ok, Just got the INfini 6eth from Amazon..I'd like to know a couple of things before I even unpackage it. I'm using this to connect to other windows 7 pcs in my house. Can it work over a wireless or just gigabit wired network? I assume I don't need extenders because I'm going straight to a windows media center PC? Can I do everything I would do in the old days when I had a pcie ceton in my PC? record watch etc? 6 tuners over to three bedroom pc's..do I allocate two tuners to one room, two to another, etc? is that what tuner pooling is? thanks..Jeff ok, Just got the INfini 6eth from Amazon..I'd like to know a couple of things before I even unpackage it.

I had no problems with it working over a wireless-N network in a room with a single wall separating the router from the wireless adapter.

You'll be able to accomplish everything that you trying to do with the one ceton 6 just make sure that all computers are connected to your network including the ceton6

I used one of the wireless bridge TrendNet Wireless AC devices (provided you have a wireless AC router). I also used the 5GHZ band was well if that makes a difference.

As with every one of these Powerlink products, the question as to where is the single extender (needed for expansion to another device) available? Netgear? Not available at Amazon apparently. Linksys? Not available at Amazon and their own store says they've been discontinued. Medialink? Please, somebody post the link to where I could find one because like all the others, I only see "kits" for sale.

As long as you have software on the device that can pick up the tuners... than you are ok. So 3 separate pic's with WMC will work. An extender, like xbox uses a PC.. so as long as 2-3 extenders are connected to separate computers than yes...

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

Hello, it works fine... Mine have been working for 3 years. To do what you want: 1) For example, Connect your internet ethernet to port 5 2) Computer A port 2 and Computer B to port 3 ------- (I am assuming you are connected on port 1) 3) Create 3 VLANs Name, for example where there are the VLANS DATA, Audio , Voip, etc... make yours (Alpha, Beta, Internet) 4) Then go to the specific sections where you can put a check on the ports and: and make sure all have the check in them, except for the ports you dont want to communicate. Done! If you want i can help you via team viewer, My twitter is @RomelSan

Im not sure what you mean by "if i use 2 of these". Did you mean using one linksys router with the n66? Or two linksys routers? What are your needs specifically? like just how much range, what kind of obstacles? and how many cross-floor levels? suburban or city apartments? optimal multimedia steaming experience (using 5GHz band)? By itself, the n66 are only usb wifi adapters, not router or wifi repeaters ( although ASUS do offer a software AP which could make this adapter into an acess point via shared network acess). Out of the box for most people this will act as an adaptor will improve the wireless reception quality of whichever one device it's connected with. As with the software AP, the limitation is the computer that you connect with the n66 adaptor must be on in all times for the wireless network. Secondly and gerenerally speaking, although backward compatible, wireless n adapters (like the n66) nowadays will limit its range radius when not operating in N mode. Using the software AP along with the wrt54g will require this adapter to operate in G mode, which is not much better than another wrt54g. If you are asking about using two wrt54gs: Unless you already have two of them OR some very important legacy device that can't use Wireless N, do use two of them and setup a wireless bridge. If you don't have another one yet, just get one new Wireless N router, ASUS or Linksys, you will get at least twice the range with wireless N compared to G. (Theoretically 3 times the range on paper.) Sidenote : I'm currently using this adapter in wireless N 5GHz with a Linkysys EA3500 dual band wireless router. I got this adapter because i want to have a better wireless reception quality in the 5GHz band. 5GHz signals cant penatrate the walls as well as in 2.4GHz, so through three dry walls, about 50 meters from the router I get 4 to 5 bars on my Windows desktop and no drops ever since. 5GHz have less interference and is comparatively optimal for gaming and lag free (ish) multimedia streaming such as youtube and Hulu.

basing in my experience if ceton says it it only for pc then it its for pc because i even tried to use my infinitv4 usb with win8 and i got problem that i got to return the unit until i change my operating system to win7 pro and bought another infinittv4 from amazon because the first one was from ebay before i got it working with windows media center -thanks

I'm trying to do the exact same thing. I have a Sony BDP N460, a blu ray player with an ethernet port but no wireless. First let me suggest what I'm currently using. The Netgear XAV101 PowerLine AV (look for the product that includes two units) which sends internet through your existing power wires. You connect an ethernet cable from your router to one of these devices plugged in to an outlet. Then take the second device and plug it in where you want internet access. Ideally you can get about 150 Mbps (when I connected to the next room). But where I need to go is across the house and the speed is at best 47 Mbps. The bottom line however is that it totally works. I can stream Netflix content (in HD) no problem. The quality is noticeable reduced, but definitely watchable, and for content you're not going to watch on blu ray disc anyways, might not be an issue. Now for the question at hand, I just received this item you are asking about. I was hoping it would grab internet wirelessly from my wireless N router. I'm thinking that yes another one may be required. For just under twice as much there is this product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00126R3P6/ which includes two wireless bridges. This may be what we're looking for. I can't understand why there isn't simply a single device that will connect wirelessly to my wireless router and give internet access to a network device. But maybe it's possible if the tech said so. I hope so otherwise I'm spending more money and I want to stick with Netgear because my experience and the general consensus is that their devices are more reliable than others. And I just noticed the post is a year old. Well maybe this will help someone.

