I can't plug into an ethernet port for configuration. Is that the only way I can set it up? Can it just set up wirelessly?

Yes you can set it up wireless by opening a browser and going to edimax.setup.

Yes. Read instructions, which lead you through a wireless setup. Interactive instruction.

I'm not sure? I have a cheap Belkin Wireless N with 4 ethernet ports, it worked plugged into the ethernet port for me.

Ethernet plug is for setup. I have 4 of these. It useless now. The adroid App doesn't work anymore. Contact the developer with no respond and fix.

I had the same question, and so far from exeriments the answer seems to be no. Specifically if you set it up as a wireless client, it will act as a hub rebroadcasting wireless (on a new SSID) to other wireless clients, but it doesn't allow access from a 'wired client' connected to the ethernet socket.. (Which is a shame). Wonder if this might be fixable with a firmware upgrade? Would make the box even more useful...

Two suggestions are 1) Try the wired connection to perform setup. 2) Try your WiFi password.

Yes you can, it took me couple days and many hours to find that out, here is the video how to make it Bridge mode. Remember to connect it with the Ethernet cable while you are doing the set up. Be patient and enjoy this extender from an affordable Price. Good luck to you...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA9QhjjTP2o&app;=desktop

There are a bunch of "yes" answers, but no! No ethernet jack - only wireless and USB interfaces.

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.

This unit needs power. It comes with a adapter that you can plug into a local 120v outlet or you can run ethernet to it and use POE (Power over Ethernet). Either way there will be at least one cable running to it. It is wireless capable so you can use the wireless router for the ethernet connection.

I have used it in a Wi-Fi set up. I used an Ethernet cable run from the unit to a wireless print server that had both USB and Ethernet ports. Never had any problems with it.

it is not wireless capable on it's own. You connect it to your router with an ethernet cable.

Yes, just plug it in, load the configuration software on your laptop and configure. You have to do the configuration over a wired connection. Place the AP in a place that's out of sight (it kind of big) and enjoy. I have a medium sized home and one covered the whole house.

No you can run the PCs directly to the ethernet switch and plug the access point into an open port configure it and you're all set.

Yes, the latest version of the WRE54G sold by Amazon does have the ethernet port for wired setup. Or at least they did as of summer 2008. I do not think the older version is available any longer as a new product.

Yes, you can set it up for either wired or not wired from the menu. It has an Ethernet connection in the back. I have two, one wired and one Wi-Fi. Works great either way. Enjoy!

Mine came with an adapter that lets you plug in a standard ethernet cable. Haven't actually tried it though.
