Can anyone tell me if this will successfully connect my (Netgear) ROUTER (upstairs) to my CABLE MODEM (basement).

In theory, yes. Assuming that your wiring is on the same circuit and the powerline units are able to effectively send and receive the signal...you can use them as the intermediary between your router and cable modem.

I never try to connect my router to the power line adaptor but the principal is the same. This device is like an extension from your cable modem physical ports. You can connect anything on one of this devices if the other is connected to a modem my only concer is the lost of speed. This is not perfect. I got 50Mb services and i only get half os the speed on my TV, the distance and interferences has to do with this. Good luck.

It can in theory. There must be technical issues they haven't solved. I got it to work with outlets 20 feet apart. The next room, it could barely make a connection. Try it if you want but be ready to return it. My advice, a basic ethernet cable if you can do it.

I didn't have a great experience with this device, and was unable to connect -anything- to it. But... it sounds like what you're actually looking for is a buddy who can do a good job wiring a connection between your two devices. There's no reason you should have to use a wireless connection between your cable modem and your wifi router. Doing so is likely to slow down whatever broadband speed you're getting, unless you're subscribing to such a low tier that you won't notice the difference anyway.Running a single cable drop isn't a terribly complicated job to do, and is very inexpensive. It's much less expensive than buying equipment like this, unless you have to pay someone to do it. I didn't have a great experience with this device, and was unable to connect -anything- to it.

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.

I tried to use it with Charter cable to connect to my router, it did not work. I was told it has to do with the signal frequency being different.

This will work with any modem / router. Just connect this to your modem / router with an Ethernet cable and you're good to go.I use it with my Verizon Fios Wireless Router. The Verizon wireless is downstairs and this is upstairs. Having two wireless networks in the house is a blessing. If one network has heavy traffic we switch to the other.

You have to have a cable modem separately regardless of which router you choose. But yes, it will work fine once you have the appropriate cable modem (probably a docsis 3.0 compliant modem.)

Unfortunately, we have a wireless router in the basement.. thus the house is essentially wireless. What would you recommend in that case?

I think it should work. I did use it as an ethernet jacl for my computer with comcast cable on the router in the 2nd floor.

Do you plug this in next to the router or move it to another room? My router is upstairs but I need it too work in the downstairs bedroom and hopefully basement.

I am not sure. I know it works connecting my router to my net gear Neo Tv streamer player.

Personally, I haven't had any problem at all. I have my router in the other room and it connects just fine. I can't really give you an answer, because I have not experienced that kind of problem. Hope you figure it out. Good luck

Sorry. this question is beyond my level of expertise and experience. I recommend that you phone the NetGear people since this is where their expertise lies. They have been very helpful for me, a non expert router user.

It should work because you have to drill mounting holes to match the base plate of the router you are using.

Yes, that is one of the design functions. Connect the cable modem to the coax cable at the wall, then use a CAT 5 or 5E cable to connect to the router.

I have used the Netgear for almost 2 months and it works as if connected by cat5e all the way. Have not yet BUT plan to buy more ifI get around to getting tv off internet.

Yes - I would go cable modem to wireless router then from router to switch all with an ethernet cable. This is how I have it setup on my network.

I have a cable modem but google it or get the online instructions, they should let you know.

Mark: The modem you refer to is at my summer home and here I use a cable modem so I may not be able to walk you through the process. You need to open the modem up and look for the "bridge mode". Set it to that and it should pass everything over to the router and if I remember correctly you have to set the router to PPoE and set the user name and password. Hope this helps and good luck. Dale
