The specs for connectivity on the Amazon page says "USB". Does this device not connect to the home network wirelessly? Is this an Amazon error?

This unit will connect to your network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. The USB is for connecting a flash or hard drive device. If you click on "see more product details", it gives you a better description of the product.

The older unit is the same as the newer one. I am not sure what changes were made. I have the older unit and bought the newer unit for my son. As far as I can tell, they are the same. It may be internal or in the software. I did see the older unit has a better description and a view of the back of the unit. Both units include 1080p output.

USB is so you can connect hard drives to the device for local storage media playback. It does have wireless built in for networking.

It connects wirelessly to your home network (for your TV and your hard drive). It connects via USB to your hard drive to store your content.

USB is for flash or hard drive storage. It dies connect wirelessly to your network (2.4Gz only) for network programs. If you are looking mostly for newwork programming Ruoko has more programing.

From a connectivity stand point, there are no differences between the units. I have found the descriptions posted by Amazon can be very vague. I find myself needing to do more research before buying and usually on the mfg. website.

I sent mine back. I couldn't get it to connect to the remote unit. I have dealt with wireless networks for work and home for years and found this to be not reliable or easy to use.

You really need to detail out what exactly the problems are your experiencing. I have no trouble with mine as long as the signal strength is low/medium to good. If you explain more I may be able to help. Are you not able to connect with your home router or are you having problems with other WiFi hotspots. Bob

I'm not sure of the spec, but so far it has connected to all of the wifi points that I have tried to which i typically connect with my laptop. It must be at least 802.11g. I just checked both the manual and the about page on the device, but they don't list the wireless spec.

Well considering it is a WiFi USB adapter use u need WiFi to use thus device. But WiFi is not required to setup or configure the device.

This tablet does not have a USB connection, thus it would not support a USB device, or the drivers that are typically required to make it work. A wireless hotspot would work best, but if you are having Wi-Fi issues, it most likely would not change fix the problem. Perhaps a reformat (master reset) of the tablet would solve the issue.

The interface is USB with no LAN or WiFi connection. You could conceivably connect a bunch of stuff to (perhaps) make it work on a network or you could go to Radio Shack and buy a 25 ft USB extension cable. Works great.

Mine is working fine and seems to connect almost instantaneously. I would try on other pcs or laptops if it was too late to return. I have two desktops and three laptops being use in my household. I have and have had around five or seven wireless mouse. Only one from china gave us some trouble. It was cheap.

As Atul and Thomas just said, you need to attach it to your router with an ethernet cable. And by the way, once you have done that, set-up is simple. And reliable: I have been using this device to manage a usb disk just like a NAS (network attached storage) and it has been working without any problem. Over the past two years with the computers of my network (windows XP and windows 7) sharing the disk through the home network.

I'm not familiar with Amazon fire stick, do I would not be able to help you in that area. You should try asking them before making the purchase. But this works very well for my home without having anything else in connection with it, all devices in our home picks up the wifi connection very quick and easily. Hope this helps you.

First of all I am having trouble getting it to connect to the internet via my AT&T 3G Velocity Wi-Fi adaptor. As for the rest of the configuration I used, which does work nicely. It wirelessly displays itself, you can attach to it and resources like my external network hard drive, printer, other computers via the HUB. I took the RJ45 connection (made it a LAN connection in the Hame software) to a 4 port HUB, , connected a 2TB network hard drive to it, router wise it works great. The Hame issues the IP address's so a mini network is established, just like at my NY home (FIOS network/wireless router), I am setting this up for use on my floating winter home, a 38' Ketch in Florida. Fact is it works great in every way except I have not been able to connect to the internet through it, yet. I download the latest software from Hame, still have to install and retest. I hope this answers your question.......

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.

So, just to understand because I tried two USB n adapters on mine then took it back to BB.You are up and running wireless using the AirLink?Cool! I'll go get the unit again.

I'm running it wireless, but it can run USB as well. just select that when you run the set up.

As far as I know the only connections it supports are WiFi and ethernet. The USB is for file sharing.

Sorry, its USB 3.0/2.0 only. The only way to get it on the network would be to connect to a computer and then create a share.

Paul, Appreciate the input. But, that's not it. It's been connected to the wireless network the whole time. Any other ideas? Anybody?
