. If you're connecting just to other computer(s), you don't need a modem. This router will connect to any network-ready wired ir wirwless device(s).

Depends if your cable modem has a usb port, but I'd guess it wouldn't work. Usually a router is something that has a usb port for something like this. This would allow you to plug a drive into it and then be able to access it from computers on your network: http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-WNR3500L-Open-Source-WNR3500Lv2-Processor/dp/B002RYYZZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428902380&sr=8-1&keywords=WNR3500L

Yes; it has a connection marked "modem" to run to your cable modem. You can then run an Ethernet cable to your computer if you desire a wired connection or simply use it wirelessly. I use it both ways. This is an excellent, easy to set up modem.

No, you don't. Connection can be wireless if your cable provider has you set up with a wireless modum, or similar set up.

Yes, this just indicates that it needs an incoming connection. You should have a modem from your internet company, that would plug in to the back of the router.

Angela, The wiring should go: from the wall the coax cable will plug into your cable company (ie comcast) Modem which comes out ethernet and plugs into this device. From there it goes wireless to your phone, laptop, tablet, etc or it could also have wired ethernet coming out and going to your TP-Link powerline plugs, your Wii, your Roku, etc.

You must have a cable box to use this tv. A router would not work either . This is a transmit and receive System. It must have a video input for the transmitter.

No. This is a router. The cable modem receives the data from your ISP " Internet Service Provider" & sends it to your router "Dir-665." Your router then connects via wi-fi or ethernet ports to your devises such as laptops, tablets, wi-fi enabled smart phones ect. and acts as a high speed traffic control center allowing all those devices to connect to the internet.

Yes among other things. You will also need to hook your modem up to a wireless router. This little thing enables you to receive an internet signal from the wireless router.

I had to contact my internet provider (TWC) and give them information off the modem so that their system would recognize it. I imagine you would have to do that with your provider also.

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

Yes, whatever you have hooked up now should work. The connection to the T.V is a simple HDMI cable.

Hi Jasmine, what you are referring to must be the credentials of your wi-fi router. It doesn't have anything to do with the cable modem.

You shouldn't need that...here is how I have mine connected.- I have a Comcast cable modem.- I connect my Airport wireless router directly to the cable modem.- I do have hard wired ethernet to connect this switch to my Airport Express (I have cabling running between my office and living room).- I then have the switch tucked behind my TV (connected via Ethernet).- Then, all of my devices are plugged directly into this switch - TV, Denon A/V home theater, Xbox, Tivo.I believe your Roku should be connected directly to your TV via HDMI or composite/audio cable combination. Hope that helps!

Yes, my solution was to return the Adapter and run a Cat6 Ethernet cable from the router down through the cellar to the livingroom and up the wall to my TV. Vierra Link works fine now !! Ended up saving money with a little more work. Plus it's always connected.
