If I'm understanding this right, could I use this essentially as a "wireless adapter" for my PC? Connect this to the main router and then to my PC?

I am not sure I understood your question. For your PC to connect wirelessly to this router it will need to have Wi-Fi capabilities, built in or through an ad-on device. On the other hand, if you connect you PC to this router using a cable (wired) you can setup a network were your PC can communicate with other wireless devices configured in the router. Of course, in order to keep you internet access this router has to be connect to your cable/DSL modem. I hope that helps.

You can use this router as a wireless access point. I have one of these routers connected to my main router in wireless repeater mode to get stronger signal in another part of my house. I also have three computers connected to the same wireless repeater via Ethernet so that I do not have to have wireless adapters for each of them to connect to my wireless network.

Need to elaborate a little bit. I can only assume that you have Ethernet cable, usually call Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable. If yes, you shouldn't have any problems connecting this and make it as a bridge wifi router, I assumed? if not, this device won't do any good for your need until you rewired with the right type of cable + connector.

I cannot answer this, as I only have a router in use with my PC and a wireless laptop; the router isn't wireless.

Hi, it was designed to connect PC to PC . . . I would contact their C/S for possible software up-date. Good Luck !!!

I think you probably can connect it hard wired to a PC, but the initial setup is to your network router. Then, once it's initially configured, it works wirelessly. Even if you unpug it for an extended time, everthing is saved in its flash memory. During the daylight it works good, but at night, the infrared reflects back thru glass windows, so its not effective that way.

The unit itself is wired directly to the router. Only your PC has a wireless connection to it.

Depends on how to want to use it. As a wireless bridge it operates over your current wireless allowing you to hook up say a computer or gaming equipment in a location that doesn't have a direct cable to your router. As an access point I imagine it has to be connected directly to your router.

You could use an n or g adapter (since n routers are backwards compatible to g), or you could use an ethernet cable. If you PC had a g or n wireless card already in it, you would not have to purchase another one.

Yes, I connected one adapter to my main wireless router downstairs. I then connected another adapter to another router upstairs to a secondary wireless router upstairs. I had good results with expanding my wireless coverage in my house.

I don't know what you have in mind to do with this item, but I doubt it is the correct object for what you have in mind. Basically this is a USB wireless adaptor that you plug into a USB port on a computer that does not have a built in wireless adaptor. Once plugged in, it allows your computer to talk to a router.

hey,thank you for your advice. first of all i have a linksys router so that would be a problem. seems like these deals are not that good and too much for a computer newbie such as me :)

You can use it as a repeater if it is connected to a computer that already has internet access. Here is a tutorial i found for setting it up on a windows machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gg0hsWN7uAOne caveat to doing it this way is that it will only be transmitting a signal if the computer is on. Another option is if you have an old wireless router lying around, that can also be used as a repeater. Hope this helps!

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

I really don't know if it will work but, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't. I really love mine but, never thought about connecting it to my router. I might give that a shot!

Hello, if I understand you, this is posible. In fact, I have my actual connection very similar to your description. Look, I have one wireless router as my internet source and this is at my living room, so because my room is so far from there I connect one tp-link(1) to this principal router through a ethernet cable and I connect the another Tp-link(2) at my room and in this point with another ethernet cable I connect another wirless router with the same internet signal, so that is magic, now I have internet covering all the place without drop signal. I hope it helps.

I'm sorry. I've only ever used it for pc connectivity and really don't know. Wish I could be more help.
