Does this provide a network connection as well as power? It would be great to not worry about wi-fi security.

No it does not *Edit* Let me rephrase that- This is sold as a PoE adapter for an iPad. It does not provide a network connection to an iPad.

No, you can't externally connect internet to a IPAD. This only provides power to the IPAD. The Ipad connects to the Internet via wifi or cellular connections.

I believe you can also use Ethernet over the wire using the LAN-in / LAN-out ports, but the device that you power with this would need to support wired Ethernet for this to be useful. The Ethernet in/out is probably not useful in most situations in which I imagine this device is used, e.g. with an iPad. If you had a Raspberry Pi or some other device that runs off 5V power and also has an Ethernet port, then you could use this to provide both power and Ethernet.

If you are using something that needs USB power and has an ethernet port - then yes, it has an Ethernet connection as well as power for the device. iPads don't have any ethernet ports. For very low cost WiFi to an iPad - you can purchase a Ubiquiti AirGateway for $20 - our product will power the airgateway and the iPad from the same line - and you have WiFi very close to the device.

Yes. No wireless on this model. The advantage of Power Over Ethernet is that data and power run on the same Ethernet cable... Which comes in handy if you don't have AC power near where you'd like to mount the camera.

I have no trouble with Wifi connection. I gave had the comp for quite sometime now. Hope this helps. Best.

It doesn't provide wifi *at all*. This is a DSL modem for hooking other stuff up to the Internet. What you're looking for is a wireless access point (WAP). These days they usually come integrated with a switch (4+ Ethernet jacks for connecting things without wifi or that run better over wires - you may want this), and a router (key feature is DHCP, which hands out addresses to devices - you probably need this).If you don't have an Internet connection, or you do but you already have something to hand it off to other devices, you don't want this modem/router.

No -- this needs to attach by a cable to a network connection, and then this device provides wi-fi access. You can make it secure by requiring people to log onto this wi-fi with a password, but it does not receive wi-fi from another source.

It connected to my Wi-Fi, no problem. No wire to the router or the computer.

No, this allows you to power a compatible EnGenius router or access point using the ethernet cable you are already using to send data too/from the unit to your network. In other words, one less cable, or having to locate an outlet near the unit when its installed remote (in corporate installs)

Yes it does but I connect wireless and don't have any problems with that. However the computer is slow to boot up. And don't leave it unattended too long because you will have to log back on. You can put it in sleep mode though and wake it up if you're going to be away too long. But if it's longer than a few hrs. it's going to shut down.

The answer is yes. I use mine when traveling. I wifi my hotel room and sometimes conference rooms. I run my phone, laptop and nook at the same time. It comes with a network cable and power adapter. Plug it in and your device will"see" the router, enter the password and your connected.

Since mine is broken, it's hard to remember the whole control process. But generally speaking control is via WiFi, so it's as secure as the network.

The wifi works well. Adding an external drive should not be a problem either.

Yes. You can even use a power over ethernet injector to prevent having to use a power outlet. The covers they offer are also nice.

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.

I've been using it in my work computer for a couple months now, which exclusively runs Ubuntu (Though I used 13.10 and now 14.04). No issues other than the normal Linux wifi signal strength issue that's easily solved by disabling the Power Management for the Wifi Card.

There is an Ethernet connection socket on the back. It isn't wireless (it's a desktop unit). Having said that, I bought/installed a USB wireless network adapter on the 2 units bought due to difficulties in running cable.

All power comes through the USB.No, it is not WiFi/wireless. It has to be connected via USB cable to computer.

The machine runs fine without WIFI/Ifit.....those are purely add-on benefits.w
