2 questions please:1) Can it receive and repeat wirelessly, i.e., repeat without any ethernet cables?2) Is the antenna for receiving or sending?

It is made for sending and receiving but can't do both simultaneously. However a wireless to wired bridge and vice versa can be setup.

1. I'm not sure. It isn't officially a repeater, and I don't recall that being a configuration option.2. The antenna serves both purposes, as with nearly all modern routers. That said, signal strength is very strong.

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

No. It works as a wireless router and has no feature to work as a wireless repeater.

There are a bunch of "yes" answers, but no! No ethernet jack - only wireless and USB interfaces.

I did a connection from my modem. the laptop received the signal. don't think it works from a computer Ethernet port. a computer is not the source of the signal.

It comes with a small Ethernet cord. You can use this cord to hookup to a router or repeater. We bought a $25 wireless repeater that plugs into a wall jack and plugged the unit into it. Simple.

Yes, there is the option in the router console to set it up as a wireless repeater, though I don't have personal experience with using it in that capacity.

is this confirmed that the 6003 has ethernet port? Reviewers are saying you need the dongle for any internet connection. Thanks for any clarification. I ordered this for my inlaws and they do not have a wireless modem.

I have a similar setup working, but instead of using the ethernet connection on the modem, which most only have one, I use two ethernet connections on the back of the wireless router. One goes to a swich which drives 3 components and the other goes across to the opposite side of my house to a second switch driving 4 components. I am running computers, PS3, Wii, and 2 internet TV's with improved streaming speed and reliability than wireless.

As others noted, you can use a repeater with ethernet outs for this purpose. I use a Netgear wireless-N repeater that works fine for this, and listen to internet radio (BBC, Martha's Vineyard, etc.) fairly frequently. It also helps ensure that firmware is kept updated, although that's not needed very often.

Edward, it is not a wireless unit. It requires a hardwire feed into it from either your modem, router, or other Internet source. The outputs are hardwired also - CAT6 Ethernet cables.

Yes the one I have has several ways,you should be able to connect by ethernet cable wire,phone line,or better yet get you a good router from Amazon.com and go wireless,by its wi fi,thats what I did so I can take my lap top any where I want,even out side up to approx 100ft.I hope this heloed you.

thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe they'd leave the ethernet port off of the "streamlined" model, though. Very annoying! Hopefully still worth it, though. Should be a great picture, which is the most important part.

Wireless implies that it's not "hard wired" to the internet. It receives signal via WIFI. The cable shown is. USB cable used to power and program the units.

Yes you can use an ethernet cable, I used one for the same purpose and it worked

If you are highly tech-savvy you might be able to. You can contact the vendor for help. I ran Ethernet cables for both of mine because we had trouble getting a wireless connection to work reliably.

Hi: It also can be hooked to your computer with the supplied USB cable. Therefore you don't have to run it wirelessly, or have it beside your modem for the ethernet connerction
