No you need an RJ45 or Ethernet cable to do what you want. This is your standard type phone connection.

no. you need an ethernet cable. this is a telephone cable to use in either a telephone or a fax modem (the old kind that no one uses anymore)

Not unless you have a router with an extra port on it you can plug this into.

If your computer doesn't have built-in wireless, then yes, that's what this is for. You would hook up this to your ethernet jack on the back of your computer using a CAT5 cable. And then this device would wirelessly connect to your Internet router or modem to give you wireless access on your computer.

Nope. It has built-in WiFi and will connect directly to your router. Works well.

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

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?

you can try a usb to ethernet converted, but since your usb ports will barely work on this laptop, it probably won't work.

I would assume so. This device is essentially acting like a switch on the network. Once its connected, anything you plug into it should pull an address from the DHCP service. Although if they're already accessible wirelessly, why buy this?

Probably not. I went to dsl a few years ago and this laptop works great with my router and when we are traveling it will automatically detect available wifi.

No, this adapter is for the purpose of connecting a computer to the internet with a wire. It is intended for those computers that do not have a wired ethernet adapter.

You need to plug it in and configure the unit to connect with your router (fairly simple) but my experience is that these units do not work that well. I returned mine. Good luck!

Probably. If the wall connection is HDMI you would not be able to connect it there. If the connection is an ethernet connection (looks like a large phone plug) you would be able to. Instead of connecting it to the computer you would connect it to the router and setup a secure connection between the router and the laptop.

If you have a wireless router or wireless router/modem combo then yes, you should be able to use this. If you do not, you will also need a wireless router.

As long as you can connect an ethernet/lan cable from your router/modem to the device, yes.

Hello Yes, this would work just fine for a direct connection to a laptop. If you try it and it doesn't work, the unit may be defective or DOA.

Yes you connect a cable from your router to any port on the 5 port switch and it acts like a splitter for the internet, then you can connect other devices to the 5 port switch and have internet access.

If you can get your computer to output audio through a BlueTooth peripheral, then the answer is yes. But it has nothing to do with your router. This thing is a BLUETOOTH adapter (it says so in the name). It won't connect to your router because it's not a network device.
