This is simply your antenna for your computer. I put this on because of a weak signal from my network adapter to the other side of the house. This makes the receiving signal nice and strong on my desk top. So, yes, you still need a router connected to your cable outlet or where ever your connection originates. Good luck.

I have one in my RV and one at home. I have no problem with connecting to a wifi at home or on the road. I hope this helps with your decision. I use to us an usb adapter but this does a much better job.

this works like a wi-fi device as you load the drivers for it on your pc, and then you connect to your wi-fi router it increase your range to your router or other wi-fi routers. So to answer question more specific it dose both booster and network link. hope this helps

You just have to connect adapter to your network and the other adapter to the device you want to have an internet connection. No other setup is required.

Geeze people, WAKE UP!! These ARE NOT networking devices!! Period!! Let me repeat. THESE ARE NOT NETWORKING DEVICES!! Period! You receive two identical balun per package. You then connect the two together using Cat5 or Cat6 cabling which have RJ45 connectors on each end. Using Cat5 or Cat6 cabling is ONLY, and I repeat ONLY FOR C0NNECTING THE TWO BALUNS TOGETHER! These ARE NOT networking devices!!! These devices are used to EXTEND a video signal and/or power! Nothing more!! THESE ARE NOT NETWORKING DEVICES!! PERIOD!! Just because they use Cat5 or Cat6 cabling... DOES NOT MAKE THEM NETWORK DEVICES!! If you INSIST on thinking these are network devices, YOU WILL DO SERIOUS HARM TO YOUR NETWORKING SYSTEM!! PERIOD!! Ok, now for those who are still not getting the message here.... THESE A-R-E N-O-T , repeat, A-R-E N-O-T NETWORKING DEVICES!! PERIOD!!!

No, this is a pretty terrible product in my experience. The only way to use it at all is with the network mode. Save yourself the trouble and just buy a stand alone hard drive.

Hi, I'm not really an expert in networking. But I know I have attached this to my linksys router and it also works. Hope that helps.

I purchased the Wi-Fi network adapter...sorry to inform you, that it did not work for me.I called the seller of this product and the followed detail instructions given me...This Wi-Fi did not work for me. Perhaps you will have better luck than I...to me this purchase was a waste of money.

This works good. I had no problem with the setup. I also like the you can attach an external usb drive and share on your network.

I have no idea. I think it did not work on just my Windows 7 computer, but probably works on others. It does work on my Vista computer. I bought a refurbed Netgear adapter and it works perfectly and is $6 cheaper.

You can take item and router to Radio Shack and they will sale you an adapter. The booster antenna works great!!!!

When I used this I connected to my network with Cat5. I prefer wired to wireless. I had read about people buying USB WiFi adapters & using those, I never tried it. I felt this card drastically improve the performance of videos.

Included with this device is a power supply, but what you'll need is a length of coax cable (the same type which carries the TV /cable signal) to carry the power from the adapter to the booster. This was not included in my package. The length required will of course depend on how far away the splitter is from the power outlet.

Its alfa - the booster is fine - it works - the booster attached to the wireles router to re broadcast the signal [ so that for example an ipad can use it ] does not work at all.

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.

you would need 3 boosters 1 for each, no kind of splitter that I know off. would work really good! would add bigger antennnas too! or get a different router with 1 removable ext antenna instead of 3?

I'm using Windows 8.0 and it seems to (sort of) work. While I am currently using this adapter while writing this (and it seems to be working ok), I have lots of connectivity issues when downloading anything it seems like. Whether this is a Windows 8 compatability issue, out of date drivers, or just a faulty adapter - I have no idea. At seemingly random times, the download speed will start to decrease rapidly until it loses signal completely. Unplugging it and plugging it back in is the only fix I've found so far, and that's just a temporary fix until it decides to lose the signal again. UPDATE: My computer has since updated to Windows 8.1 and the adapter no longer works at all. It can't find ANY available wifi networks to connect to (I live in an apartment complex, so typically like 20 different potential networks would show up). Also, I feel it's worth mentioning that I have a chromebook which has never had a problem connecting to my internet, so I know it's a problem with the adapter and not something else.

I am sorry, I do not know about the link for the driver. Mine came with a cd. I still could not get mine to work. It is probably just me and the hook up. My eithernet port went bad so I thought I would try it this way. So far--no luck----good luck

Hello, it works fine... Mine have been working for 3 years. To do what you want: 1) For example, Connect your internet ethernet to port 5 2) Computer A port 2 and Computer B to port 3 ------- (I am assuming you are connected on port 1) 3) Create 3 VLANs Name, for example where there are the VLANS DATA, Audio , Voip, etc... make yours (Alpha, Beta, Internet) 4) Then go to the specific sections where you can put a check on the ports and: and make sure all have the check in them, except for the ports you dont want to communicate. Done! If you want i can help you via team viewer, My twitter is @RomelSan
