Can i plug this into an ethernet jack in my house and create another wireless network this way, without amplifying the current wireless from the route

Simple answer is yes. You can give it another SID (network name) and password.
636731
Yes that is exactly what you can do. Actually Access Points are designed just for this purpose vs. Wireless repeaters. Hope it works for you the 2 I bought worked great and have a "guest" account you can enable as well.

Yes that is how this unit works. It will create a new WIFI network with its own SSID and password.

In my house this piece created a new wifi address that works simultaneously with the original wifi. In some parts of our house one or the other address is stronger.

If I understand your question, you're asking whether you can add another wifi access point to your existing Poweline set up. If so, then yes--that's exactly what I did. In my original set up I put the wifi unit in my home office. Coverage in the master bedroom was poor so I bought another 2 unit kit and plugged the wifi unit from it into a receptacle in the bedroom. It installed exactly like the first one did. No problems at all. The only negative is that I have an unused unit (the one that connects to the router) sitting in a drawer. Oh well, guess it's a spare...

Yes, if you configure it properly. Sounds like you would use the 'client' mode which makes the D-Link act as a wireless connection point for a wired Ethernet device.

Why would you want to do that? That would defeat the purpose and design of this system. This is strictly an independent wireless stand alone unit. You will be happy with it as is. Good luck.

It needs to be run via a pc as it users drivers (either resident in your os or on the supplied mini-cd). You would require a second dongle with a high gain omni to re-broadcast the signal, so this isn't a cheap option and you would be better off with a high gain wireless router to share your connection (unless of course it isn't your connection you are trying to share/re-broadcast ;-) )

Yes, as long as your MAIN Wireless router has these options. It can be done manually through the software router set-up.

Raymond,As far as I know, you can use the third AP at another location that is not apart of your network. You will need to download the software/controller on a pc tied to the new network you are creating.

Need to elaborate a little bit. I can only assume that you have Ethernet cable, usually call Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable. If yes, you shouldn't have any problems connecting this and make it as a bridge wifi router, I assumed? if not, this device won't do any good for your need until you rewired with the right type of cable + connector.

Yes. By trying to use both you are creating an Ethernet loop. Ethernet is a point to point technology. Your router sees the same MAC address on two different links

The Actiontec 500 Mbps is not a wireless extender by it self. However since you plugged one end of the Ethernet cable into the larger adapter you can plug the other end of the same Ethernet cable into a different wireless router (instead of the Ethernet port of a network device such as a PC or a ROKU) if you want to improve your WiFi performance. Like I stated I found the hard wired solution much superior than any improved WiFi solution can provide, unless you have more than four devices spread across in multiple rooms that Ethernet cable can not easily reach.

Yes. I am currently doing just that. Keep in mind though, it is not a WiFi router. You have to plug an Ethernet cable into it or plug an access point in it for WiFi.

I know you can connect an Ethernet cable to the second device, and then whatever you connect to the Ethernet cable (in my case, a phone using a network) can be used.

I had the same question, and so far from exeriments the answer seems to be no. Specifically if you set it up as a wireless client, it will act as a hub rebroadcasting wireless (on a new SSID) to other wireless clients, but it doesn't allow access from a 'wired client' connected to the ethernet socket.. (Which is a shame). Wonder if this might be fixable with a firmware upgrade? Would make the box even more useful...

This device is meant to work in tandem with an existing wireless router. It does not replace the need for a separate WiFi router. This is not the solution for you.

The way I used it was I plugged it into the wall at the far far end of my house and then attached a second router to broadcast a second wifi network. Because PowerLine is basically ethernet through your power outlets and doesn't broadcast a wireless network by itself.

So would I be able to connect this to a wired router and connect mutiple devices to it?

I was just about to post the same question. I really don't want to run an ethernet line over to the player. I've looked at wireless access points but they're not much cheaper than a full blown router. I'm starting to think I'll end up with another wireless router (with 4 or more ports) to use as a bridge to my existing wireless lan. I just really don't want to spend upwards of $100 just to get bdlive.
