Questions questions questions: Will it automatically connect to my work and home networks without re-entering access details?

Thanks Mike, will have to wait for an official details from Netgear website, on the Netgear website only shows: What about security? Skype uses secure and encrypted communication so nobody's able to listen in. The NETGEAR Skype WiFi Phone is designed to deploy Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) for WiFi security. What wireless standard is used? The wireless mobile phone is WiFi compatible 802.11g, and is backwards compatible with 802.11b.

I do believe you can go into the settings and set it up manually. I did mine with the button on my modem. It finds it automatically and all I had to do was put my network password in.

Yes. Just don't plug it up to a switch on the network or else you'll have an additional IP to worry about.

Yes. It is possible to set up your computer to connect to your router automatically after you restart your computer.

It will only require your password if it is a locked network. You may want to check out your router to see if that is secured.

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.

If your question is can I wirelessly communicate to my network and home router?, "yes."

My son (IT guy) installed the router for me so he could answer that. But I can tell you that it does offer the capability to turn it off and on from your computer as the router admin. I control the wi-fi access. I bought this router to put in a vacation home I rent out. I live next door to this rental, so I am always able to use the internet, but I can control from my house if the guests can use the wi-fi or not by simply clicking on the icon on my desktop, and clicking "Enable" or "Disable". It's very simple. I am not an IT person, and once he installed the router, and showed me how to control access to the wi-fi, I have not had any issues. So yes, you can turn off the wi-fi, but as far as I know, you do it through your computer.

I think you can choose what network it connects too when it is connected to your computer. I'm not 100% sure on that though. Once you do get it to connect to your network, it will always connect to that one.

Yes it will do what you want only problem if you go to multiple locations you would always have to enter the web interface to change the wireless access information, other than that it is basically great for what you need it to do. I did email the developer to upgrade the firmware so that it could store multiple ssid to auto connect to whatever is in range so far no reply.

Yes. I use mine to verify that certain employees are present and on site. Very dependable and somewhat easy to setup on my wireless router. UPnP is the easiest.

Since it plugs into your router, it is as secure as your network. Also, there is a login with a password for the device through your remote access, like your phone or tablet. It's worked flawlessly since I got it a year ago.

Yep...I use WPA2 and it never has any connectivity trouble. It isn't fun typing in a complex pass code, but I've only had to do it once. I use an AirPort Extreme access point. (Previous generation)

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

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

I got the x7500 setup pretty easly but there where some changes in the network settings. Mine was stolen so I can tell you the settings I changed right now but I think it was one of them set to Auto.

Yes (sort of). Depending on the exact model number (and there are a number of variations available in the marketplace) you can in fact create a guest network that will NOT allow "intranet" access or access to the main internal wired & wireless networks established. Asus has a listing of the models that come equiped with this feature. Mine has it.
