Can I connect the HWREN2 to the modem using an ethernet cable to expand the wifi?

Don't see why not. Since it can be programmed via cable, there should be no reason it wouldn't work, but that isn't what it is designed for. It is a specialty piece of electronics specifically designed to pick up wifi and expand it. You could just buy any router if you want to hard wire it, don't need a special piece like this.

Yes, it will. Once it's connected to the existing router (as a booster/extender), you can then connect an Ethernet cable from it to another device that you would like to have internet access.

You need to connwct the br direcyly to the wireless roter using an ethernet cable

Yes, as long as you can connect an ethernet cable from your modem to it your fine.

No connect it to a little repeater that has an Ethernet plug. Edimax is good.

No, unless you have (1) a router that can generate two free LAN lines that can be fed to the other end of the Ethernet jack, and (2) cable wiring that is CAT5 or newer (true for all new homes/installations). A cheaper solution might be to use a switch such as TRENDnet TE100-S5 5-Port Ethernet Switch (5 x 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX RJ-45 Ports) that costs only $11.99 and will give you 4 ports instead of two.

for the initial setup you have to use the provided Ethernet cable and plug in the device to your wifi router and you can program the unit as instructed from there you will not require the cable

YES - I just installed a used WRE54G with 1.0 firmware (no ethernet port) and it had to be configured FIRST with WEP but then allowed WPA (Not WPA2)

no. you need an ethernet cable. this is a telephone cable to use in either a telephone or a fax modem (the old kind that no one uses anymore)

Yes. I did this downstairs with a second adapter to switch Ethernet to multiple devices. The first one upstairs gets Ethernet directly from my router.

If you are highly tech-savvy you might be able to. You can contact the vendor for help. I ran Ethernet cables for both of mine because we had trouble getting a wireless connection to work reliably.

Yes, you can connect the bridge (WES610N) wirelessly to your existing network and plug Ethernet devices to the bridge.

Yes you can use an ethernet cable, I used one for the same purpose and it worked

if your devices have a mini USB connector and have the software in the OS than yes you should be able to connect it the ethernet line

Sorry I can't help. This device did not meet my need. I can't remember now what I wanted it to do. I am doubtful that it would do much ethernet connecting. But please don't take that as fact

From your question, I am assuming that your friend has internet and you do not and that you want to share your friend's connection. If that is the case, then yes, you can connect the two. Your friend's ENH500 would be the access point and your ENH500 would be the bridge. The Ethernet connection at your friend's ENH500 would be plugged into their modem or router and your Ethernet connection would be plugged into your Internet connection on your computer or on your router (to give you WiFi).

No. This is only a modem. That means it can translate data between cable (coming from the wall) and Ethernet (going to your home network). If you have cable internet and you're using this modem, you will also need a "wireless router" in order to use wireless. Try searching for that.
