I have a Macbook air, and it has no ethernet connection. How do I configure the repeater without an Ethernet connection?

You first need to set up a home network. That is done using a wired Ethernet connection through your modem & router. Once that's set up, then the extender can be configured using the correct router settings. Natalie, this unit is used only to extend your existing network range.

Dear Natalie; You can use a computer desktop or any computer with ethernet connection to set up the Diamond Multimedia (include your personal password). When the set up is done in the Unit, You can identified the Unit in your Macbook air (Vía wireless) and connecting with this using your personal password.

I think you require an Ethernet connection to configure the repeater. I use one of my old laptops that has an Ethernet connetion to do it. So maybe you can borrow someone's old computer to do it. Another work around is to obtain a USB to Ethernet adapter.

Yes, a repeater or a AP/Bridge "should" solve your problem but it depends on how you connect the devices.You would have to use the repeater to bridge the Linksys Router using WiFI then connect the bridge using the CAT5 cable to you NetGear.That being said... I wouldn't use the $200 repeater where I could use a $100 WiFi Bridge.Or you could just use the repeater as a repeater and do away with one of your WiFi Routers

This is just a portable router and repeater. You need to have an Internet connection for it to work. However, your internet connection may be wired or wireless, this product works with both.

I am not conversant with the apple time capsule but anything that is made to connect to ethernet through a cable (not USB) can be used. This device connects to the wireless network and presents itself as a wired port (actually 4) you can connect any device that can connect to a ethernet network. For example an old desktop or whatever. I have been using it without any problem for my Logitech Revue which has a bad wifi but has also a port for wired connection.

You would configure the Express wirelessly, as is usually done with any other Mac. No physical connection to a computer is ever necessary. The Express broadcasts a signal which your MBA will use to configure it with AirPort Utility located on the MBA. Although not required, you should have already updated your MBA's "AirPort Utility" to the latest version of 5.5.1 before even buying the Express. (you will recognize the signal broadcast by your Express when your MBA's AirPort card shows an "Apple Network ------", the six characters will be the last six characters of the Express's AirPort ID which will be located on the edge of the Express - you may need a magnifying glass to read them) The only required Ethernet cable to the Express would be from the modem or from the ISP's gateway device (but only if you're connecting the Express to internet access). If setting up an Express to extend the network of another Express, or an AirPort Extreme base station, or a Time Capsule, then in that case you would temporarily connect the two devices with Ethernet cable so that the Express doing the network extension could be adopted by the main base. Once that setup is completed, remove the Ethernet cable and plug the Express into the wall receptacle or electrical connection where you want it located.

Hmmm...I have the Air so I have (and did install) the R3 update to that. I don't know that I want to chance bricking the R1, so I'm back to trying a bridge. There's no USB port for the WLAN access point, so I don't know of any other way to bring the signal to the box.Thanks very much for your response.

I paired mine using my iPad. The instructions should tell you on a PC. Basically you only need to use your browser to connect the mc200air to your router, that was to use the Airplay feature. iTunes needs to be running, or you need an apple device to use airplay. The mc200air will also connect to any DLNA certified device. Outside of my needs and I can't help you there.

I have a MacBook. There is no port for it. I was able to connect using an AppleBox.

I cinfigured it as an access point to plug in my ethernet wired phones and it worked. I did read that it can be configured as a repeater, but did not try it that way.

You should be able to configure it without an Apple TV remote. We had to do the same because we lost our Apple TV remote.

I'm thinking hook up a c drive to your pc or try ask Netgear for instructions for your Macbook.

You are very welcome Melissa. The only thing you have to hook up to the repeater is an ethernet cord from the repeater to the adapter inside. That supplies the repeater with the power to run it. It's called power over ethernet. (POE) You only need 25' to 50' long enough to go from the repeater to the adapter inside. If there is anything else I can help you with like the setup or configuration, let me know.............Neal

I have an apple router extended wirelessly from my main apple router with no lan cable. Then I connected the eyez on device with a LAN cable. Everything connected and has worked without a problem for almost a year now.

No you cannot connect to ethernet. you can connect to WIFI only. This is a portable device why would you tie it down with a cable?

I have an airport express with an ethernet port. You plug in the airport express into the wall, run an ethernet cable from the Mini to the Airport Express and you're done. I use this scenario presently.

No. First you connect it with the cable and then log into settings and set it to work as a repeater and then disconnect and it will be a wireless repeater.

This is a feature I really need, conflicting answers on the same day...I've looked through the online documentation and don't see the MAC address on any configuration screen.Is there a tie breaking vote from an actual owner?
