does the genie go connect to my modem/router via ethernet or to the directv wireless box that is connected via coax from dish?

The genie connects wirelessly to ipad, computer, etc wirelessly through the main receiver I believe. We have no wires from router to direct tv nor to Genie boxes, wireless.

Yes it's compatible with the DIRECTV Genie, here's a link to our product page: http://www.wiredathome.com/cables-and-accessories/satellite-tv-accessories/multiswitches/swm/directv-swm16-single-wire-multi-switch-16-tuners/

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.

yes, our DirecTv box is a Genie & hangs a bit over the edge but is super sturdy. I've run into it a few times & have had zero problems.

I have a genie going to four rooms with Tivo to two more. You will need to add a switch at the point of wiring to get the Tivo unit to work also ( so that it has a separate feed to the dish). If you just plug it in where a c41-700 network box is it will not work. If you are replacing the Genie, then it will work. Network availability, just like the Genie is also required for proper functioning. Hope it helps.

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.

Other response is correct, DirecTV Genie does not output the necessary 5v. Other than that works fine. You can micky mouse a work-around by turning on one of the other devices on the switch, and then manually switching to the input you want, but is a nuisance.

I gave up on mine, got tired of rebooting the unit, so Directv sent a tech out to my home and it kept dropping the signal for him too. So the tech hard-wired a small box into the system running off my router and I now have internet to every tv in the house.

There is no input for coax - so no. If you look at what DD WRT can do - this can do all of that stuff. There is some really advanced stuff that 99% of home users would never use.

This RF link transmitter needs to be connected to the DirectTV receiver box via the RCA plugs. I have Dish Network and my receiver box had a separate set of "channel out" RCA plugs which are controlled by the remote. In my situation, the RF Link works great. If you don't have a set of RCA-type "channel out" plugs on your DirectTV receiver box, connecting this RF Link transmitter could be a problem. Per the other responses, the only limitation is that the channel you are watching via the "main" (HDMI output, etc.) from your DirectTV receiver would be the same at the RF Link is transmitting the receiver unit in another room.

Confirmed. The myQ device is hooked up next to my router by ethernet cable on the second floor. The garage door unit is located a floor below, 200 feet away through several walls. It works.

The DN840 has 'pass through' allowing the HDMI signal from your Directv to go through the receiver to your tv without powering up the DN840. However, this only works if you powered down the DN840 with the Directv selected last. If you powered down the DN840 with, say, the Playstation selected last, then the pass through logic will be set to Playstation and not Directv. So then when your wife turns on the TV/Directv, she'll call to ask why the TV won't work. To get the DN840 to switch back to Directv 'pass through' you'll have to turn the receiver on, select Directv, then the receiver will send that signal to the TV. Yes, this is driving us nuts since we regularly switch between TV and Playstation.

I use this with my DirecTV setup, so I assume you could do the same with Dish, although I can't speak authoritatively on this matter.

Yes. Coax is preferred. Ethernet works but might not be supported by Dish (go to satelliteguys dot com for that). And then there's adding wireless to an existing Joey, or just buying a wireless Joey.

If your receiver has an optical in (its a small square port ) and your genie also has an optical out you can use a fiber optical cable to connect them. AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

Yes, it was made to work with the genie DVR from directv. Just follow the instructions.carefully.

I am just an "end user" and am using an upgraded receiver that works independent of my Genie. It would be better to direct tech questions to Winegard.
