Does the Trendnet gaming adapter require an ethernet connection? Does your wired router AND this gaming adapter have to be BOTH connected to ethernet connections when configuring?

If anyone else needs to know, Yes and No? If you have a wireED router then why do you need the "Wireless" Adapter? Just asking? Need more info. You need TWO wireless device's to talk wireless. You have to connect the Trendnet to a computer via Ethernet to configure the wireless "parameters" first. There are 2 different settings between a wired router and wireless router. Do you have wireless on the computer and you want to connect to a device wirelessly via the Trendnet for like streaming something? If you were going to use the Trendnet as a wireless connection for the "wired" router I don't believe it has the right settings. The Trendnet is designed as a Gaming Ethernet ADAPTER. The main Router, either wireless or wired, is the central gateway to anywhere, Internet, Lan, wireless, etc, and the wireless Adapter would normally talk to the wireless Router. As would a computer, etc, hooked via the ethernet would talk to the wired part of a wireless Router as "most" wireless routers usually have 4 ethernet ports also. An example would be if you had a "Network Ready" BlueRay player (non wireless, just an ethernet port) you would hook the Trendnet to the 'Player and then it could talk to the Wireless Router to stream or access the internet. The device, hooked via cable to the Trendnet, is now wireless for all intent and purposes. You configure the Trendnet as if the Computer was going to connect to the internet (like if you had a dead internal wireless card on a laptop, only hooked up by cable) and when you can surf the web OK just unplug the cable from the computer and plug it into the "device". On the DEVICE you configure the settings as if it was a CABLE/ETHERNET connection.

Yep, and when I wanted to run this from my Mac, the gaming adapter wouldn't work (requires windows) BUT I hooked up my Apple Airport Express which was even EASIER than the Linksys gaming adapter and that worked too. It seems that there are a variety of options for wirelessly streaming from Netflix. I haven't noticed any difference in the quality with these two adapters.Lovin' it.

I am currently with an Asus router and don't seem to have issues. I've got with a Linksys router issues, but have no idea what to do.Didn't have issues with Trendnet router as well

I have been using with a TrendNet TPE-S44 switch with no issues. I can't find a specification for the Ethernet DC voltage on TrendNet's web site but the input power is a 48V source. I previously used a 48V power injector, which also worked fine.

Yes. You will need to go through a brief setup to get the ethernet connection working.

I have mine connected to the coax cable from the wall and then an Ethernet cable to my router. I would assume that connecting it to the computer would work.

I don't know. It can network 4 wired connections + wireless. It works for my stereo receiver, HDTV, and computers. I don't own a game system.The intent of this router is to not lose connectivity to an online game when someone downloads a big file. So the big file downloads slower, but you get to keep playing without lag.

I used to use this with an Xbox 360 and Playststion 3 both linked to the same router. Worked fine. May need to also consult with Xbox support as well.

Yes it does. With the trend of excluding older hardware from newer computers, I don't see Ethernet going out anytime soon. It's the fastest possible connection and all business still rely on wired connection rather than range limiting wi-fi or other wireless connections.

You will have to hook-up to ethernet for a short while and download the correct drivers from the internet instead of from the CD. Here is a link (copy and paste it):http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17744/~/wna1100-release-software---version-1.1.3.26

The desktop does not come with a wireless N card built in. In my case, I used a wireless N USB adapter, but it would be best if you are able to directly connect an ethernet cable from your router. Something to note is that although the wireless adapter worked perfectly fine if connected to the front USB ports, for some odd reason, connecting to the back USB ports would result in some occasional interference.

I have the Trendnet 1750 and this adapter works perfectly with it. I have TWC 300 Mbps connection, the adapter is about 30-40 feet away, around the corner with the kitchen between the two and their are a few other 5 Ghz networks in my apartment complex, and I still easily get 200-275 Mbps at the adapter.

You can only plug-in 3 devices, one ethernet you use to connect to your internet. I used it to plug in my game systems. Three is actually not enough in my case.

Yes. I did this downstairs with a second adapter to switch Ethernet to multiple devices. The first one upstairs gets Ethernet directly from my router.

My unit is connected via Ethernet to my home router. The original units only worked with an analog telephone line; the newer ones can connect via Ethernet, Wi-Fi (with a USB adapter). They may or may not support analog any longer; I stopped using that technology two models prior so I cannot say with 100% certainty without ripping apart my entertainment center if that is even supported anymore, but it definitely isn't required.

I have another computer in the living room, that has a dsl box hooked up to it, and the one in my bedroom has no dsl box, only this USB adaptor hooked to it, and I get the signals from my dsl box from it, to have internet in my bedroom. You don't have to have the ethernet cable hooked onto the one the adaptor is hooked into because of the wireless signals. I'm not all that computer savvy to explain it any other way, hope this helps.

I'm sorry, but I dont use the ethernet; I use it wireless. I hope you find the answer your looking for. Regards.
