Can I use this without a wireless router and use only the wired port?

It might not be practical because the port for the Internet is on the bottom of the speaker. For it to work you would have to put the speaker on its side.

it has an Ethernet port but if you want to do wireless you need to buy an adapter

The WD works with a Network wire. However, you can have a Wireless connection without a wireless Modem/Router.

No. If you want to use a wireless router you have to attach a USB wireless adapter to a USB port on the pc like the media link wireless or panda wireless adapter.

Yes, you will need to plug this into one of your ports on the wireless router.

Yes, once you have configured it properly you can connect wireless and connect a wired device at the same time. FYI, if you lose connectivity for some reason unplug the Diamond, wait about 30 seconds plug it back in and it should reacquire the connection from the router.

No. You have the option to use the USB cable directly or you can configure it for wireless. You can choose either option.

Yes. Plus it into your modem and connect to it either wired or wireless. No problem. be sure to set security on the router.

no. I think you'll need a high end model (if it exists). This model is not even wireless.

It has to be hardwired or use with a Ethernet bridge. There are no wireless drivers built into it.

Yes, you need to buy a separate wireless router. I think it is called a W1000. I got mine pretty cheap though.

Yes. I am currently doing just that. Keep in mind though, it is not a WiFi router. You have to plug an Ethernet cable into it or plug an access point in it for WiFi.

Yes, you can connect it to a wired port on your router. I have done this and it works well. I would imagine that connecting it to a switch which is connected to the router would also work fine, but I haven't tried that personally.

It's not a router, but connecting one of the ports to a router might work. You'd still need a router somewhere in your network.

I think it can be con neglected to an existing wired system. Not sure about wireless. Do not buy this model. Very buggy. If you buy, get newer version

I think so. I use this modem for Ethernet connection and wireless, but it should work without a wireless connection.

I just plugged the device directly into the router with an Ethernet cable and it seems to do what I want it to do. I purchased a 25 ft. digital Optic cable so I could plug my PC into it to use my media player as a housewide juke box. Other than that, I don't see any reason for going wireless with it.
