For TiVo to function, it needs to be connected to the internet. I previously had my TiVo close enough to my modem that I used an Ethernet cable, now it is located in a different location and this device connects the TiVo to the internet wirelessly. Works great.

it enables your tivo to communicate with the internet via your wifi network

This is Wireless Bridge. That means it connets your Tivo to the wireless network in your home. You must have a wireless network in your home to use this device. This device physically connets to your Tivo via an ethernet connection (which looks like a large phone jack connection). Bottome line, it allows your Tivo to be able to connect to the Internet via your wireless network, to download program guide information and stream content like Netflix.

No, it connects to your wireless router to provide the Tivo guide and functionality. My cable provider rents the Tivo and it must either be connected to the internet or wirelessly to the router. I found out the hard way it stops working in a location without the internet connection. If you don't have a wireless router, get a 300 speed unit. I have a 150 and there is some lag time to load the Tivo menus.

Setup is handled by the network connection. Typically you just browse to the ip address listed on the back of the device. The USB is for power only.

By USB modem, I assume you are talking about USB 3G/4G cards... if that is the case, then yes it will provide the power to the device.

Bob R.My new router has a usb connection, could that possibly used to connect an external HD for streaming purposes? ( I'm really not sure what it's for)Thanks

It acts as a usb port does on a computer. If you want to use it to connect to broadband service, I doubt it.

Would not recommend this USB modem, it has no instructions or clues as to how to use it other than it specifically acts as a dial-up modem for Internet access and for fax/data applications via a land telephone line (includes the telephone cord for connecting the same). You said you have a "modem wire" - suggesting you already have a modem and thus no need for an external modem. Maybe you need a USB connector, not a modem? Best to due more research for your specific need.

I have the Freedom Spot Photon 4G and that all I need to provide wifi hot spot for my laptop, tablet, and smart phones. I do not have USB modem. I believe it serves the same function but you can only connect to device that has USB port and only one at a time. Wayne

Dear Customer, This is a signal detector, do not need to download some data packets or the cable. We have the probe for detecting. Mambate USA IN.

Any USB port should work. The question is how it will pick up your wireless network? Can't answer that for you. That depends the signal and the environment.

Yes it should be perfect for picking up signals from farther away. I used to use mine at the RV Park. It is basically just an amplified wireless antenna receiver.It comes with a driver CD, which I just checked and it has a MAC OS 10 driver.

Yes. First thing is not get ahead of it. Its response to finding a signal is a little slow. It's a good, not great, product. Signal will drop out on occasion like others. Go with direct USB connection

As far as I know the only connections it supports are WiFi and ethernet. The USB is for file sharing.

From my experience this would need a LAN cable or a USB Stick to be able to produce a wifi signal. I will try to check for you in the coming days and will let you know

Not sure about a dongle but it works great with flash drives viewing manuals and pictures

What this unit does is it picks up your wireless signal and allows you to connect to it by ethernet cable to the device you need internet for.

My internet is clear wire and I use a wireless modem. It does have a USB connection on it, as long as you have the adapter to plug the USB in. I hope this helps you!
