Does this unit plug into a router which then assigns the IP address or does this unit assign the IP address.

The unit plugs into your existing internet service via your router. Ideally, you'll collaborate with all your neighbors using everyone's internet service, each plugged into an Open Mesh transmitter- ideally there's some diversity in ISPs -to create a robust neighborhood WiFi mesh. I used two units, one in my house, the other in the gatehouse to provide an extended WiFi zone around my house and yard. Very pleased.

You can isolate the clients that are connected too the ap and the dhcp is from the router

This unit acts like a switch. The router assigns an address to the switch. It is plug and play. You access the switch through a Web page and not a internal IP address. But you can also monitor it and control it from anywhere

This unit is a router and it connects to the Comcast Modem. I believe this unit assigns the IP addresses. The unit works of a cloud controller called "Cloudtrax". This is an excellent interface for monitoring your network and works very easy. I went from 6 of these units in 2013 to 20 units in 2014 since they worked so well in 2013.

It can work either way. Because of the mesh system, it necessarily assigns it's own IP addresses. You can't override this. But it will work on either a system without dhcp or with. We use it plugged into a linksys wrt54g.Highly recommended. We have three of them. Much better than six of the old model.

Greetings, This device is a basic soho ethernet switch, so assuming the router is configured to offer IP Addresses to other ethernet devices, then simple answer is yes. _In general_ you can plug your ethernet cable from your router in to the switch, and then plug in other ethernet devices. Non simple answer, your router is most likely setup to issue IP Addresses to the other devices via DHCP, so when you plug in the router first it will be listening for other devices which may requests an IP Addresse. So when you plug in the other ethernet devices they _most likely_ request an IP Address and the router issues an appropriate IP address (with DHCP) so all the equipment can operate to the internet through the router. There was a lot more I could have included, but that is the general model. I hope this information assists you.

For a home network it's pretty much plug-n-play. You will have to reboot your computers after you put the router onto the network because it will assign different IP addresses (192.168.88.0 I think... I forget) but it should just start up and run. It's only when you start doing port forwarding, special outbound blocking, etc. that it can get tricky.

You'll need to be more specific, but this is not a router a router will take your internet connection and share it, it has whats called built in DHCP which basically hands out IP addresses on a subnetwork to allow your PC's to talk. The router in turn gets your internets IP adress, typically you only get one so you have to share it with many computers in your home. A switch merely splits the router it doesn't hand out ip address on its own. Think of it like a surge protector getting power and sharing it with others, then another power strip that is also connected to the surge protector, with out that first surge protector the other would have no power of its own. Not the best analogy but i hope it helps. If this is not your exact issue please post more details.

Yes, just be sure to give them separate names, like "MyNet-East" and "MyNet-West". I have two of these and set them to static IP addresses in a range not assigned by my router's DHCP host so I can always get at them to check status, update firmware, and so on.

Don't know where you are in the basic setup, but be aware after you plug the new router into the Internet link and your network, you may well have to set your machine's IP address to one that matches the one automatically selected by the router. The router manual should tell you the default IP address for the router. Based on that, be sure your network settings for your network adapter card are set to match the router's subnet. So, if the router has picked itself an internal IP address of 192.168.0.1, for example, you will need to be sure your computer IP address is 192.168.0.x, where x is a number from 2 to 254. When this is done you should be able to use your browser to connect to the router. If all else fails, call DSL support and they should be able to help pretty quickly once you connect to them.

very involved answer. I don't recall if the DSL modem defaults to 192.168.1.1 or what. The bottom line is you have to put the DSL modem on it's own subnet (192.168.1.1) and the router on another subnet (192.168.2.1) or vice versus. The router should find the DSL modem as a device and configure itself accordingly...to get to the internet. I tried this DSL modem and it failed on me several times in a week of use. So I sent it back. Even tried two of them - same results.

I have this unit connected to my Time Warner cable internet service. The output from this unit is connected to the input of my router.My LinkSYS Voip phone adapter is connected to my router. My phones are connected to my LinkSYS phone adapter, using CallCentricphone service. It works fine.

The connection the a computer is only required during the setup process. After the unit is connected to the network it works as a stand alone network device like your router. It just needs to be connected to a power outlet in a location where the signal strength from the router is at least 70%.

Yes to all your questions.But you have to setup dynamic DNS on the device , so when power goes out it will notify the Internet, that the IP address has changed. I use dyndns.org.

It doesn't have a DHCP server (nor does it make sense for it to have on since it is intended to be assigned one by your DHCP server, typically your router). That said you could assign a static IP to the server and your PC, you won't need a router for that configuration (that is how I used to configure my network before home routers became cheap and ubitquitous).

You can assign a static IP on your devices manually. Just make sure it's within the IP range of the router.

It will communicate with your Router wiressly, you just need to follow the setup guide.

i do not know, i had some help setting mine up. we knew where the router was.

I can't exactly answer that. You have me wondering that also now. Mine is connected to the original modem my ISP prided me. So it goes from wall to the modem, then it plugs into my NETGEAR, then in to my PC. I bought this to replace the basic model my ISP provides, but didn't actually do away with the router. I'll have to try. Works fine with this set up. Much better then the basic "Comtrend model " they provided.

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

Yes - you configure the LAN interface IP as part of your setup. You don't have to use the default 192.168.1.x address it's set with out of the box.
