For me, when I connect it a the hotel's wired network connection, creates a wifi hotspot that I then connect all my devices to, much like your wireless network at home. I find it more reliable than using the hotel's wifi and can control my personal security much easier.

That's what it's designed to so. Just connect it to your wifi network and plug it in to the other computer and off you go. I you only need to connect one computer there are other, smaller options such as wireless network adapters which connect via USB but this will also work and can support multiple devices.

And the overseas question is easy. Just get a USB adapter for whatever type of wall socket they use in your destination country. Many hotel rooms provide USB sockets, making even this unnecessary.

The only way I can think of (right now) is to set up this iTach inside your local area network (make it work at home, by learning your AC ir commands, etc). After that, create a vpn (with a good vpn capable router) and connect from where ever you are through your VPN using your phone (or tablet, pc, mac, etc) to your home network and lauch which ever app you are using along with the iTach. (you not only need this hardware, you will also need a software to control it, there are a few decent free softwares out there... google it). But IT IS POSSIBLE, just get that VPN running and you are done...

I had the same question, when you connect it as directed you can be LAN (USB) and it will also produce a wifi signal for those devices. It does both or either one as needed. Mine was bought used and works great.

I returned mine since the wifi connection didn't work. You can connect to the hotel wifi. the radio will recognize the wifi and ask for the password which the hotel will provide to you. just check it out at home first to make sure there is no problem internally with connecting to wifi. we are in Europe now and using my iPhone to get radio stations all over the world. we connect to the wifi in the apartment or hotel we are staying in.

Magicjack plus just came out. You can plug it into the wall and then connect it to the ethernet and it will work when the computer is off.

In the described situation this would not work as a wireless repeater because of the poor quality signal. If there was a wired connection in the room you could use this to convert that to a strong wireless signal. There aren't any products that will help you correct poor signal strength at a hotel. The only options that exist are connecting via a wired connection if offered by the hotel, relocating closer to their wireless access point or connecting via an air card or hotspot that uses a 3g or 4g cellular connection.

I connected mine to the ethernet port in my sons room, which is on the 2nd floor of our house. He now has his xbox and laptop connected directly to it and it extends our network over a larger area than the router in the basement can.

Hi. I don't use this on a regular basis, having bought it only as a back-up in case our electricity goes down and we cannot use our wireless router. However, I believe that what I did was plug the USB part into my laptop, one end of the phone cord into the adapter, and the other end of the phone cord into our telephone wall jack. It came with a relatively short cord; I replaced that with a longer one so that it could reach the wall.

You could always use a crossover cable/ethernet cable (really think crossover but it has been awhile since I did it) from laptop to xbox. Then bridge the network connection between the two devices (that is as simple, at least with windows, as clicking your on the wireless connection and ethernet connection and right clicking and choosing bridge connection) within the network so it would be using the device through the computer still but allow your xbox to utilize the antenna.

Hi,I am using a NET GEAR power LIne wireless access port WGX102, that I bought at Best Buy for $89.Works great.One unit plugs into the wall near my router and plugs into that via a ethernet wire. The second unit is plugged in near the player with an ethernet cable plugged into that. Took a few minutes to work but it did. I am sure there are other methods to connect via wireless connection, but not even the people at the Sony store were able to help. Any kind of wireless bridge should do the trick.

I think it is possible, yes, but as someone mentioned you would have to go through doing a reset, then set up at each location. It isn't as simple as a plug and play. Now for travel perhaps a product call "Almond" would be an easier option. It has easy set up, a touch screen, I don't think it is quite as powerful as the amped wireless [I have both] but it does a great job, as I said it is much easier set up for travel

If the hotel has wifi you don't need a wireless router. This is used to create a wireless connection from a wired earthnet connection.

I've done that with a laptop. I've configured the wifi extender and just connected the laptop through an eth cable. It worked automatically after that.

You don't need this to logon any a hotel.I never got mine to work with my AT&T; portable data module.Thanks when I switch to Verizon and there Jet Pack, works, problem solved.

The answer is yes. I use mine when traveling. I wifi my hotel room and sometimes conference rooms. I run my phone, laptop and nook at the same time. It comes with a network cable and power adapter. Plug it in and your device will"see" the router, enter the password and your connected.
