Yes. In my home, I have both wired and wireless networks. I have 4-port or 8-port unmanaged switches at several locations throughout my home, each with a wired link back to my primary switch/router. Each of the satellite switches has a wireless access point attached to it. This gives me sufficient whole-house wireless coverage for my family's various iPads, smartphones, laptops, et al, plus the several wired entertainment centers. You'll give the WAPs the same SSID as is done in hotels and commercial buildings, but of course you'll assign each one its own operating channel. A free smartphone app that's useful for performing that function is 'Wifi Analyzer'.

It will need to be plugged in. The only wireless adapters I can think of are chromechast and the allshare dongle.

Could you please explain in more detail. Are you trying to say you would like to use this item to connect via Wi-Fi? If so, then no, you cannot do that with this item, this item is just a switch. What you need is a Wireless Router.

There is an ethernet port for a hardwired connection. You may want to look at a USB wireless device that will allow you to establish a wireless connection.

I think that they can both workat the same time, however you need to go in and make changes to the IP address. I used my netbook to set up the initial connections and then used my tablet and an IPAD to check to make sure that it was working properly.

Hi Bev H. You would need a wireless router for that. Your wireless router depends on the kinds and number of devices you want to connect to it. You can consult us about it.

No. It is wired to the main box. Switch works well with wired keyboard and wireless mouse. It didn't work with wireless keyboard for some reason.

This is a wired internet switch, not a wireless device. It cannot boost wireless coverage.

The switch is equivalent of you unplugging the device from one computer and then plugging it into another computer.From other comments I see it even works if you extend the output with a USB hub.I see no reason why this wouldn't work.
