Do I need this or will a N600 do for two rooms right next to each other running a wired Desktop and BluRay and 1 wireless notebook?

I believe the N600 will be fine. the range and distance does not seem to be an issue for you

we bought 2 of these and are using them in a conference room; one is mounted on the wall (the versa mount made this really easy) and the other is tucked into the channel on a conference room table. We only just completed the installation, but in the week that we've been using them I haven't had any problem. We're not using them for anything taxing (mostly PPT), so can't answer for heavy-duty computing. I've been surprised at how fast the machines are. (Fyi, we're running W7 pro in a corporate environment; not using wireless). Hope this helps. I'll report back if I learn anything more;

Hi Andrew. If your modem has wireless capability, then you may let the wireless adapter ( Belkin N600) connect to its network wirelessly. No need for another router if you already have one.

Easy enough set-up and good enough for what you say you will need it for as long as your devices aren't too far away from the router. If you ever want to stream video, such as Netflix or Hulu or have a multi-level home, this will not work effectively. If you want to do the latter as I mentioned I would suggest the Asus RT-N66U or the newer AC66U. The N model, which I have, is cheaper and works very well in my multi-level home. I probably get greater than 100 ft coverage on my Asus. Good luck!

It depends on what you want to accomplish. If you do theater, then you may want a wireless receiver connected to a mixer and amplifier, if you are doing lectures then you may only need an receiver and amplifier. You would need to tell me more of your needs. In my case we used it for our Paster at church, connected to a receiver which feeds the mixer and amplifier.

Kumar,Yes, f both computers are set up properly set up for wireless, there shouldn't be a problem.

That may be a question the manufacturer should answer. I use this on my WD TV HD box so that I do not have to plug a cable from my router to the WD box. The wireless speed is a bit slower than a wired connection so I still use a wired connection in the living room. It is convenient to plug in the wireless Airlink and I can take it into another room or upstairs and use the WD box on another tv to use Netflix, YouTube, etc. I would suggest you check with your manufacturer for an answer or contact Airlink for help too. My personal guess would be that if you have a USB on your unit, then the Airlink should work but this is my opinion only. That may be a question the manufacturer should answer.

Yeap. Just did that last week at home, but I have only the AV200s. Bought a single AV200 adapter and added it to my network. Make sure you read instructions in the box on adding to your existing network. I am however only seeing single AV200 and AV500 adapters - not seeing a single AV600 adapter available for purchase here : (

This card, like many others, is unlikely to be the bottleneck in on-line gaming. Most Internet connections are &lt; 25Mb/S and can be serviced well by 802.11g network cards (54Mb/S). This card's 450Mb/S capability would be more useful to those streaming high resolution video over a local network. Blu-ray video with HD audio can require over 100Mb/S bandwidth. If installing this in a laptop, make sure you understand it uses 3 antennae. If your current NIC uses 3 antennae, it is probably 150Mb/S or greater and you will see no improvement in on-line gaming unless your Internet connection is faster than this. If your current NIC uses fewer than 3 antennae, you will need to modify your case. If your existing NIC is not 5GHz capable you may need to replace the existing antennae with multiband/broadband ones to get good 5GHz performance. Make sure your wireless router is capable of simultaneous 2.5 and 5 GHz operation and at least 300Mb/S on each (these are the N450, N600, N900, etc. routers) or you will not get the rated speed.

The desktop does not come with a wireless N card built in. In my case, I used a wireless N USB adapter, but it would be best if you are able to directly connect an ethernet cable from your router. Something to note is that although the wireless adapter worked perfectly fine if connected to the front USB ports, for some odd reason, connecting to the back USB ports would result in some occasional interference.

Yes, we installed this in an Intel NUC & currently use it with a N wifi network.

I have had the N900 for almost 2 and a half years and I am finding the limitation is really the number of devices and the amount of data it can handle. I am streaming HD content to 2 Xbox360's and 3 streams from an HD Home Run Prime Cable card tuner. I had to put both Xbox360's on the wired Ethernet because the wireless could not handle it. That is why I am looking at the AC68u.

It depends on how much that desktop will consume. Traditional desktop should work. But if you have pice or agp devices that need additional power

no. this would produce wireless for the desktop. You will need this for the laptop as well as a wireless router. You would also need a internet connection the location the router is installed

I'm trying to do the exact same thing. I have a Sony BDP N460, a blu ray player with an ethernet port but no wireless. First let me suggest what I'm currently using. The Netgear XAV101 PowerLine AV (look for the product that includes two units) which sends internet through your existing power wires. You connect an ethernet cable from your router to one of these devices plugged in to an outlet. Then take the second device and plug it in where you want internet access. Ideally you can get about 150 Mbps (when I connected to the next room). But where I need to go is across the house and the speed is at best 47 Mbps. The bottom line however is that it totally works. I can stream Netflix content (in HD) no problem. The quality is noticeable reduced, but definitely watchable, and for content you're not going to watch on blu ray disc anyways, might not be an issue. Now for the question at hand, I just received this item you are asking about. I was hoping it would grab internet wirelessly from my wireless N router. I'm thinking that yes another one may be required. For just under twice as much there is this product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00126R3P6/ which includes two wireless bridges. This may be what we're looking for. I can't understand why there isn't simply a single device that will connect wirelessly to my wireless router and give internet access to a network device. But maybe it's possible if the tech said so. I hope so otherwise I'm spending more money and I want to stick with Netgear because my experience and the general consensus is that their devices are more reliable than others. And I just noticed the post is a year old. Well maybe this will help someone.

Yes. You will need at least two units to set up a network. The "internet" signal between the units runs over the RF "TV" cables running between rooms. On one end you will connect the unit's ethernet port to your internet router. On the other end, you can connect your receiving device (computer, streaming or game box, etc.) to the second unit's ethernet port to access the internet. The device will have one RF port "in" (wall/signal) and one "out" (TV/receiver) and at least one ethernet port. Communication on the ethernet cable is two way, so you don't need an ethernet "in" and "out" port to support a single device. If you have a model with multiple ethernet ports, you can connect separate devices to each port. Yes. You will need at least two units to set up a network.
