Can I run this from a router hooked to a cable modem?

Yes, But first of all this 4 port hub is not a router. A router is an active device that monitors it's RJ45 ports, when it senses the presence of a connection it interrogates the device, and the device hand shakes with it by requesting an IP address. The router issues the IP, no two devices on a net can not have the same IP. Only the ports 1 thru 4 should be used for port expansion. 1 is the input, leaving the other 3, the 5th Hub port is not used here. I have a 8 port Hub near my cable modem (FIOS now, was Time Warner) that remotely feeds this 4 port Hub in my garage, and it in turn feeds a second 4 port Hub in my man cave why out back. At the man cave I have a second wireless Internet Access point which is done by taking a wireless router and disabling it's DNS, so it does not issue an IP address, and acts like a Hub with a wireless access point, only one router is permitted on a network and it's viewable wireless name has to be different from the parent main wireless router. The Hub receives the data signal, re-amplifies it, and make it available locally on it's port. A CAT 5 cable has a range of 300 feet, 100 meters, by re-amplifying the signal it can be extended another 300 feet, or where ever you need a connection, etc.

Yes you can, but this is essentially a router. So you could plug your cable modem directly into this Netgear.

I am not sure I have mine hooked up to an net modem. You could always buy it if the connections are the same and if it does not work return it. Sorry!

Yes. This is a basic switch, so connecting it to your router can serve as a useful extension of wired ports off your router. I disagree with the previous answer that indicated this unit is a router. It is not. It is a switch. Your router logs into your ISP, provides firewall, implements DHCP, and possibly your wireless service (etc). This device is not capable of doing any of that.

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.

I'm sorry, I couldnt tell you. I connected mine from a cable modem/router to a pc on the other side of my home and it worked fine. Sorry I couldnt really answer your question

I have a cable modem but google it or get the online instructions, they should let you know.

Its not possible, since you needed to install drivers on a pc that detects the hdhomerun connected to your router and cable from your cable provider.

You are still going to need a service provider. This device would take the signal from a cable modem, DSL modem or other RJ45 network connection.

Hi Betty, I am not clear on exactly you are asking I guess. You should be able to take this router, connect it to your cable modem with the supplied cat5 cable and then run the setup with no problems. This is about as universal as you can get and will worth the price. Super impressed with the router so far. Hope that helps.

The answer is Yes, but the way to go is hard-wire it. I got rid of my CCK-W because it kept losing the signal and I would have to reset my router at least once a week. I finally gave in and called Directv and their tech came out, tried 2 other CCK-W units with no luck so he hard-wired it to my modem. I don't know how he did it but he didn't even run an extra Ethernet cable.

Yes. But why not connect your router to your modem, and the switch to the router?

It's pretty easy. Follow the instructions on the setup disk and select security level. Run one cable from modem to router and from router to PC. Make sure to lock it down with a good password.

It has cat 5 connections only so if your cable modem has a cat 5 out you can hook it to computer and any wireless

Sure. But if your router is not PoE, you'll need to get a power supply to the camera for it to work.

Yes, as long as you can connect an ethernet cable from your modem to it your fine.
1856834
you could, but it will have to much signal lost. maybe if you put the antenna by the router your getting the signal off.

In theory, yes. Assuming that your wiring is on the same circuit and the powerline units are able to effectively send and receive the signal...you can use them as the intermediary between your router and cable modem.

Yes you will. Most cable companies rent cable modems for a small fee on top of the regular package, and often renting a cable modem with a built in wireless router is possible, so you may not even need to purchase your own router.

Yes, as long as you have a DSL modem. This is a router. It goes between your (cable/DSL) modem & your 'puter.
