So can this unit be used as your main wi-fi network? Or is it ONLY a link to your current network?

Hi Matt:I bought this wireless llink almost a year ago to link my network receiver to my wi-fi network. Its function is to link to an existing wi-fi network and does not have a wireless router function. Hope this help.Steve R.

This is solely used to connect devices that only take Ethernet cables to a wireless network. So you would need a wireless network set up for this device to connect to.

The unit communicates with the wireless router. It's intended use is to hardwire A/V components into the wifi network. Works flawlessly with my Belkin wifi router.

Yes, you can connection the MYQ-G0201to a secured WiFi, in fact mine is hook up that way and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yes they can. I've only been able to get 1 of my units on my wifi but have set them all up without it

Yes, that is correct. I myself have chosen to only use for WiFi at the moment but have already verified I can add it to my Verizon account should I ever choose to.

Yes you can. Although I tired the wireless set-up, it is easy to use this as a modem only. Simply enter enter the modem, and there are admin features including turning off the wifi output. I have never had an issue doing this and I have a separate router for wifi.

This unit is designed to connect to an existing WIFI network regardless of where you are as long as there is a good enough signal for the unit to connect. Keep in mind though that some public networks do not allow extender connections or some may have a splash page where login information like a username and password may be required to connect and the extender does not have that option so it will not work.

No, you cannot use this as a router. as all have said below. it is mainly used, as others have stated, to increase how many devices you can plug into your intranet and internet.

no, its only a very good modem. Connect a router to it and you have your own wifi. I recommend having a stand alone modem and a stand alone router instead of a modem/router combined unit.

You can use just your wifi, which is what we use. It is a great ipad, our second, and my husband uses it daily!

I believe you can. But to be honest I'm currently running DD-WRT on it (which I know for a FACT will let you do it, I use DD-WRT on another router to do just that).

You can use it for either. If you use it as a 'repeater' it shows up the exact same way as it would if you were hooking up to your existing WiFi network. If you use it as a 'bridge' it uses your existing WiFi to create a new WiFi network. Both ways work fine.

Yes, you can. I am currently using 3 in different locations. You can either use them as individual access points, (names), or just your current SSID. Hope this helps.

I imagine you could, i use mine as a weather station 'forwarder' if you will, and it sends the weather station data to my main router. You will have to fiddle with the settings or flash a different firmware to it. I'ts pretty cheap, and worth experimenting with. good luck

This will not work as WIFI. It is like extending your hard wired cable without wires through your home wiring. It does however work amazingly well just like being connected at the source.

Yes, you can. I have a wireless router/switch on the end of mine, extends my wireless network for me.

Yes that is how this unit works. It will create a new WIFI network with its own SSID and password.

In theory, yes, but it was rather a PITA for me to get it to work as an extender on my network. It worked after much configuration though, so you should be able to extend the network of the TriFi network (just another Wifi network), just as if it were another router.