My 6200 just got delivered today. so I can say yes the 6200 has a repeater in it. Im currently running a ps3 and 360 both through the 6200 hdmi repeater and my cable box through component. The onyko extracts pcm over hdmi from ps3 and dolby digital 5.1 over hdmi from 360. Just as stated before, 6200 no longer upconverts SD signals. Oh and if you can get twin/dual banana plugs, cheapest I know of is at m*n*price ... they would of made my setup a lil easier, real pita twist connecting fourteen 16g speaker wires to the terimal posts. no it doesnt come w/ 16g wire, something like 22g or 24g; my stock wires are still sitting in the bag it came in.

These are good products however, a lot of the "range" id dependent upon the type equipment that you have i.e., language being utilized and whether its laptop and/or desktop. Especially important will be be type input Modem being utilized at your home for outward dissemination. It all adds into the equation. I have personally used these years ago for equipment in my home (large area home) and with a laptop at the end of the house; it worked satisfactorily. I would highly - very highly - recommend that you contact your local provider and inqjuire with them as to the range requirements for their channel input/output regarding the usage of the Netgear PL AV200. We were fortunate in that our Provider happens to be Bright House, one of the best in the industry if not the best - for full range of connection. Their input modem (located in our home) is the Ubee with wide-area coverage and no additional expander/boosters are necessary. Again, check with you local Provider and they should be able to provide you with the exact parameters you need to follow i.e., distance from their input modem, etc..... Sorry, but equipment these days is relevant to Provider-provided Modem equipment; thats the main goodie in it all........... Good luck...... Skip

No due to the cable card spec and the digital cable advisor (that must be installed) this product only works with win7 or win8. If you use third party programs to convert any copy-freely content to DVR-MS your XP box will be able to play the content. I have been using the ceton infini4 since 2 months after its release. I now have 3 cards or a total of 12 tuners in my personal TV server. And have configured more than 10 configs for clients... I would just break down and put a copy of win7 on your XP box. In addition Linux is possible but only for copy-freely channels. As of June10th 2013 my cable company, Verizon FiOS, has all channels copy-freely except for the pay movie channels

Master Zoen, thanks for your question. Unfortunately, that's the only downside with the InfiniTV 6, no on-demand capability.

You can have as many as you want connected throughout your house. I do not. I only have two.But, certainly you can.As for performance, well, since these are not 'switching' devices, any traffic on it, has to share the bandwidth available. And depending on location, electrical and other things, each one's bandwidth may vary just by its location. Having said that, mine run at 33Mbps, slow compared to 500Mbps advertised, but I can tell that I have not seen any problems with bandwidth. I run Netflix, Xbox and 2 computers through my second router location and it all works just fine! You can have as many as you want connected throughout your house. I do not.

You can only use this as a repeater if you already have an Ubiquity access point that is wired. Then you can add another as a repeater (up to 4 wireless). This will NOT work to extend (repeat) from another brand of wireless router or access point. It will only repeat another Ubiquity access point signal. On a brighter note this has such amazing coverage you may not need a repeater anymore. If you do I would recommend that you buy 2 of these plug one into your wired network then use the second one to repeat the signal (its called wireless uplink).

I really don't recommend this unit. I have given up on trying to keep it synced. It is very difficult to connect to their server site. I recommend you pick up an Amped system it is easier to continually reconnect. I think that is an issue with all of these extenders.

No, it will work as soon as you install drivers and software. There is a great review here in the InfiniTv area. I followed and it helped out great. Your cable company will tell you the InfiniTV will only do 2 or 4 tuners so dont bother asking. All you need to do is to be sure and write down EVERY!!! number off of the Infinitv and the M-card you get from your cable provider. After install of the Infinitv during M-card set up you should do it all manually with the cable tech support. You may have to call back a few times until you find someone who understands M-Card setup. But when you do it should all go smooth for you. Good Luck!!

Hi Miguel, I have two blue rays, 2 laptops, and 4 tablets running (not all at the same time of course. I can run up to 4 devices a time without lag) PERFECTLY! on this extender. The most important part to this whole process is the right set up when you start. Use your computer that has the router you are going use as your hot spot for the setup of the extender. Go to the link that is enclosed in box with the extender follow the on screen instructions. It was a piece of cake to setup. To use this extender you will have to reset any connection on devices you want to use with this device. I'm still getting 260 to 290Mbps on this beauty!
