The gateway portion of this product has an ethernet cable to plug into a LAN port on your router. The gateway's wireless range is hundreds of feet, thus neither the router nor the gateway need to be near the garage. The wall control portion, that connects to the door opener, communicates wireless to the gateway. The gateway and wall control can be hundreds of feet apart and maintain a reliable wireless connection.

You connect the gateway directly to your router with an ethernet cable. The wall control is not plugged into an ethernet jack so you should be fine.

Confirmed. The myQ device is hooked up next to my router by ethernet cable on the second floor. The garage door unit is located a floor below, 200 feet away through several walls. It works.

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.

The connection the a computer is only required during the setup process. After the unit is connected to the network it works as a stand alone network device like your router. It just needs to be connected to a power outlet in a location where the signal strength from the router is at least 70%.

Put the dongle in and follow the instructions. It will connect wirelessly. You don't need a cat5 wire, like Justin mentions. I don't even know what that is and mine works fine with no hardwire connection.

No you need 2 units, one for the router and one for the modem, then multiple ethernet cables ti connect it all

You will need the router for wifi. I hardwired my computer as I don't need wireless in my second building.

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.

Hi Stephen, This model comes with Gigabit Ethernet, so you will have to buy/use a Cat 5e or Cat6 Ethernet Cable to get the most out of the connection. It does not come with WiFi so if you wish to connect it via Wireless, the easiest way is to purchase a USB Wireless Adapter that best matches your existing router at home. Hope that helps!

In this case Ethernet is referred to the internet connection, this computer does not have a WiFi card so you have to plug it to get internet access using a Ethernet cable, Google Ethernet cable to see an image you may have one. Normally you will plug it to the modem or router or the wall depending where you have your Ethernet connection. If you want a WiFi connection you will have to buy a WiFi adapter, they are not expensive.

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.

From what I remember installing it there is an Ethernet connector on the back, but as with most modern equipment it's either/or. I doubt you'd see a major difference between wired and WiFi, as long as it's not too far from your WiFi router.

Well I have a linksys wireless router plugged into the modem. The modem does NOT send out a wireless signal it is just a cable internet modem so if you don't have a wireless router you won't be able to connect with the modem unless you plug an Ethernet cable into it.

Yes it comes with ethernet jack. It comes with a lot of adware also. You will want to take it to Staples or somewhere to have some things removed. Otherwise happy with our purchase

Not sure I follow. It does have a hard line connection if you want. My wireless router for the house Wi-Fi is downstairs. This left no possible way to hard line connect. The Netgear extender is plugged in to a wall socket upstairs and amplifies the signal from weak to excellent, allowing a Wi-Fi connection for my computer to connect to.

Sorry but no, this unit only connects to a WIFI network not through an Ethernet connection. For Ethernet connections you need an access point like the AP20000G.

no this is a modem that connects to a router u will need a wireless router. you would connect the cable to the modem than run a ethernet cable from the modem to your wireless router, then from there another eternet cable to your computer

for the initial setup you have to use the provided Ethernet cable and plug in the device to your wifi router and you can program the unit as instructed from there you will not require the cable
