Why does this product seem to suggest wireless if it requires power supply cord and Ethernet cord???Do you have to string wires back inside the house for power and to the router??

Just power. To nearest outlet. Ethernet connection not required. You tube will have videos to help with set up.

You have to run power and Ethernet if you do not have a wireless connection.

You do need power. I ran mine from a lightbulb adapter. It is WiFi for the connection to the Internet. If I remember correctly you need to set it up first via a wired connection so you can tell it your WiFi network name and password.

Yes you do need to have power to it,The Ethernet is not required it goes via wifi it just has the option for Ethernet however to update you do have to connect it to the Ethernet I have only been required to do this on the initial setup.

Wireless implies that it's not "hard wired" to the internet. It receives signal via WIFI. The cable shown is. USB cable used to power and program the units.

I have mine hard wired. I don't think wireless is an option. Call the company they would know. I love my web600

You connect to the internet via an Ethernet cable to your router. I do not know how you would do it wirelessly

No. This is only a modem. That means it can translate data between cable (coming from the wall) and Ethernet (going to your home network). If you have cable internet and you're using this modem, you will also need a "wireless router" in order to use wireless. Try searching for that.

Yes, this does not have wireless capabilities. Mine came with an Ethernet cable, and of course the power adapter. I have mine plugged into a Linksys wrt54g router. When you do this you have to make sure you change the IP address on the linksys (or what ever router you choose) to 192.168.2.1. By default the linksys uses the same IP as the Zyxel modem, so that is why you have to change it for it all to work properly.

Hello Angel! To be honest I'm not sure about that. Mine isn't in the livingroom, it's in my bedroom and needs the Ethernet cord to be able to go online. Sorry I couldn't give you more then that.

I personally have it set up wireless through my router; but the instruction book states that you can use an USB-Ethernet adaptor and plug it into the USB port in the back of the unit. If you get it, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

No it does not have to be wired to your router. It will be connected wirelessly. The process takes less than a minute.

The device get power though the Ethernet cable that has a little block that basically "splices" two cables. That block is plugged in to the standard AC plug.You will have to provide the Ethernet cables, needing 2, and keep them short. By short I mean 75 feet from the power point to the EnGenius. You need to be rather familiar with networking IP rules, as the man is not very clear. I recommend updating the firmware from the EnGenius site before install, but that is just me. You should not have issues out of the box.

Is this question in reference to something else? I don't know what "wireless issue" you're talking about. And, no, the booster doesn't have to be plugged in to anything but an electrical outlet.

Not wireless. POE is power over ethernet. Keep looking. There's a similar one that is wireless.

Thank you all for your responses. One last question I have is ifIt wirelessly connect to my router, or do I need to run an Ethernet wire from this to my router?

I assume you have DSL instead of cable and are looking for a DSL modem/router to combine the modem, wired and wireless in one package. The Linksys X2000 is awful, constantly dropping the connection. I've had better luck with Actiontec GT784WN. Great setup software and support. TP-Link TD-W8960N was OK, but support is non-existent and the interface is overly complex.

You set it up to connect to your wireless router and then the ports work for wired. If this does not answer you question, then provide more specifics about your infrastructure.

You need to add a wireless card to it for wireless connection. This in inexpensive in itself.. Best buy would have and put in. You can connect via ethernet from a cable from your router however. Why not? I have At and T and it is a router with cables and also wireless... If you are a novice. The cable connects to the back of the computer with something that looks almost like a phone connection (but it isnt). Same connections (holes) should be on your router. Cables are cheap...

To create my wifi, I have:Modem -> wireless router -> Powerline.If I remember correctly, I had trouble running the router from the Powerline and creating a wifi signal.In my back office (extended by the Powerline), I have a wireless router plugged into the Powerline. The router is successfully splitting the signal into two ethernet cables, but I don't have wireless here. This could be because the router hasn't been logged into the wireless. I apologize, but my it's over my networking skills.
