Can i use my ethernet/rj45 cable modem as internet source instead of USB/Dongle?

I've never used it that way, but I believe it will not work. That RJ-45 is intended as a physical LAN interface and it will not accept a default route via another router accessible through it.

No. This product will not convert Ethernet into USB. It will only extend a USB 2.0 Connection (makes a long USB 2.0 extension cord)

Gigabit ethernet is backwards compatible and should work just fine with any flavor of ethernet. A USB to ethernet adapter, may or may not function at the gigabit speed, but should support other flavors of ethernet just fine. If you want up-to-date technology and maximum speed over ethernet, I would suggest the T'bolt to e'net adapter....my 2

No this is made to utilize an ethernet cable attached to device. Remember it is coming out of your modem and utilizing the home wiring system to send the signal.

No. This model has a 25 pin serial connection that requires a null modem cable to connect to a 9 pin serial port or an adapter that takes the 25 pin serial to an RJ45 connection for a cat5 patch cable to plug into.

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

No, this is just a wifi distributor of internet. To fetch information from internet, you will need either a) an RJ45 (ethernet) cable that is already connected to an internet source. or b) a usb 4g modem (like T-mobile Jet). So, in short, this just adds wifi convenience.

Unfortunately, the USB is set up to access a Hard drive, not the network. There is an Ethernet port on the back that requires HARD-WIRED to a router or hub.

Yes. It has an RJ45 jack for wired Ethernet. As a matter of fact to get it initially on your network you power it up on a hardline. Then you set it up for Wifi (if you want to) and after that you're good to go on Wifi - or Cat5e.

This question is not clear but yes you can use for Ethernet for Internet access.

Yes it could be used for that... I would suggest an upgrade in the modem as the rj45 port is only 10 mbps and I would recommend a 100 mb port to a switch then use the switch as a distribution point [as the Homeportal only has a wan port]. Then put a switch out in the house where needed connected by cat 5e or 6 wire. This will allow home traffic between devices to travel at giga speeds. Still internet speed will be extremely slow due to the DSL modem/router and there is no headroom for use by more than one person at a time. But if you have no need to distribute the signal to only one room then a wire from the DSL modem to a switch is fine and devices connected to the switch can communicate at a higher speed.

No. This modem has (1) Ethernet port. If you wish to connect an additional device to it, you must use a switch or router to add additional Ethernet ports.

The RJ45 is not an Ethernet Port. It is simply DMX512 pinned out on an RJ45 connector. So the device is not a converter but simply acting as a splitter (i.e. a mechanical adaptor).

Cable modems are not dependent on your pc/software/router because they are network bridging devices based on the TCP/IP network stack. If you're planning to use the ethernet port on the cable modem, this will work fine with any computer/router. The only exception is if you're planning to use a USB cable modem - then software and drivers do matter.

i wish i could help but i sold it b4 i can use usb to ethernet device.the wifi was weak so i think usb to ethernet would be an amazing idea and it will improve the device.tell me later what r u going to buy kik eeyeemk

Yes, no, and maybe.The modem is an "option", but I have never seen or heard of one that had this option.Mine has a port + connector, but no modem inside.If you have a USB modem, that might work.Right now I connect with the wireless or the wired network.

Yes. Just use the appropriate Ethernet cable or Cat5 cable terminated with RJ45 ends between the two mux connector. Once it is connected, it looks like a standard Ethernet link to the devices on each end. You also get the benefit of standard RJ11 in and out at each end. So, if you want a standard phone line also, just plug that into each end and it is carried over the Ethernet / Cat5 cable also. I use this device to link internet and telephone to my free standing garage from our cabin. We only had to pull one Cat5 line and the result is everything is available.
