Can I use this to make my old desktop wireless? I'd sure ike to cut the cord (ethernet) and move it to another room...

Yes you can. I use it to wirelessly connect a tv/bd player but anything with an ethernet connection can be connected.

I have no idea if that would work but I have to ask why would you want to do that? Its a very expensive solution to use the multiport adapter ($77 from amazon) to replace a $20.00 Ethernet switch

Sorry I can't help. This device did not meet my need. I can't remember now what I wanted it to do. I am doubtful that it would do much ethernet connecting. But please don't take that as fact

As long as you have WiFi, yes. If all you have is a wired router, then no. You need WiFi since this has no physical ethernet port.

Yes you should be able to do that. Just imagine your electrical wiring as a very long ethernet cable once you have hooked up the powerline adapters.

No , you need to run a sepret Ethernet cord . One of the best cords is a cat 6

This is only for expanding the number of wired network ports. It is not intended or designed for wireless use.

I was able to get a signal to my desktop computer out in the garage, which is detached from my house. the wireless router was probably 75 feet from the garage and through a few walls. signal was medium, not great not terrible. if you can get one of the antennas outside, it would greatly improve the chance of a good signal. no promises. Good luck.

I'm not an authority on the kind of router you have...but..it would seem to me that you would be better off using a wireless adapter that also has an ethernet plug. That way, you can reach your computer with the wireless antenna without having to use an ethernet connection, but you can also use the ethernet connection to plug a cable into your TV.

Yes, I bought it for this exact reason since my stereo receiver upstairs in my loft required an Ethernet connection. The wifi is really weak upstairs in my house so I also attached a wireless access point to one of the ports and now my loft has 3 hard wired connections and wireless coverage. They work very well too! You will need more than one to make it work though. They sell them in kits. This is just for one.

Why would you want to do that? That would defeat the purpose and design of this system. This is strictly an independent wireless stand alone unit. You will be happy with it as is. Good luck.

Yes. I am currently doing just that. Keep in mind though, it is not a WiFi router. You have to plug an Ethernet cable into it or plug an access point in it for WiFi.

If the router includes more than one ethernet jack then yes. If it only has one ethernet jack, then you'd want to buy a switch or hub.

if you have a mac, it will work as an extender or hook up to receiver. I have an ethernet switch connected, to which 3 devices are connected to , and receiver. All work great. Plus another one in my bedroom to old pc running xp.

You could hook it up to a wireless adapter as well and have it talk to your wireless router. The Samsung is not picky as to what hangs off the ethernet port as long as it can obtain an IP address and get on the internet.

If your computer doesn't have built-in wireless, then yes, that's what this is for. You would hook up this to your ethernet jack on the back of your computer using a CAT5 cable. And then this device would wirelessly connect to your Internet router or modem to give you wireless access on your computer.

I am certain that you can, since the switch is merely directing the connection, but I prefer the other way around. Everything in my home is on the same subnet, and I pre-wired my house for ethernet in every room. I ran the modem to the router, and a port on the router to the switch. From there, every bedroom, living room and kitchen were connected at a central point.
