Does this device have a client mode like the TP-Link TL-WR702N - essentially connecting to an ethernet device via rj45 and acts as a wireless adapter?

The device acts as a wireless router and a wireless bridge (aka wireless extender), according to the Amazon page and manual. I have personally powered it up and plugged in a USB thumb drive. I was able to successfully access the files on it from my iPad using the HooToo TripMate app. I'm sure that one could access the files via a laptop or desktop browser as well. I have not yet tested it plugged into my Internet access, nor have I tested it as a wireless extender.

I had the same question, and so far from exeriments the answer seems to be no. Specifically if you set it up as a wireless client, it will act as a hub rebroadcasting wireless (on a new SSID) to other wireless clients, but it doesn't allow access from a 'wired client' connected to the ethernet socket.. (Which is a shame). Wonder if this might be fixable with a firmware upgrade? Would make the box even more useful...

You may want to consider a nano router that runs OpenWrt, such as the GL.iNet GL-AR150 (ASIN: B015CYDVG8), GL-MT300N (ASIN: B01AL7P1FU), or GL-AR150-ext (ASIN: B015CYI8DY), which all have USB file sharing. The access modes on my GL-MT300N are: Access Point, Client, Ad-Hoc, 802.11s, Pseudo Ad-Hoc, Monitor, Access Point (WDS), Client (WDS). The OpenWrt wiki has more details. However, OpenWrt can be more complex than other router firmware.

No, it does not have a client "wireless adapter" mode as you describe. It can be put into "Bridge" mode and used as a repeater via WiFi but the RJ45 ethernet port is not bridged to the wifi port. I've been digging around in the internals of it however and the possibility exists that it can be patched to provide this capability.

Mine came with an adapter that lets you plug in a standard ethernet cable. Haven't actually tried it though.

I hope I am understanding your question, but one of its operating modes is as a router - that is how I use it. It connects one side to an existing wired network and then creates a wireless network with its own SSID. Any wifi device can then connect to that network and through it to the main network. This is the way I use it - to connect to say a hotel wired network and allow all my wifi devices to then connect through it.

YES. I purchased this last week through Amazon Prime and it DID come with built in-wifi adapter. I configured it and am using it instead of the ethernet cable.

Yes, but I've only used it with the built-in Windows wireless client on an XP machine. Some older XP PC's have 3rd party clients installed. The main thing you want to do is download and install the latest firmware from Cisco. If you're not sure how to do this, ask someone for help, as it's not always easy. I had problems with wireless speed until I installed the latest firmware.

It sounds like you could give the un-official FW a try. It seems to support usb to ethernet devices:http://root.unknown.sk/wdtv/wiki/doku.php?id=start

This unit (TP-LINK SG1024DE) does not have any wireless interface built in. I have it plugged in to my Airport Extreme (the AE gives me wireless service), and the TP-LINK handles the wired traffic.

I have connected this device as a repeater, and the wired ports work fine along the wifi. This device also works as a wifi router, maybe you have misconfigured it?

Contrary to the description, this does not function as a client router like the older 743 did. I bought one of these to replace a 743 in a remote location, and it could not do the job. The 743 could be put in true client router mode with dhcp off and then connected via wifi to your existing router/access point and you'd be on your same LAN. TP-Link eventually told me it couldn't do it. Maybe they updated the firmware by now.

No, your router have internal antenas I recomend to you to use the ASUS (EA-N66) Dual Band N450 Ultra-Fast Wireless 3-In-1 (AP, Repeater, Ethernet Adapter) Adapter With High-Power and you can use it as a repeter. I love the product, if you are goin to buy it read the instructions from asus website.

Not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish. Does the router that it's sync-ing with have wireless capability? I would assume the router doesn't have wireless thus the need for this AP and connecting it to the router via an Ethernet. HOWEVER, the basic answer is that this device will use the Ethernet port to connect to the Router.

desktop ==== 2-Port RJ45 Splitter ====== router? what do you mean by connecting this to a desktop?

Negative. This wireless nic has ap mode but not repeater mode. Tplink makes a.wireless repeater that does.whT your asking for

http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WR541G There is some information about it in its website:"WDS wireless bridge provides seamless bridge to expand wireless network". Based on this, I think it can provide this function, although I have not used this function. You can make it with the reference in Google: http://www.google.com/#newwindow=1&safe=strict&q=how+to+TP-Link+WR541+bridge&oq=how+to+TP-Link+WR541+bridge Good luck!
