what is the differents in a modem and an access point

A modem translates the coax signal from your cable company to Ethernet. An access point plugs into your local network and provides wifi access to your local network.

A modem connects your computer, via a wire (ergo, "wired" connectivity) to the physical line that was provided to you by your telephone company or ISP in order to reach the internet. You need a router to connect more than one computer to the internet through the modem. There are wireless routers that have both wired ports and, of course, the wireless access but if you already have a wired router-based network at home, you can use the WAP54G or any other wireless access point device to connect those additional computers that have a wireless capability through the existing wired router. Otherwise, you buy a wireless router (which acts as an access point) to replace the existing wired router. A pure access point device needs a router to function with multiple wireless devices.

A modem gets internet 1 line from your ISP. An access point extends from that and gives LAN ports and wireless to multiple clients.

A modem connects your network to your cable; an access point allows connections to your network. If you want to connect your computer to the internet, then you need a modem. If you want your wireless devices to connect to the internet, then you need a wireless access point AND a modem.My configuration has a cable modem (supplied by Comcast), followed by a router (so I can have more than 1 connection to the internet), followed by a wireless access point (so my wireless devices can connect.) The WAP54G cannot function as a router or as a modem; you need all 3, or you need a "wireless router". A modem connects your network to your cable; an access point allows connections to your network.

It comes with two adaptors. One you connect to the modem and to the power line. The other you put it in the room where you want the wi-fi signal. They identify each other and then you can have wi-fi in the second room.

This is only an access point. Since you already have a router this access point will work fine.

Extender amplifies a wi-fi network. Access point creates a wi-fi network from a wired network, meaning you need an ethernet cable in, to get wi fi out. The biggest pros is that it starts from a perfect signal, and also there's less interference and lost packages than an extender wi fi -&gt; wi fi. The con is you need an Ethernet cable at the point you plan to put the access point at. If you can get the cables there, I definitely recommend the access point instead of the Extender.

You will need to go to Cradlepoint's web site and find your router in the drop down list and find the latest driver for it and then read the release notes for the latest driver. It will tell you there what modem will work with your router.

I don't really understand what you are asking, but the 3 pack comes with 3 POE adapters - one for each access point. You can also purchase a POE switch that will eliminate the need for the 3 adapters.

A MAC address and serial number will be different on every modem regardless of model. You will have to buy it before you can get that information, and it will only be needed when you are ready to install and register the modem.

It is a router, firewall, AP, and switch. Very versatile devices. More powerful that cisco asa at a fraction of the price and with out the license limitations. Let me know if purchase the device and need help with configuration.

the device setup home page has an admin tab with 3 options for access point, router or repeater. not a lot of documentation or help, but it does have the choices.

To answer your question: I don't know. On personal note : This is worst modem/router i would have ever used so will never recommend it!

Yes, It works perfectly as Access Point, it support more clients and give most speed

Hi! A gateway is what you're interested in. Gateway's are a combination of cable modem and router all in one device. The advantage of a gateway is there's less clutter with only the one device. Also, there's one less device to plug into your wall outlet for power too. It's possible that your ISP might be able to supply you with a gateway, instead of a cable modem...Give them a call. Hope this helps! JM

Short answer is two ethernet cables for each access point.When I bought this 3 pack of wifi access points, each unit came with a power source, enabling power of ethernet (i.e. PoE). But, if memory serves me correctly, ethernet cables were not included. If no ethernet cables are included with each access point, then you will need to separately buy two (2) ethernet cables for each access unit. One ethernet cable will connect the PoE power source to your router (or your switch if you have a network switch sitting between these access points and your router). And, the second ethernet cable will connect the PoE power source to the access point, porting both network access and power to the unit.

What the hell is mode 1? NAT is NAT. Yes, this device can plug into an ethernet port and can run as an AP. NAT is handled automatically. If it weren't, you would get no response packets. Methinks you should read up a little on network design and rephrase what it is you are trying to do.

This not a modem this is an AP. But what you are intending would work if you connect this to your modem through a LAN cable and use the wireless SSID from netgear. I believe that you will still have to use your modem and are talking about the "weak" wireless connection through your modem. So in this case your modem is acting as modem + wireless router. Also check other high strength routers or may be amplifiers if you just want that. There should be a comparison for strengths of routers somewhere. I use this in my apt so cannot comment on the range.

No different than any other device. Go to Menu then Setup, Network Settings Access Point Settings. It will then scan the network and find your wireless router all you have to do then is put in the access code if you use one.

Yes you can buy a modem and a router. as far as features go for a modem and router now days you can find the modem and router all-in-one machine and depending on how many devices you think are going to be used simultaneously is going to determine what kind of router you're going to get if one or two devices will be being used probably just a base model will do the job anything more than that many devices I would recommend a high-performance router or the dual band router I have a high-performance router and I have several devices. I have a PC 3 Ipads and a ps3. Most of those devices are active all the time and I haven't had any issues as far as compatibility goes with your modem and router just about any router and modem will work You shouldn't have any issues it should plug right in but if it's an old modem and router they only issue your going to have is speed but if you're buying brand-new anything out there will work and you shouldn't have any issues as far as your cable signal goes whether it be a new modem and router or an old modem and router
