Well, if you have a Internet-cable-modem-cable-router-cable-WAP121 ))wifi))) kind of config, and place this AP on a different room with a long ethernet cable for example, YES it will work, you will have 2 wifi signals, one from your router and one from your WAP121. If you want to use it as a repeater, yes it can be used as a wifi repeater on a config like: Internet-cable-modem-cable-router))wifi))WAP121))morewifi))) but the performance is never as good as having it straight to a cable, I would recomend having 2 Wifi signals and use the best one on the area were you are at that time. This AP is exelent, it never "locks" or "freezes" and it has a VERY GOOD range- Hope this help :)

Yes, if you want wireless access to your network from other devices. This does not replace your router or modem. As someone else pointed out, you do need two MoCA adaptors (see reviews for options, you don't need two of these specific ones). However, if you have FiOS (or POSSIBLY other cable internet) your provider's router is already the other MoCA adaptor theta you need.

I cinfigured it as an access point to plug in my ethernet wired phones and it worked. I did read that it can be configured as a repeater, but did not try it that way.

Not sure what you have in mind, but this is not a wireless device. If you have a long enough Ethernet cable that you can run from your router to your bedroom, you can use it basically like an extension cord. You'll have to plug the Ethernet cable from your router into the TRENDnet device, and then plug in your various devices (TV, etc.) into the TRENDnet device with more Ethernet cables. Kind of defeats the purpose of wireless, but it will work. The other solution would be to invest in a wireless range extender so that your signal reaches your bedroom.

Sorta. One adapter connects your modem/router to the A/C outlet. Then you plug in the second, third, fourth adapter where ever you need to in another A/C outlet. With two ethernet ports in each outlet, you can connect whatever devices you need. There is no need to "amplify" the signal, since the signal is traveling acrtoss your homes wiring, basically, a direct, ethernet connection.

Could you please explain in more detail. Are you trying to say you would like to use this item to connect via Wi-Fi? If so, then no, you cannot do that with this item, this item is just a switch. What you need is a Wireless Router.

NO, you have to install card, or use wireless USB or use router output via Ethernet to run. Actually last is best for both bandwidth, security, and no interference if close enough to router for running Ethernet cable.

What it does is place your internet signal on the electrical lines in your place. The remote plug has an ethernet connection which you can connect directly to an ethernet port on a device. There is nothing preventing that "ethernet device" from being another Wi-Fi Access Point. Connect that ethernet cable from the remote plug to a Wireless Access Point's WAN (incoming) port and that should work as an extender. Granted you would have to buy and configure a 2nd Wireless Adapter... You might consider something like Hootoo HT-WR01.

One simple and relatively inexpensive way to "wire" your entire house with ethernet capability is to purchase a Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter (I got mine at a Big Box with blue and yellow logo :) ). The plug in adapter is connected to an available port on your router, then plugs into a wall electrical outlet. The "sister" adapter is then placed in the other area of the house where you need ethernet capability. The two adapters "find" each other in a few seconds, and you are up and running. I moved my wireless route from my desktop computer to the movie room so I could have a good connection near my AV equipment. I put the "sister" adapter where the router used to reside (at my main desktop computer). Truly wired throughout the house now. The unit uses the existing electrical wiring in your house to tranmsit. Works flawlessly for me at 100mbps. Netgear is the manufacturer. Good luck

I just plugged the device directly into the router with an Ethernet cable and it seems to do what I want it to do. I purchased a 25 ft. digital Optic cable so I could plug my PC into it to use my media player as a housewide juke box. Other than that, I don't see any reason for going wireless with it.

Theres pretty easy directions (to follow). I imagine if you're using it wired, you wont have some of the problems that other people (including myself) are having with its wireless properties. I'm going to retire mine and buy a wifi access point instead. So, basically, USED EDIMAX -7228APn for sale! From what you explained, however, all you really need is a switch http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-SF1005D-5-port-100Mbps-Desktop/dp/B000FNFSPY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393451147&sr=8-1&keywords=ethernet+switch for $10.

This is only for expanding the number of wired network ports. It is not intended or designed for wireless use.

This unit will work but only connected through an Ethernet cable and configured as an access point. If you need a unit that connects wireless to your network than you need an extender like the SR20000G.

Hello Raymond,That's the exact application I needed in my living room. My Xbox, for some reason, wasn't picking up the WiFi signal from myrouter, so I just ran an Ethernet to it and it works great. Hope this helps.JIM

Yes there should be a cord to plug into a standard outlet. Or you can power it via Ethernet cable.

No. This device is for connecting ethernet-only devices to a Wi-Fi network. What you need is a Wi-Fi router.

It's two adapters that have Ethernet ports. You plug one near your router and then using a cable connect it. You plug the second near where ever you want and plug it in. It should be that simple. If your router only has 1 port, you will need a small switch.
