Can this be used in a multilocation wireless setup as a 3 way? want to add addl switch location to a fixture that currently doesn't have wiring to it.

No. It's basically a dumb switch. It sends a pulse to the primary via the traveler wire of a traditional three way set up and the main switch works the light. It needs the traveler,neutral and ground.

This is not a stand alone switch. It must be wired into the circuit containing the fixture to be controlled (i.e. traveler, neutral and ground).

Yes, you can place the switch in that position. But know that if you do, you are creating a DMZ area that is outside of your routed space. In other words, any devices you attach to the switch in this configuration (not below the router) will get their service from the modem, not the router. This will be ok if your ISP is willing for you to get more than a single DHCP (IP Address). It is far more common to place the switch after the router where the router can NAT all traffic into a single IP address.

No, this fixture is meant to be direct wired. That could also be a problem if these lights are wired in a series. The knock-outs are too small to fit 2 wires (one in and one out to the next light.

No. This will not work in a 3 way switch application. Also requires a neutral.

I've never done that. I've only installed this in a room with a very distant single box, wanting to put the switch nearer the door. That said, I don't see any reason you couldn't install it in a 3-gang box with a decorator plate. It would be worth a try (keeping all packaging, receipts, etc. in case you need to return it).

Yes, I have a similar configuration now. You'll need one non-poe port to hook to the router which will be your uplink. Then, you can use the extra non-poe ports for whatever you want.

I picked up one of these for $5 from the egg-heads to try to use as a wireless bridge. From what I can tell, it has a proprietary repeater mode that only works if you have multiple N150 routers. I do not see a way to use this as a bridge to another type of router.

Yes, but it defeats the three way operation. Instructions are included in the box. If you know how to read a wiring diagram you can figure it out. Otherwise you should call an electrician. I have replaced one of my three way switches and it works, but as mentioned the three way feature is defeated (think about it - you don't want another switch in the 3-way to turn off your timer!).

Raymond,As far as I know, you can use the third AP at another location that is not apart of your network. You will need to download the software/controller on a pc tied to the new network you are creating.

It will not work with a standard 3 way switch. You need to replace each 3-way with one of these. I used one of these and a 2334 Keypad dimmer switch. Either one can control the load, and the two devices are linked together. Be sure you have a neutral wire at each switch location. If it does not exist you should be able to use the existing 3 conductor cable to provide this.

No, you cannot use this in a 3-way switch and keep the functionality of the other switch. You could use it with the other 3-way switch, but you'd have to always keep that switch in one certain position. I'd suggest doing some Bing searches on how 3-way switches work.It would be possible to re-wire it, and remove the other switch.

Yes it is. I have installed over a 100 of these units without any problems. You should have 4 switchable POE ports and one non-POE port for up link to your network. Make sure all switches are in the power on mode for each port and you should be good to go. If not, request a return for new product.

I have never tried this but doubt it. You need to go modem > router > switch. I don't see any reason to go with what you are suggesting.

I have not actually attempted this, but my feeling is that you could do this. By default, the first interface is the 'WAN' port and the other four are basically slaved to the switch chip inside. The wireless interface (wlan1) is bridged to the master port on the switch chip, ether2. As I've said before, these are quite capable little devices; but the documentation on them is terrible.

Yes, because it is a 3-way switch. I have my wired in such a circuit, and it works perfectly.

You can use this switch in an installation with only 2 wires. I have used a few of these devices over many years. While they are very handy, to me they seem to be fragile and sometimes die during/after a storm. I like them because they work in a normal wall box. Allen

Let me preface by saying I am not an electrician, but I am fairly certain that you may use the RF switch without using the other 3-way dimmer in the package. The system should work fine with any standard 3-way switch system. I didn't need the extra either, but it was so easy to change, I used it as well. Hope this helps.
