Do I have to have another modem plugged into this this, or does it simply plug into a wall outlet?

The modem & router are on the middle level. the net gear is plugged into an outlet on the lower level totally away from the modem. It works all thru the house even in our loft. almost always get 5 bars never less then 3 and that's only for a few minutes. Which is a GREAT improvement!!

No, you do not have to have another modem plugged into it. You just plug it into an outlet somewhere that it can pick up your wireless network. Then it is supposed to extend the range of the wireless network.

Have your WiFi setup anywhere. Configure this or any extender you have using the enclosed guide to connect to the wifi. Then you're set to go. You can take this extender to any room and plug to the outlet. It will broadcast your WiFi.

It just plugs into a wall outlet. Try a few areas of your home until all the green lights are lit. You also must change your router code to the one they supply. There are easy instructions online. Hope this helps

This one does not. You will need a separate router, or else buy a combination modem + router model.

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.

It's plug in. Once you connect it to the wall, you just plug it in. So there it a cord that will hang down the wall to the outlet.

You need to plug into an outlet for it to work. The outlet is not included.

Robert,This device only plugs into USB port. It does NOT plug into a regular outlet. Purchase an outlet plug USB converter (similar to an iPod outlet charger), and plug into the wall that way.Mathew

No. It has to be plugged into the wall. The USB hookup is fine, but not necessary. You get two cables: 1. The Power Cord 2. The USB Connector I rarely use #2, but #1 is a must. =) Hope this helps. ~Mick

I bought one, a couple months back-i ran the line from my modem to the upstairs, then branched off 3 lines to different pcs. You need an electrical outlet to plug it into (110 v AC), but it handles all three PCs at full speed. If I needed to do it again, I'd buy this same unit

My internet guy says to have it in the wall plug, but I haven't tried it any other way.

The one we have plugs directly into regular wall socket. Nothing special required.

I believe mine is plugged into the wall outlet directly as per Netgear's instructions. :-) I know it's a "guy thing," we don't read instructions, but right there on page 3 of the Installation Guide says in bold red WARNING! Do not plug Powerline devices into a power strip.

It is the correct unit to interrupt the power to a modem,provided the wire from the 'mole' that plugs into wall receptacle is a double flat cable and not a shielded (coaxial) cord.It's easier to Open one conductor in flat wire.Both conductors pass through switch but one side(Smoother, hot) gets cut,stripped and each side connected to screws in switch.(explained in directions that are in the bag.Unplug unit during the installation.You can, with more patience, use it on a coaxial wire.Interrupt the center wire if you want to strip a more difficult wire.I'm Ill & retired.Call on me again if you need other help.I was in Electronics/TV Repair for 52 years.

if you want internet, you still have to connect to a modem from your internet provider and you need to plug it into the wall for electricity. if you have wifi, just plug it in and connect

Yes, it comes with a cord that you plug in an outlet, and the other end in to the modem.

It is best to plug directly into outlet. Using a extension cord will cause a slower speed. Unlike a WiFi modem this unit uses the electrical wiring in your house/business to transmit the signal so less connections and the larger wiring use from the outlets to the panel make for a faster and cleaner connection. Hope this helps.
