How can I setup Mini in a room that doesn't have a modem or coax cable? My room has never been set up for cable access. I just use WiFi for all my internet access. The modem is set up in the living room near the main TV so doing a wired ethernet...

All the info on the Mini I've read/learned from my own installation indicate that you cannot use WiFi for a mini. You need either a wired Ethernet connection or coax.

The just use the media (though Cat5 is sufficient). They are not using Ethernet framing and routers and switches won't work.

There's no disk. Plug one side into the wall, connect to the modem/router. Plug the other some place else in the house. Run Ethernet to a router. Enjoy! Very picky. Don't plug close to anything electrical or electronic. If installed isolated works well. Otherwise not worth much!

i'm not really sure of your exact question? but here is how i'm this Dualcomm Ethernet adaptors. I have internet in my shop and tried to use wireless signals to get internet in house, but it was to far. but I had coax cable running from shop to house already. so I found these dualcomm adaptors that had "Ethernet to coax". So I connected my ethernet cable in my shop to this adaptor to the coax cable that ran to house then reversed it back from coax to Ethernet in my house to connect to my computer. hope that helps

Correct. Set up using an ethernet connection to the router and then unplug and relocate. Does have to be used to extend a separate router and/or modem. The modem needs to be connected to the Cat5e. Hope that helps

The Mini can be set up as a wireless device, but it will work better if you can wire it in. If you have no cable run, it would be even better to connect it with an ethernet cable, which is smaller and easier to run (more like a phone cable)

Angela, The wiring should go: from the wall the coax cable will plug into your cable company (ie comcast) Modem which comes out ethernet and plugs into this device. From there it goes wireless to your phone, laptop, tablet, etc or it could also have wired ethernet coming out and going to your TP-Link powerline plugs, your Wii, your Roku, etc.

A cable modem doesn't have anything to do with cable TV. This modem is for internet, VoIP service and can act as a wireless router.

I do not have a definitive answer but I believe you can use the modem without using the router. You can turn off the router's broadcasting ability and send the signals via cables to a router.

You don't need a "separate Ethernet". This TV will connect wirelessly to your existing 802.11n wi-fi network. If it can't because the wireless signal is too weak in the other room, you can (1) run an Ethernet cable from your router to the TV or (2) buy a Powerline adapter kit to send Ethernet over your power lines and connect an Ethernet cable from the powerline adapter in the other room to your TV.

Thanks for your question. The actual answer is that I've never seen the cable. Many systems don't actually don't come with cable because the manufacturer doesn't know your room dimensions. It's possible that supplied cable wouldn't be adequate for rooms of varying sizes.

We absolutely mean no installation. There's no telephone wires or cable lines that need to be installed. Our device uses existing cell phone towers to get you online. All you have to do is plug it into a wall outlet, connect to the wifi network and you're online.

It came with an Ethernet cord as well as a USB cord. The side that plugs into the device is tiny, (sorry, not sure if it's micro or mini) but the end that plugs into the TV or whatever you are hooking it up to, is a standard USB size. Hope that helps.

I did not have to buy any cords. All of the cords were included. Make sure before you buy that all cords are included with the modem.

In my particular case, the coax cable runs from the wall to my ARRIS modem; from there, the internet signal is carried by a network cable running from the modem to a Belkin wireless router; which is, in turn, connected to my desktop via the same type of network cable. I needed the wireless router primarily for my laptop, but my smartphone and other devices also use it. I typically use both the desktop and my laptop to work online, without issue.

No. This is only a modem. That means it can translate data between cable (coming from the wall) and Ethernet (going to your home network). If you have cable internet and you're using this modem, you will also need a "wireless router" in order to use wireless. Try searching for that.

NO....selected model with no wifi because modem is located low and wifi signal would be blocked by other equipment. Going to buy a separate router some day and mount it high on wall.
