Does this connect to the internet through a router (cat 5 cable) or through a computer (USB port) ?

Cat5 connected directly to the router/switch. It also has a "computer" port that you can plug the cat5 from your computer into, this allows the phone and computer to share a single wall cat5 port.

it will connect either thru wi-fi or with an ethernet cable. either way it's easy to do.

No, it does not act as a router. It could probably be connected to your laptop and possibly your phone, if they have an available USB port and there is a driver compatible with their operating systems.

It has cat 5 connections only so if your cable modem has a cat 5 out you can hook it to computer and any wireless

It has to be connected to the router via an Ethernet cable for Internet access remotely.

It connects to a computer. It should be noted however that the USB is not OTG

I did a connection from my modem. the laptop received the signal. don't think it works from a computer Ethernet port. a computer is not the source of the signal.

No it is USB and eSATA but many ethernet routers and switches have one of these connections.

This drive is not intended for USB connection. It connects to a router via an Ethernet port. It has a USB port for connecting a USB memory.

It will connect a cat5 ethernet to a bnc connecton. I am guessing the cat5 is what you are calling an ip connection.

Nope. It has built-in WiFi and will connect directly to your router. Works well.

No, you have to connect it to a power strip. You also have to connect it to your computer via ethernet cord. You don't have to connect it to the router itself.

I agree with Amanda's comment. Ethernet cable from router to computer is only for the initial set-up.

No, it has a USB 3 port that plugs into your computer, thus allowing you to transfer any data through your computers Ethernet connection

It does not get internet from a port, USB or ethernet. It connects to the internet via WI-fi from your router. Then it rebroadcasts that wifi-signal, functioning as a repeater. Optionally, it has an Ethernet port to which you can connect a PC, gaming console, etc. using it as a wi-fi adapter. This way to can connect a device like a Blue Ray player, Game console or even a PC without wi-fi to the internet.Very versatile device.

Hi. You get a USB to Ethernet adaptor with it, and can buy USB to rj45 very cheap.
