If you have it connected by ethernet to a hub that's connected to a wireless repeater, that should work correct?

I think the "hard wired" requirement has mostly to do with the connection from the stream device to the Tivo console. I think the communication between the two is fairly intense, as a raw .TiVo file is large and then is compressed in the Stream. If the Tivo and the Stream are both connected to the same hub, you might be OK. Also, since some wireless networks don't have very good bandwidth, you might have issues streaming HD content within the house if there's not good bandwidth between Stream and your iPad/iPhone. If the Stream is hard-wired to the same wireless access point that you're using for the connection, then you should be good there also.

Tivo states that wireless connections are not supported and that both the DVR and the Stream have to be connected to the same wired network. My Stream is connected directly to my router and works fine. My DVR is connected via an A/V power line Ethernet connection. That being said, I'm sure Amazon would allow you to return it if your setup doesn't work.

It will, you plug this device into a wired ethernet port and it will allow you to use that connection wirelessly.

Yes a repeater does work, I do have the base extension in a different structure of my property and I am using a repeater to provide a strong WiFi connection. I haven't had any problems

You set it up to connect to your wireless router and then the ports work for wired. If this does not answer you question, then provide more specifics about your infrastructure.

Yes it will work fine. Just plug er in and use it as a wireless switch. I've put several of these in and set them up that way. This thing works way better then the dumb router that my ISP makes me pay a monthly rental fee on.

The hub is wired by ethernet into your router but all the other devices work fine with house wifi, but you have to be on the same router and not using an extender for some of them. Very impressed with the simplicity of setup and ease of operation, especially over the iPhone when away from the house.

If you plugged in both units and connected the smaller of the two units to your router with an ethernet cable then it should work. No setup was required for me once I understood the small one is wired to the router and the big one goes far away where I want the wifi coverage improved. I had done the opposite (big one wired to router and small one far away where I needed improved coverage). The other thing is to try different power outlets, and look at what the lights are telling you about signal strength coming to the remote unit.

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?

Yes, if you configure it properly. Sounds like you would use the 'client' mode which makes the D-Link act as a wireless connection point for a wired Ethernet device.

Yes, in both AP and Repeater mode, the ports will connect a device to the network.

It did for me. I had intended to insert a signal using the Ethernet cable used to bring power to the repeater but in the process of doing setup and config it captured the wireless WiFi signal from across our parking lot. Its been working that way ever since. I mounted the repeater outside in the middle of three metal buildings. I stream videos and play Pandora all evening, no problem, using only the signal amplified by the repeater from across the parking lot.

I believe so. the receiver antenna will supply a hard wired Ethernet jack/signal. you can simply connect a wifi router or access point and broadcast that wifi signal in the remote area.

Hi Gene,Utilizing this item as a Universal Repeater should accomplish the task you have mentioned. Keep in mind, it will only extend WiFi signal, it will not make the connection "faster". Hope this helps (and I've enjoyed this product).K.O.

the ethernet cable works fine. i believe you need a special adapter in order to make the wireless work.

No. It works as a wireless router and has no feature to work as a wireless repeater.

Will it work to do what? This is not a hot spot...it's a device to turn a wired Ethernet port into wireless

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