Can I just use an Ethernet cable to plug this directly into my Internet router, or will I need to buy a PCI card to do that?

You can plug the ethernet cable straight into the motherboard. No need to buy yourself a PCI card for it
1044745
Yes you can. It network card and Ethernet socket are on the board already (1Gb/s) You do not need PCI card.

You can connect the motherboard to a router or switch directly with an Ethernet cable. You don't need a PCI card or anything else. There's a RJ45 network port built into the motherboard already.

Theres pretty easy directions (to follow). I imagine if you're using it wired, you wont have some of the problems that other people (including myself) are having with its wireless properties. I'm going to retire mine and buy a wifi access point instead. So, basically, USED EDIMAX -7228APn for sale! From what you explained, however, all you really need is a switch http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-SF1005D-5-port-100Mbps-Desktop/dp/B000FNFSPY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393451147&sr=8-1&keywords=ethernet+switch for $10.

Anything that has an iEthernet port can use this for internet. All this does basically is replace a long Ethernet cable with a wireless signal it pulls from your router no special drivers needed just hook to your pc the first time to log it to your network unplug it and put it wherever you want and it'll pull the wifi signal and send it through an Ethernet cable to whatever you need to have internet that didn't have wifi

Negative. You need to have a pie injector or a pie switch that provides the voltage needed to power poe devices. A standard router will not power anything via Ethernet ports.

if your talking about the internet ,yea you can use an Ethernet cord from your DSL or what ever you use. If you don't have wifi

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

If you have the right router. I don't and need to return mine. Never used it. I have an other that connects by Ethernet cable that works fine.

No, it needs a wired ethernet connection to the internet (through your router).

The unit itself is wired directly to the router. Only your PC has a wireless connection to it.

All you need is cat5 cable, the same type of cable you connect to your router. I however had very little luck using the ze102 unit. When they did work, the speed was so slow it wasn't worth using and most of the time I could not connect at all. I was on the same circuit when using the xe102 so there must have been another issue. It ended not worth my time to try to trouble shoot. Thought I got a plug and play unit and all I got was an expensive plug.

I have another computer in the living room, that has a dsl box hooked up to it, and the one in my bedroom has no dsl box, only this USB adaptor hooked to it, and I get the signals from my dsl box from it, to have internet in my bedroom. You don't have to have the ethernet cable hooked onto the one the adaptor is hooked into because of the wireless signals. I'm not all that computer savvy to explain it any other way, hope this helps.

Yes. You will need to go through a brief setup to get the ethernet connection working.

You CAN purchase (Radio Shack, etc...) an adapter that plugs into a Ethernet outlet on Router and plug USB into it.

You have to think of these units as replacements for an ethernet cable. No configuration is required and they aren't configurable. Plug the cable from the router into the unit and plug a cable to a network device into the other unit.

You only need to connect it to your computer to set it up. Once it is setup you disconnect it from your computer and install it where ever you want. You never need to connect it to your computer again. The disc that comes with the router will walk you through the setup. Of course you do need to connect it by Ethernet cable to the box you were given by your internet provider. Also you need to plug it into the wall socket.

If I understand your question, you would have to plug one module into a room where the router is and connect it via an Ethernet cable. Plug other module in the room that needs the internet connection and connect module to device with Ethernet cable. If you have another device in another room you would need to purchase an additional module, plug into the wall and connect that device with an Ethernet cable.

This device isn't meant to be hooked directly into an ethernet cable to my knowledge. It is meant to take a coax cable in and have ethernet outs. For example with FiOS, the coax cables are usually already 'hot' in that they carry the internet/tv signals ready for use. This device connects directly to the coax to then provide multiple Ethernet ports. If you're looked to take ethernet from you router and break it out into multiple ethernet connections I think you'll need a powered ethernet bridge.
