Can I connect this via the USB to my Samsung SmartTV while SIMULTANEOUSLY connecting it via LAN to my network switch or router ?

No but you should be able to connect your tv to your network and access the files on the NAS if it is DLNA compatible.

I had the same question, and so far from exeriments the answer seems to be no. Specifically if you set it up as a wireless client, it will act as a hub rebroadcasting wireless (on a new SSID) to other wireless clients, but it doesn't allow access from a 'wired client' connected to the ethernet socket.. (Which is a shame). Wonder if this might be fixable with a firmware upgrade? Would make the box even more useful...

I use it to connect my computer to the router. As long as your smart TV accepts ethernet cords you're good to go.

I had the same question, when you connect it as directed you can be LAN (USB) and it will also produce a wifi signal for those devices. It does both or either one as needed. Mine was bought used and works great.

Sorry but no, this unit will only connect to the network via a wireless connection. The LAN ports on the unit are access ports for clients not network ports.

Yes you can. It will work very well. You need to configure it with your wireless router. It will be connected to usb on your tv for power and the other cable to Ethernet connection on your tv. No drivers needed, tv "thinks" it is connected to a wired network. I used it with my Panasonic tv. It works like a charm.

I haven't tried this but as long as your PC is setup for video sharing, it should work. I can see my home network when setting up the dongle.

Make sure the TV has the connection on it then yes! Need the go into menu and indicate wired vs wifi connection also after you run wire from router.

Ours is a Samsung smart TV and I couldn't get it to work. At all. It wouldn't connect.

The switch is equivalent of you unplugging the device from one computer and then plugging it into another computer.From other comments I see it even works if you extend the output with a USB hub.I see no reason why this wouldn't work.

I forgot to add that the tv must be connected to Ethernet in order to use DLNA

To the best of my knowledge this TV will network but you need to but the accesory "dongle" to do so. I haven't had the need.

I've been running this WET610N with an 8-Port DLink switch with QOS for several months with Samsung TV, Panasonic Blu-Ray, Nintendo Wii, Seagate Freeagent Theater+, and Tivo Series 3 connected to Linksys WRT610N on the A-Channel and the computer network on the N-Network with no problems at all.

I have never tried this but doubt it. You need to go modem > router > switch. I don't see any reason to go with what you are suggesting.

It sounds like you could give the un-official FW a try. It seems to support usb to ethernet devices:http://root.unknown.sk/wdtv/wiki/doku.php?id=start

Yes, you should be able to do this, although I am not sure you've got the correct order of connection, it should be, DSL Modem > Router> switch > Devices... I have my PS3,AppleTV,Yamaha Receiver, and DirecTv connected to this switch, and the switch itself to my router and my router connected to my ISP Modem. it provides a much better and stable connection for improved streaming.

Regular Lan adaptor won't work. You have to buy one from Samsung, and it costs more that the blu Ray player. Like Sony stuff...it's propriatory!
