i used this circa 2008 with Cox modem,Vista laptop, Roku box, specifically to watch Netflix. Will it still work with NEWER fast speeds & NEW Roku box?

Yes, Janie. This should work since the newer Roku supports the wireless-B standard.

This is NOT a wireless router, so you would need to run a wired connection to the Roku. This box is 10/100 speed (max - 100MBPS). The fastest typical internet in the US typically available peaks out at 50MBPS (yes, I know there are some faster but MOST people who have Crapcast top out at 50). So this device is more than adequate for what you are trying to achieve.

I use it all the time with Netflix. Works flawlessly (whenever Comcast is cooperating).

Yes. I am using 8 Windows 8.1 devices, and multiple TVs, Roku boxes, Android phones and tablets as well as several DirecTV receivers in wireless and wired situations. It should be compatible with pretty much anything that uses a wired or wireless connection.

I don't see why it shouldn't. The Roku simply picks up the wireless signal from your router. So if you can get streaming video on your computer you should also be able to get it on the Roku. You will need a subscription to Netflix or some other video service. The Roku comes with a composite video and audio cable but if you want to watch HD you'll need to purchase an HDMI cable separately. The Roku is sold at your local Wal-mar among others. If it doesn't work you can always return it so be sure to save all of the original packaging and your receipt.

I know the description says for Comcast only, but I purchased this modem in January of 2012 and plugged it in to Charter Cable and it has been rock-solid ever since. I probably should add the caveat that my subscription is for the 60MB speed level, so it's possible that this modem won't work properly with higher speed packages. I believe that the Comcast-only declaration is because this modem doesn't appear in the "approved modems" list for the other ISP's, but that's just my guess.

Do you mean will it work with Windows 8? It works with your router or modem do if they work with 8 you should be fine.

Works fine from what I can tell. I use Netflix frequently. Better than my old router.

Maybe - My extender works well but for something like Netflix I think I would try something like on of the Linksys Powerline Network Adapter Kits or something similar. I have not tried Netflix on my extender but I think that the Powerline option might offer better bandwidth & throughput.

If the Roku has an HDMI Plug, I don't see any reason not to work. Try it out

On my on experience.......I have a Roku 3 connected to my internet router with this cable and I have not had any problems of buffering issues with Netflix, Vudu, or any other video streaming service. IMO, yes, this cable is an excellent choice for streaming video content.

It will work with all routers to my knowledge. My problem was the necessity of having to pay a fee to get it set up and then interrupted streaming once we were set up with Netflix.

Thanks for the reply. I received your answer after ordering the Roku unit from Amazon, so installed it anyway. Surprise, it works just fine!

Quick Question: I have a wireless router, currently use the Netflix Roku box as wireless, router is another room..Netflix connection all works fine..does this mean this Samsung 2500 blu ray player is NOT wireless for Netflix?? Thanks-

You can use it with your router. As for connecting to multiple devices - if you are talking about connecting this to multiple devices AT THE SAME TIME, the answer is NO. This is a USB device. This will also not work with your Roku or your phone as this is mainly for laptops and desktops that are beyond your normal router range. For that purpose, this is a fabulous range extender. I got perhaps an additional 500 feet beyond my normal line of signal with a laptop. I was getting a solid three to four bars on the laptop. I am confident I could have gone further but this got a great signal to my garage and that was my primary purpose of purchase.

So Can i plug this onto my Comcast modem? Also running on 50MBPS, can i watch netflix, Hulu, and still game online without netflix and hulu stopping?

If you buy the internet adapter it should stream amazon, netflix, etc. I bought one, but it didn't work. I suggest buying a Roku instead if you want to stream. I have one, and it works extremely well.
