Do you have to buy an adapter to use wifi with this right out of the box, or does it easily hook up without using a ethernet/adapter line?

It is internet ready. You just need to authenticate via the network key and you are set.

This unit needs power. It comes with a adapter that you can plug into a local 120v outlet or you can run ethernet to it and use POE (Power over Ethernet). Either way there will be at least one cable running to it. It is wireless capable so you can use the wireless router for the ethernet connection.

I have Wifi. I returned this product and bought a used microsoft adapter that worked flawlessly right out of the box.

Well you need to install the disc on to a computer. There you will connect the Wifi Bridge to your network. Once done you plug up the Ethernet to your device. You do not need the power adapter the USB plug can power the Wifi Bridge. Both have to be plugged up to work.

It is not equipped with a wireless adapter. You can connect it via Ethernet or purchase a wireless adapter.

WiFi is not native. It requires an optional wifi kit. The kit is wifi only. There is no Ethernet connection.

I'm not really sure what your question is. The unit comes with a built in Wi-Fi connection or you can buy a ethernet to USB adapter and connected to the Internet that way. I hope that answers your question.

P.O.E. Power Over Ethernet. It comes WITH the adapter! You will use the unit in BRIDGE mode.

The receiver has only a wired Ethernet port, but there are two ways to not have to run an Ethernet cable all the way to the router. You can easily buy a cheap wifi bridge that would plug into the Ethernet port and provide an antenna to connect to your wireless network with no drivers needed (Many cheap/used wifi routers can also be put into bridge mode to serve the same purpose). I am using powerline networking to carry the network from the router into the nearest power outlet, and then out of the power outlet by the home entertainment cabinet to a switch that serves all components that need Internet.

There are two ways to connect - ethernet wire to your router (best way) or use a ethernet powerline connection. I ordered the Linksys powerline for $114 and literally plugged it in and it works. It uses your existing electrical outlet to transmit the signal and lost not speed from my cable modem. If you use a traditional wifi it can be limited on speed and transmission can be choppy.

Just plug in the included wifi adapter and connect to your router. Very easy.

There is an Ethernet connection socket on the back. It isn't wireless (it's a desktop unit). Having said that, I bought/installed a USB wireless network adapter on the 2 units bought due to difficulties in running cable.

Its ok lol, the wifi adapter comes pre-installed on the motherboard. All you need to do is run the included wires from the WiFi adapter to the antennas (also included). It has everything you need to make the computer wirelessly compatible. Of course you'll need your home wifi network to connect to, but that's it! Both the Wifi and the motherboard work wonderfully. I've been very happy with mine.

You just have to connect adapter to your network and the other adapter to the device you want to have an internet connection. No other setup is required.

Yes, you can connect to a WIFI network with the included USB wireless LAN adapter, which is plugged into the back of the machine (an extension cord for the adapter is also included with the system). If WIFI matters to you, check with a seller to be sure the adapter is included. For an internet connection, you can also plug in an ethernet cord for a wired connection that may be faster and more reliable depending on the WIFI signal strength.

No adapter needed..I connected it directly to my cable modem. Easy to set up and it has works perfectly.The only draw-back is the range is roughly 50 feet.
