CAN THIS BE USED JUST AS A WIFI ROUTER?

Yes. It is actually a very good router. The ability to add a USB3 external disk is a great feature that allows you to add storage without updating your PC -- just plug the external storage device into the router and it's added automatically. However, if you don't need the extra storage, you might save a bit of money by buying a Netgear unit without it. Mine works great. Once you attach the device it will show up as a Network Device (READYSHARE) on Windows Explorer. Click READYSHARE on Windows Explorer and, after the file opens, click it and then MAP NETWORK DRIVE.

Yes, you can use it as a wifi router only - the internal hard drive is optional. You won't be sorry with the speed of this - it's excellent!!

Yes. I put a router on the receiving end. I did convert it to function as a WAP, but I'm sure it would work fine as a router.

Yes, depending on your configuration, you may have to configure this DSL as a bridge and use your wireless router as a router or leave the DSL modem as a router and configure your wireless router as a WIFI access point. you have flexibility with two configuration choices.

Yes, this can be used as an access point, and is designed to hook on to your main router's Wi-Fi connection to extend signal to dead zones in your home.

Yes you can, you can turn any wired modem or router into a wireless device. You also use it to extend your wireless reach (signal repeater).

Yes you can. Although I tired the wireless set-up, it is easy to use this as a modem only. Simply enter enter the modem, and there are admin features including turning off the wifi output. I have never had an issue doing this and I have a separate router for wifi.

You cannot use this as a router, you would need to turn your computer off to work this switch.

It is a router only, not a router/modem combo. It will work behind a cable modem to provide wifi, but not in place of it.

No. This device is for connecting ethernet-only devices to a Wi-Fi network. What you need is a Wi-Fi router.

I think you can, although I did not use it for that. I used it in a hotel to turn a "high speed internet connection" (wired) into a wireless access point for mobile devices.

you could, but it will have to much signal lost. maybe if you put the antenna by the router your getting the signal off.

Yes... I have set it up as a wireless hot spot... It included two little antennas... Also the MB doesn't need to be hardwired to a router... You can receive and send wifi :0)

Not directly. It can be used wireless if you have a router that allows USB drives to be plugged in.

No, it's not really a router. One piece connects via ethernet cable to your modem, and the smaller piece can plug into any wall socket. The smaller piece is supposed to generate a WiFi signal, allegedly increasing your WiFi range. I didn't have good results with it. A good router works much better for increasing signal range.
