Will this work for just a direct connect to a laptop? Just wanted another modem for connection upstairs. Does this include an ethernet cable?

Hello Yes, this would work just fine for a direct connection to a laptop. If you try it and it doesn't work, the unit may be defective or DOA.

This is not a cable modem, so it requires an ethernet cable as an input. So it can be a replacement if it you currently have an ethernet cable into your house.

There is an Ethernet port on the bottom but from what I understand is that will only boost your wifi signal more, not turn an outlet into Ethernet. Someone else may know more about this, though.

Hi, Jeremy. Since this is a dedicated modem, you cannot finish its setup without a computer with an ethernet jack

This device is only for Ethernet connections. Your laptop probably has an Ethernet port and you will need an Ethernet cable to plug this in as well as another cable to plug the second unit into the router.

This is not an Ethernet cable. It is a HMDI cable which carries both audio and video signals between 2 devices. We use it to connect our laptop to our digital TV, using the TV as a monitor. Because it is over 50 ft. it has an amplifier to boost the signal.

Sorry cannot help you. I strictly use it to connect my Dell notebook, which does not have an Ethernet port, to my router.

This is an external USB Modem, designed for dial-up Internet only. The only thing wireless about it, is the name of the company selling it. For your wireless laptop, you need a wireless receiver, configured with you service provider's info. Hope this helps!

No, this is just a cable modem. It only has a ethernet port and a usb port.

It connects via a Cat-6 network cable with an RJ45 end. Any of the ports will work. A straight-through cable will work fine. It's a switch, not a router, so you will still need a router between this and a cable modem, unless your cable modem has an integrated router. Since you mentioned both, I would suggest just hooking up a LAN FE port on your router into any one of the ports on this switch.

This is a DSL modem. You will need to have DSL service in able to use it. I believe that this unit only has 1 Ethernet jack on the back of the unit. If you need to hook up multiple computers via Ethernet than you will need to use a switch with it. You can only hook up 1 computer to it. It does have wireless so you can hook up multiple clients wireless.

Ethernet cable in, Ethernet cables out. It's just a switch that switches from one unit to the other. If they're connected by Ethernet cables it should work. I use it to disconnect my computer from the Internet, it works great for that.

If you only need to hook up one PC, go ahead and plug it right into the modem - this will work great. Just make sure your PC's firewall is enabled! Your PC is receiving direct, unfiltered Internet when hooked up like this.

No; it is not a modem. It is only a dual-baud router, and not a very good router AT ALL. I highly recommend staying away from Cisco/Linksys dual-baud routers. I recommend ASUS routers. But to continue the answer to your question - It takes an ethernet cable from your DSL Modem as input and provides a dual-baud WiFi signal for wireless use; it also has ethernet out that you can connect your PC to or other wired devices

it has a coaxial connector. for ethernet hookup you are most likely would require a battery backup. if you are using it on a pc battery backup is your best bet, but that would run over $100.

If the laptop connects to the internet in any room why wouldn't the ethernet cable run from the laptop to the player? Seems like it should work.

If you have only ONE computer it will work with ether net hook-up! Do not waste your time & money if there is no Ethernet hook-up! It will NOT fit a phone cord hook-up.
