It appears this connects to your network via WiFi or ethernet? Having the ethernet at the same location would be a plus, not the primary connection?

From what I remember installing it there is an Ethernet connector on the back, but as with most modern equipment it's either/or. I doubt you'd see a major difference between wired and WiFi, as long as it's not too far from your WiFi router.

It does connect either way. We have the TUXWIFIS hard wired with some switches using the WIFI.

Not sure exactly what you're asking but you can connect wirelessly by WIFI or wired to your Ethernet. Having Ethernet close benefits you by requiring a shorter wire run to the Tux.

It's only got 1 Ethernet port. With that said, I've been considering attaching a hub to it to connect more and I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work.

That is why i purchased it, not sure if it was defective, it just worked on one computer and not the other, so i have to move ethernet line to other computer when needed. For the price it may be worth a try.

As said, it connects to your existing wi-fi connection. However, it does have a LAN port as well so in the future if you ever do want to run a ethernet cord to it you can. I have mine connected over wi-fi about 125' from the router (only going through one wall) and the signal strength is perfect.

I assume it's a combined modem/router bought or rented from your ISP. The easiest workaround would be to buy a second wireless router, plug it into a line on the ISP router. You can then setup a wireless network using "your" router.

It works fine for me. It's mostly your internet modem/router. I occasionally have this problem where my internet would randomly cut off at one point while still being connected and I'd have to refresh the page when watching YouTube videos but it's ambiguous whether it's the Ethernet cable or the ISP itself.

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

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!

This is solely used to connect devices that only take Ethernet cables to a wireless network. So you would need a wireless network set up for this device to connect to.

You need to look at your network topology, not the EX4. There are a lot of different ways to get this thing visible on two networks, but be thankful that this thing doesn't act as a switch or hub, because connecting your two networks (physical or virtual) together, just plugging them into each other anyway, is more than probably going to create DHCP and DNS resolution hell.

You wouldn't want to do that. Most likely your WiFi is a router and firewall, you want to hook up all of your pc's , laptops into the router/firewall so you are protected. If your WiFi is not a router/firewall with wireless, you may want to invest in one, and that will get you four ports for ethernet connections that are secure, as well as providing a wireless connection. Plus, this connector I have found does not work on the equipment that I use.good luck.

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

May also be able to use a network cable to plug into your router. I would just plug it it in to the network to see what happens. How do you currently have it connected? Or is this going to be new?

Not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish. Does the router that it's sync-ing with have wireless capability? I would assume the router doesn't have wireless thus the need for this AP and connecting it to the router via an Ethernet. HOWEVER, the basic answer is that this device will use the Ethernet port to connect to the Router.

Move it closer to the router or use a Ethernet over powerline adapter. Lastly use another Z wave adapter as a repeater...good luck.

I use the Ethernet but I am quite sure that it can be use wireless you may have to just type in the connection number and the name of the link.

Hello, it works fine... Mine have been working for 3 years. To do what you want: 1) For example, Connect your internet ethernet to port 5 2) Computer A port 2 and Computer B to port 3 ------- (I am assuming you are connected on port 1) 3) Create 3 VLANs Name, for example where there are the VLANS DATA, Audio , Voip, etc... make yours (Alpha, Beta, Internet) 4) Then go to the specific sections where you can put a check on the ports and: and make sure all have the check in them, except for the ports you dont want to communicate. Done! If you want i can help you via team viewer, My twitter is @RomelSan
