Can you use router mode where the internet source is coming from wifi to create your own wifi subnet?
1293356
Yes, you definitely can. This is one of the modes which is called "bridge". You creating another private WiFi network when the HooToo is configured, via very nice GUI, to hook up to your major WiFi network. This is basically the same functionality which is provided by so called "Range Extender" devices.

Absolutely. The HooToo allows you to set the internet source to either a hard-wired Ethernet connection or a WiFi source.

Yes, that is possible. From the manual: "5.1.2.2 Enable Universal Repeater Mode The router can act as Station and AP at the same time. It can use Station function to connect to a Root AP and use AP function to service all wireless stations within its coverage."

This device is meant to work in tandem with an existing wireless router. It does not replace the need for a separate WiFi router. This is not the solution for you.
2067373
Yes, you can. This little router can give internet access to any wifi enabled device.

You can't do that, you need two separate plugins on a router to do that. If your modem only has one ethernet plug, you will need to get a router to provide for more devices.

No, it's not really a router. One piece connects via ethernet cable to your modem, and the smaller piece can plug into any wall socket. The smaller piece is supposed to generate a WiFi signal, allegedly increasing your WiFi range. I didn't have good results with it. A good router works much better for increasing signal range.

No. There is no isolation or routing provided by this device. Since this is fundamentally just an access point, you can think of it as the cable you would use to connect your device directly to your modem/router/switch. If you have a router in your environment -- something to create the "guest" network, all you need to do is create that network on one physical port on the router then attach this device to that port. That will provide wireless access for the network created in the router, but all of the "smarts" is being handled by the routing device, not this one.

Yes, you can. I have a wireless router/switch on the end of mine, extends my wireless network for me.

Yes that is how this unit works. It will create a new WIFI network with its own SSID and password.
2043361
Yes you can. Although I tired the wireless set-up, it is easy to use this as a modem only. Simply enter enter the modem, and there are admin features including turning off the wifi output. I have never had an issue doing this and I have a separate router for wifi.

yes definitely! Basically you can connect any device that shares the same Ip subnet as the rest of your devices on your network. If you are always choose "automatically obtain an address" you will not even have to think about the Ip Subnet part it will be handled for you :) . The way mine is connected to my network is: - take the included Ethernet cable - plug one end into the switch - plug the other end into one of the ports (normally labeled LAN) on your routerAfter you do this any device connected either to your router or to this switch will be able to contact the internet or connect to other computers that are attached to the switch or the router. yes definitely!

Correct. The configuration is a bit complicated, but it's a fantastic router with great features if you know how to set it up.

I believe I remember a way in the setup manual but I ended up not using this router because it would not work with my router without lowering the security level and I didn't want to do that. Wish they would have said that in the product description.

Yes, depending on your configuration, you may have to configure this DSL as a bridge and use your wireless router as a router or leave the DSL modem as a router and configure your wireless router as a WIFI access point. you have flexibility with two configuration choices.

I don't believe so. I used the wizard to setup the device and it did not prompt for a guest access mode. I know exactly what you are asking, my other routers offer this feature. I hope this helps.

the router mode is the default, if your room has a ethernet line , you plug it in the router, should make it wireless. I don't know if you will have to set up your own network or not. At home, I plugged in my ethernet line to router then followed instructions, named my network, made password. I hope this helps some.

Not when I installed it. However, I found this router to be highly unreliable and stopped using it.
