This device takes the place of a wireless card (if your computer has a card, or you do not use wireless, you do not need this adapter). Use a vacant USB port and then follow the onscreen steps. You will need to press and hold a startup buttonand (probably) reboot your wireless router to get a link. The reset and link steps may need to be repeatedfor any automatic updates/restarts that you have scheduled for your computer. Customer service/supportfor this device is pretty crappy.

This wireless adapter is used when any of your desktop and/or laptop computers in your work or home do not have a built-in wireless adapter already installed(most all new computers have them) and they are not able to be plugged directly into your router via a Ethernet cable. In my case for example: I have 2 desktop computers - 1 for my office & 1 for the kids school work also in the same room. I also have 3 laptops that my wife, daughter & I use throughout the house. I had a net gear wireless router in my office and since both desktops don't have a wireless Bluetooth adapter in them, I had both plugged directly into the router via Ethernet cables. This allowed both desktops to have internet & printer capability(printer has wireless adapter) as well as our laptops which communicated to the same router wirelessly since all 3 have wireless adapters built in. I then switched internet services and went to AT&T uverse (big mistake) service. They brought out new router but signal was so weak that I had them hook it up in our family room so we could get service in back of our house. Now I had 2 desktops that I would've needed approx 70-80ft of cable run up into attic, down wall & into router which was totally out of the question. That is where this wireless net gear adapter fits in. Now instead of running cables, I plug this into one of the USB ports on the desktop and walla! It now can wirelessly connect to my remote router again as if it was wired in as before! This was quite the long way around in explaining why & how you would use this but hopefully it helps you understand the reason for it being on the market for folks to purchase.

If you check the Time Warner Cable modem compatibility list. NetGear CG3000D has to be hardware Version 2. Otherwise, it may not work.

I am not an expert concerning routers, however I found the WNDR4000 N750 to be weaker than my old Belkin so I returned the Netgear and continued to use my Belkin.

But you could use a WiFi to Ethernet adapter like the Netgear WNCE3001 but at that point you would be better off just spending the extra $20 for the BDPS3200 which has WiFi built in.

I don't honestly know. People, like Kim Komando podcast and electronics show, do say to stay with the same maker. You could try calling Netgear they have been helpful to me with questions about updating router in the past.

You have to download a "beta" driver from Netgear, but the Beta driver works great for my Windows 8.1 systems.. The drivers on my CD were for only Windows 7. The download process was easy.

Sorry Josh, I can't help you. My Netgear N900 is broken a long time and I don't understand by computer....

Aye this is essentially a wireless router only. You'll have to purchase the wireless adaptor seperately. I think they make one that pairs with this one particularly, but any wireless adaptor should be fine.

you can use this model as a repeater for your existing router, its called ddwrt, its a firmware update that you download to the router you want to use as the range extender(repeater)

A wireless modem, basically has a wireless router built in so there isn't a need for a seperate wireless router to have Wi-Fi. I don't see why you couldn't use this with your wireless modem. You basically turn your wireless modem into a regular modem by disabling the Wi-Fi and enable it on the Netgear Router. I use a comcast modem (not wireless) with this router - works fine.

I don't know, but I have a Netgear wireless router, and it works fine with that.

If you have netgear N300 press the button wps ... however your main router must have the button too in order to send a signal that is received when you press your wps button...In other words one is the pitcher and your netgear is the catcher...

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.

I use the Netgear Wireless N300 with a D-Link DAP-2553 wireless access point.

I'm not sure what you mean by "compatible", basically these units do the same thing i.e. they're DSL modems, with the N300 having the added function of establishing a WIFI access point capability (B,G and N). Also the N300 has 4 wired network ports for added connectivity if required. They should work side by side, but obviously only one will be the DSL router at any time

May also be able to use a network cable to plug into your router. I would just plug it it in to the network to see what happens. How do you currently have it connected? Or is this going to be new?
