Can I use this to connect to another computer wireslessly on a home network?

Yes , if you set up a wireless home network that's password protected - you should be able to see any other computer on the home network. Refer to your wires router for setup instructions.
613522
Yes, as long as both computers are on the same network they should be able to share.

If I understand your question, it can be set up with a direct to connect to your computer instead. If you want to access it through a wireless computer that is also easy to do.

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

Yes. If you are at all tech savvy, you can hook this up to your home network and then open the port on your router so that you can access this drive from the internet. I haven't done this yet myself but I do know it is possible. Search the web or some forums for ways to access your home network remotely.

No sorry it can't be used that way , I bought one thinking it could as well. These are good for just linking computers or printers together.

you can but you do need a small router. the splitter cables plugs into the router and the router output connects to the network. that's my setup and it has been working fine for months.( $10 -$15 bucks router}

No - I tried this. It will act as a wireless bridge, but it only appears to bridge between another device over wi-fi, not through ethernet. I suspect they did not want to put in the extra effort to convert packets from ethernet to wi-fi and back.

No. This will provide a computer with a wireless (WiFi) connection to a wireless router or access point.

No, this will not do what you need. If you want to connect a hard drive to your network without using a computer, you will need a device called a NAS, or "Network Attached Storage" - it's basically an external case that connects via ethernet instead of USB.

No. This device is for connecting ethernet-only devices to a Wi-Fi network. What you need is a Wi-Fi router.

Yes. I am using it for TV box but the same idea applies. It bridges using a wireless connection so any device near it can use a wire ethernet connection. You set it up, plug it in. Setup is very easy and simple. Anyone can do it. Just follow the instructions and find out what your home network address space is. (i.e. 192.168.x.2, network mask is 255.255.255.0) name your bridge 192.168.x.2. You should reserve the address space of 192.168.x.1-10 for your routers.

if your computer can communicate IP over WiFi, then you should have no problem. This is the same as connecting to a home router. All it does is extend the range of your current router, you don't need to do anything to your computer, just connect to the internet through your router as you did before, using the same SSID and password ( if necessary). This device will allow you to do this further away from your router than you used to do.

This is the wrong product for that. This device takes the network connection from the router and allows you to port it to any other location in your house. This has noting to do with wifi.

You can connect either by wire or wireless from Apples. Just remember it's for connection to ADSL, not cable. You can still use it without having ADSL in your house or whatever. You configure it with a web browser if you have a non-MSWindows computer. I didn't try setting it up initially from a wireless connection, but it might work.

No, you can connect the unit directly to a standard router or switch - hub. This will link both network environments.

Im not sure about this. but you can try. maybe a wireless usb hub can help you accomplish the job

yes, this is how I am using it too. I have two wired computers on the WD switch which then connects to a wired port on the wireless router. All work fine.
