Yes, there is a Atheros AR8132 10/100 RJ45 jack on the right side of the unit.

No. The computer doesn't include wifi. However we did pay extra for technical support. It is really irrelevant what the issue was with the computer; when you purchase a computer, you don't expect to waste an entire day getting transferred around when you actually need technical support.

I'm sorry, I can't help you ... I purchased mine to be able to have WiFi access when I rearranged the furniture in my room and couldn't have direct access to my internet cable. I haven't had any problems with it.

This model doesn't have WiFi. Check their product chart for which models have which features; I don't have the model names all memorzied so...Also adding on a WiFi version will only produce a WiFi signal from that unit. It won't transform these here into WiFi versions.However, at the time I bought these they were the best wired solution available. I have four in my home for my non-wireless devices. For that purpose I'm still happy with them years later.

Dear Ansari,You did, t mention which feature is not working properly like Wi-Fi , wired or power line . How ever it appears to me their is loose electric connection some where.Please try these steps, Make sure all the connections are secure.try using different electric outlet. or totally separate from the surge protector .Then reconfigure the router from the D-link web site and make sure use the same password and pin (on the backside of your router).If you are using more than one computer , then look into the home network like password etc.I am using the same router never had any kind of issue, it is working more than my expectation .Regards,Mansoor .

Not sure how all this works? Can someone please tell me what I need to install this and what does it do? If i understand correctly, I have to already have internet set up in my home, then with this device, i can get wifi for up to serveral devices? so its like a wifi hotspot?

there is no Ethernet plug opening. It has usb opening and cord for usb connection to the computer. You do not need a power cord when you have it hooked up to the computer unless you are charging usb items. Other wise it works great.

I just ordered 2 of these for my sons for christmas. I was under the understanding that they were wifi capable when I ordered them. Now when looking on best buys website where I ordered from, it shows that they have no built in wifi. What am i missing here. Everywhere else shows this model to have wifi. HELP please, I don't want two dissappointed kids on Christmas morning!

It's wifi. No need for a cable so there's not one included. Not sure why it says that in the description.

I am not anything near computer smart. But I was given 2 plug links from a phone guy with no directions. I plugged 1 into the wall socket and the other end to the back of the computer that I have the internet set up. The 2nd plug link I plugged in and put in the back of my other computer and I can go on the internet on the 2nd computer. I just got another plug link at Amazon and added a 3rd computer it was so easy. You may have to restart the second computer when the plug link is hooked up. But it was simple. Try restarting the computer.

Yes. I have my wireless router in another room from my office where I have my desktop computer. I placed the range extender in the office and connected it to my computer with an Ethernet cable. So effectively it is being used as an access point. In my situation, the WD range extender connects through a wireless connection with my WiFi router in the other room. If you have an older router that does not have wireless capability, you can plug an Ethernet cable between the non-wireless router and the WD range extender. Then your computer can access the Internet via the WD range extender wirelessly. Just a couple of applications. This device is very reasonably priced and versatile. Yes.

This works like any wireless network adapter. You can plug it in and see any wireless access points within range. In order to connect those access points either have to be unsecured or else you have to know the access key. Either WEP or WPA usually is the preferred wireless encryption protocol they use.I use mine plugged into the extention adapter that comes with it. It allows me to set my wireless card at a higher point where it can see the wireless router better. So far I'm pleased with this card.The driver doesn't seem to come with Windows 8 so you have to download it from Cisco. This works like any wireless network adapter.

No, you have to have an internet plugin for this item. It doesn't function like a wifi hotspot.

No, not as an included option. However, WiFi cards or USB can easily be added. There are many on the market and while I do not have direct experience with them, some of them will be "Plug N Play" and can be installed as easy as plugging it into an external USB port. If you want one that is easy to install, I suggest you search "USB WiFi".
