Will this work if connected through a router?

I never tried that specific connection, but it did NOT work through a gigabit switch that I had, and when I contacted Eteckcity's customer support, they confirmed that it won't work in that kind of configuration. So, since a router is basically just a switch with routing functionality and a wifi antenna, I would say it's a fairly safe bet that it would not work there either. I've also contacted Atlona support about the same thing for some of their higher-end HDMI extenders, and they don't think theirs would work in such a fashion either. Still trying to find a good solution for this situation myself.

I wouldn't think so, it likely uses a proprietary encoding over the Ethernet cable and wouldn't get a ip address or obey the other protocols required to function over a network router/switch.

Assuming you have a modem/router and not just a modem, it should work fine.

It doesn't work that way.It is a wireless router that hooks up to a modem.You need a cat5 or cat6 cable to hook up from the modem to the router and then it will work

This will work, but you will also need to setup a VLAN-Aware Router as well.

Yes. Plus it into your modem and connect to it either wired or wireless. No problem. be sure to set security on the router.

No. It needs to be physically connected to an Ethernet port either through a wall jack or another router.

So would I be able to connect this to a wired router and connect mutiple devices to it?

As long as the router has an SMC(male) connector it will work. If the router does not have an external to replace it will not work.

yes it does. I have it connected to the router for a broadband connection and it works.

I don't know; I hope someone else can help you with this. I only have used it with my computer and there is a router attached to the upstairs computer.

It should work through the wired ethernet connection. You would have to plug it into the internet or ISP connection on the router.

Depends if your cable modem has a usb port, but I'd guess it wouldn't work. Usually a router is something that has a usb port for something like this. This would allow you to plug a drive into it and then be able to access it from computers on your network: http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-WNR3500L-Open-Source-WNR3500Lv2-Processor/dp/B002RYYZZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428902380&sr=8-1&keywords=WNR3500L

Not sure as it never really worked well for me, even after I updated the firmware. I had it plugged directly into the router too!

Don't think it will work on your router as I needed to load software to make it work on my Laptop.

Depends on your set up...if you are running Ethernet from a modem, and through the power line adapter, and then into a wireless router...yeah it should work

Yes and No There are two types one work with Wifi and the other does not work with Wifi it has to be connected directly to your router by cable. Therefore it depend on the type you have purshased

If you have the right router. I don't and need to return mine. Never used it. I have an other that connects by Ethernet cable that works fine.
