would I be able to use this with a router so I will be able to connect multiple devices, such as my phones and roku?

You can use it with your router. As for connecting to multiple devices - if you are talking about connecting this to multiple devices AT THE SAME TIME, the answer is NO. This is a USB device. This will also not work with your Roku or your phone as this is mainly for laptops and desktops that are beyond your normal router range. For that purpose, this is a fabulous range extender. I got perhaps an additional 500 feet beyond my normal line of signal with a laptop. I was getting a solid three to four bars on the laptop. I am confident I could have gone further but this got a great signal to my garage and that was my primary purpose of purchase.

Yes. This is exactly how I have my setup configured. I initially configured the WR02 as a Repeater ( was not easy at first but read either my review or others on how to do this). I found that the best place to locate the WR02 was in a room where I have a Roku and I don't have a wired connection. I plugged in the Roku to the WR02 and reconfigured the Roku for a wired connection and I believe the throughput is actually better. Maybe because the WR02 is closer to the floor and picking up a stronger Wifi signal from the primary Wifi router. So now from the WR02, I am using both the wired connection for the Roku and the repeated connection for mobile devices and tablets. Yes. This is exactly how I have my setup configured.

If you're referring to a wired Roku, yes it will, but from the router to the Roku. You would then have to connect the Roku to the TV with an HDMI cable. Depending on the model of Roku you have, you can connect it to your router with a cat5 or 6 cable, or wirelessly, the former usually providing the fastest connection.

Simple answer is yes. It gets to be a question of just how portable you need your router to be.

Yes it can, but it requires some configuration. You must have your other centralized router setup to permit external repeaters to rebroadcast the wifi signal. Once configured, this unit can repeat that wifi signal when configured in "repeater" mode. I don't have the manual in front of me, but the web based configuration for this unit has good help to get you going with each step. Alternatively, you can configure this access point to work in a "bridged" mode, but ensure that it works on the same wifi channel as your centralized router (don't choose "Auto" for your channel on both devices) and same wifi network name, to permit users to connect to either device on the same channel. End user devices will latch on automatically to the strongest signal on the same channel in that configuration, allowing seamless "roaming" for each user.

Hi Catboat Willy,A user from our forums said it will as long as the router will provide the bandwidth that your Roku device needs.

My guess would be "yes," especially if, say, your router is in the middle of the house and the extenders are at opposite ends of the house. That way, your wireless devices would "see" only one extender and there would be no interference.

First of all this is only a wired switch, so it won't connect any wireless devices. This switch only allows you to connect wired devices within the same network (i.e. your home network). A router allows you to "route" between more than one network (i.e. the Internet and your home network). A wireless router would allow you to connect 2 networks together and provide wireless access to your home devices, a wireless access point works similar to a wired switch by providing wireless access and extending your local home network, but not connecting other networks.

I don't think it can, but for $99 you can purchase a Roku box from Netfix that does a great job with easy set up easy to hook up to your at home WiFi etc. I've had a very good experience w/ it, but I have DSL Qwest and it doesn't have the best down load speed, probably best w/ cable modem or high speed DSL (especially w/ HDTV)

Yes it can. All you need to do is assign it a static IP address with your router and open the required ports. Then use the software included on a pc/mac or get the app for your smart phone. Remote access instructions are included with the device.

I doubt it will work through a router or a switch. It is only good directly connected from the device to a computer. Look for a Cirago

Yes, this will work. Connect the modem to this router and the roku and computer to the router

I would limit to 2 as you are essentially daisy chaining off your source router. They will tell you can't or shouldn't but I have multiple appletv, roku, sonos, etc and these ports work great.

I wouldn't know as I have only one of them, but I assume that there would be no conflict. The device simply locks onto the nearest wifi signal and amplifies it accordingly. That's its sole purpose, and I don't imagine there would be any issue with transmission or reception of such a signal, since it uses the electrical wiring in your home to connect to the router, but again, I only have one device, so I can't say with any real certainty what the effects are.

You should be able to but realize that you have to have separate ports on your router, one for each device, and you will need a total of 5 RJ45 cables: one cable from each router port to the 1st splitter, one cable from the 1st splitter to the second splitter, and one cable from each device to the second splitter. See the Amazon site for for the kit and click on the picture to see the expanded view which gives diagrams for proper hook-up. Instead of 2 pcs you will substitute one ps4 and one smart tv.

I have this modem and it works just fine with a Roku. You do not need to connect it directly to the Roku, the Roku can operate on the wireless. However, you can connect it with an internet cable if you prefer.

Yes, you can hook up a WIRED Roku through this router. But is has to be a wired Ethernet Roku. Not the wireless only Roku, because this is a Cable/DSL router, not a wireless router.
