does this router enable two computers to communicate over a dedicated t1 line?

Dedicated as in point-to-point? You probably don't need this or any router to establish that connection. However, as long as you have IP addresse for each end and a gateway, these devices should work fine and allow connection for many computers at each end. Additionally, if you have normal internet service with a static IP at each end, you can set up a VPN connection between the two locations with two of these devices and not have to pay for a point-to-point.

Yes, this item has VPN which helps computers communicate securely over the Internet provided by T1 line. You only need RV042 at one end and use Cisco VPN software at other computer. If unfamilar with VPN, get help from someone with networking experience.

Yes connects to a network with cat5 or direct to computer with parallel connection

No. Only one computer can connect to a USB hub at a time. This is not a network hub or network router.

No, you can connect the unit directly to a standard router or switch - hub. This will link both network environments.

"Allows 2 computers to share a single RJ45 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet port"

I've never used it that way, but I believe it will not work. That RJ-45 is intended as a physical LAN interface and it will not accept a default route via another router accessible through it.

Yes. By trying to use both you are creating an Ethernet loop. Ethernet is a point to point technology. Your router sees the same MAC address on two different links

Yes you can connect up to 4 computers from one Ethernet port, Ive never had any problems with it

Yes, the adapter is the same as putting two individual network cards in your machine. As long as they are configured correctly you can access networks connected to both at the same time.

Yes you can assign a different IP address to each nic. But if it's a windows machine I would only assign a gateway to the one with Internet access unless you know how to edit the windows routing table. Dual gateways never goes well in windows

It does. You can set it up via the GUI under IP Configuration > IPv4 Management and Interfaces > DHCP Server. Or you can set it up using the CLI.

Yes. Thus router has been working for me like a charm. I have it connected to 4 WAPs throught 2 POE Switches and multiple direct connect devices. The router handles flawlessly!

As far as I know, if you are running two separate LAN cards on the same computer, they will only work if you have two different IP Addresses. So I don't think that will enable you to do what you are wanting to do.

Hi! I have not configured this router on a UNIX/Linux OS. System requirements on the box state that this router is UNIX and Linux compatible.

I have the 8916 model and I did have you use the LAN line to set it up initially, but once it is set up, you no longer need LAN, just a wireless router.

Yes! There's nothing really "fancy" about the connection. It just plain "hooks up" and switches between whichever computer is active.

Yes. We were successful connecting two sites, 700 ms apart, using two TP-LINKs from the LAN port of our router. Any obstruction is detrimental, but it depends on the magnitude of that obstruction. We are communicating thru palm trees, but we got the antennas as high as possible to minimize interference of tree trunks etc. There will be some loss of power through any obstruction, and I can't comment on your trees. Aiming, direct TP to TP is important two. Recommend you set them up on the ground, before mounting on posts or towers. We are not high speed users or high bandwidth users
