Hello From Mediabridge!!Yes, they are all correct. This adapter will connect to any Wifi signal, but our router makes the best one ;)If you have further questions, please contact our friendly U.S. based support department and we'd be happy to help!Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support856-216-8222support@mediabridgeproducts.com

The short answer is: no you don't but your current router must support either 802.11g or 802.11n wireless protocol.

I have a buffalo router and knock on wood its working so far. The reception is seemingly degrading what used to be 4 bars is now 3 bars

No - it is running at or near the speed provided by our ISP. Nominally we pay for 60 Mbps but a speed test of the computer using this adapter currently is showing 65 Mbps. The router is at the opposite end of the house through several walls but I've had no dropouts or other problems between the Medialink and the Netgear router. The only time it's been down is when the cable modem went down for a few minutes after a lightening strike.

No you do not. I personally have some Actiontek modem/router combo. An adapter is just a means to connect to a router, so it is irrelevant as to what the router is. Sometimes matching brands for both is better, but not required. Just make sure both the adapter and router are on the same wireless protocol and bandwidth (the gHz).

Sorry no I plugged it in and it worked. Sometimes I have to point it at the router but I believe that is a computer problem not a problem with the Bolse.

I don't know. It uses an ethernet input, however, so it may work since I would assume the router is just a passthrough.

I did. works fine. make sure your router is configured right. I had to plug it into a LAN port instead of the wan port

Not with the default stock firmware from ASUS. You could flash it with third party firmware like Tomato, then the router will provide a list of websites visited and keywords searched, if enabled.

Yes! I do it all the time with Netflix and Dishanywhere. Works perfect and may take time to find the internet connection setup. I use the Asus RT-N66R Router.

You need to download the app. If you already did you need to make sure that you have "port forwarding " set up on your router.

If you google how to make your router a wireless access point you'll get detailed instructions. What it entails is to assign the Visio router (that's going to be the access point) a static IP address, turn off the the Visio router's dhcp (assuming you'll want the MediaLink to issue dynamic addresses) and run a cat 5 cable between the routers. Edit: A repeater and access point are different. Repeater is wirelessly connected to extend the base router and an access point is hardwired to the base router (your MediaLink).

You would need a Wireless Router or some other router to get you onto the Internet. You also need two MoCA devices to form a network.

It's browser based. If you are connected to the router, you should be able to configure it.

You would have to obtain a wireless adapter. We recommend Mediabridge wireless adapters. One can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Medialink-Wireless-N-USB-Adapter-Mbps/dp/B002RM08RE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1389674160&sr=8-2&keywords=media+link

I believe it comes with a 'getting started guide' to help you access the web interface for setup. Out of the box it should do basic internet routing. Its not like a Cisco IOS based router that does nothing until programmed.

You'll need to have a really strong feeder signal from your router. It says 70%, but you're going to need more like 85%

Yeah this can work once you have access to your router outside your network that this device is connected to and you should be fine

No, only the printer drivers are needed. Your router will assign a local IP address to the device, and the printer will be seen just like any other networked device.

Yes but you need to make some changes to the TP Link. Here is a site with instructions: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ConfiguringTwoWirelessRoutersWithOneSSIDNetworkNameAtHomeForFreeRoaming.aspx I did it with my FIOS router.
