My daughter is living in dorm and only her suite mates internet is working via ethernet cable. Can we use this to connect with ethernet &amp; get wifi.?

No. This device is for connecting ethernet-only devices to a Wi-Fi network. What you need is a Wi-Fi router.

It can in theory. There must be technical issues they haven't solved. I got it to work with outlets 20 feet apart. The next room, it could barely make a connection. Try it if you want but be ready to return it. My advice, a basic ethernet cable if you can do it.

Rhema; Yes, you can use this. What you will have is an ethernet connection. The speed of your internet will not keep this device from working.

If it's an ethernet connection, you'd be able to run a cable down to the room, or you would need to have a WiFi connection.

When I set up my Sonos Connect it was my only component so an Ethernet cable was required. If you have another Sonos component already connected to the internet then the Connect could be used with WiFi. As far as I know at least one of the Sonos components requires an Ethernet connection.

Not exactly. This works just like your home WiFi router except there is only the one internet input connection. You the Ethernet connection from your internet router and plug it in the mini router. Now you will have a WiFi signal from which you can connect WiFi enabled devices.

No. This is only a modem. That means it can translate data between cable (coming from the wall) and Ethernet (going to your home network). If you have cable internet and you're using this modem, you will also need a "wireless router" in order to use wireless. Try searching for that.

If that is the new gen Mac then I would say no. the WiFi is nuch faster. You dont need the Ethernet cable.

One simple and relatively inexpensive way to "wire" your entire house with ethernet capability is to purchase a Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter (I got mine at a Big Box with blue and yellow logo :) ). The plug in adapter is connected to an available port on your router, then plugs into a wall electrical outlet. The "sister" adapter is then placed in the other area of the house where you need ethernet capability. The two adapters "find" each other in a few seconds, and you are up and running. I moved my wireless route from my desktop computer to the movie room so I could have a good connection near my AV equipment. I put the "sister" adapter where the router used to reside (at my main desktop computer). Truly wired throughout the house now. The unit uses the existing electrical wiring in your house to tranmsit. Works flawlessly for me at 100mbps. Netgear is the manufacturer. Good luck

It requires a special dongle (Acer Converter) to get ethernet...I'm not sure about the speed. The keyboard is backlit.

It works fine for me. It's mostly your internet modem/router. I occasionally have this problem where my internet would randomly cut off at one point while still being connected and I'd have to refresh the page when watching YouTube videos but it's ambiguous whether it's the Ethernet cable or the ISP itself.

You need an cat5 ethernet cord. I also found the system quite buggy. Would probably gotten something else. Also wouldnt do the update but leave it as is? Troublesome but attractive hardware.

Direct connections only! It is NOT Ethernet or IP based. It simply uses UTP cable. You cannot make any cuts to the cable for any reason between the two units. No couplings, patch panels, modular jacks, switches, routers, etc.

Magicjack plus just came out. You can plug it into the wall and then connect it to the ethernet and it will work when the computer is off.

Sorry cannot help you. I strictly use it to connect my Dell notebook, which does not have an Ethernet port, to my router.

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