My daughter has a desktop in her room but no internet connection there. would this work to connect her desktop to the wireless modem/router?

Yes it will. I have a second desktop in my bedroom and I used the Cisco for the same purpose and it works fine.

Yes - I have a desktop as well. I purchased this little guy, plugged it into my tower (USB) and was able to connect wirelessly to my modem. The signal and connection has been great, considering my router is only about 25 feet from my computer. I would recommend this device and buy again if needed.

No, this desktop computer doesn't come with any wireless network components. You'll have to connect to your router with an ethernet cable. Or you can buy a USB wireless adapter separately; this one has worked really well for me in the past: Edimax EW-7811Un 150Mbps 11n Wi-Fi USB Adapter, Nano Size Lets You Plug it and Forget it, Ideal for Raspberry Pi / Pi2, Supports Windows, Mac OS, Linux (Black/Gold)

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

Tara, my son's computer had no wifi until I purchased this little usb thingamajig. It worked very well with my router and current provider, and it is still working. I hope that helps!

I am not sure if this is the info you are looking for but here is how my router is setup. I have broadband connection that I have a normal wireless router hooked to. Across my house where my desktop is located I have the 843ND. It picks up the wireless signal and turns it into a hardwired system that my desktop and VOIP phone hook into. This has worked flawless for about 6 months now.

This device will convert from Wi-Fi to ethernet. So if your daughter's roommate has connected her ethernet cable with a wi-fi router, this device can convert that wi-fi network back to ethernet.You'd probably be better off buying a wi-fi router for the roommate and just using the wi-fi connection directly though.

Yes for sure. If your desktop is not wireless Davy you can always use an Ethernet cable

I have been using it with my HP desktop since I received it. It has worked without a glitch. Strangely when I used the desktop with the Ethernet cable I would sometimes lose internet service.

yes this will work provided you have a wireless router hooked up to your main computer. You still must havwe a wireless router hooked up to some form of internet service.

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.

There is an Ethernet connection socket on the back. It isn't wireless (it's a desktop unit). Having said that, I bought/installed a USB wireless network adapter on the 2 units bought due to difficulties in running cable.

No this is a USB device to have wireless internet on a laptop or desktop computer when you have a wireless router in your home.

In my particular case, the coax cable runs from the wall to my ARRIS modem; from there, the internet signal is carried by a network cable running from the modem to a Belkin wireless router; which is, in turn, connected to my desktop via the same type of network cable. I needed the wireless router primarily for my laptop, but my smartphone and other devices also use it. I typically use both the desktop and my laptop to work online, without issue.

I was new to Wifi also. You have to purchase and install a router that connects to your desktop PC and ( if applicable) your cable modem.

This makes your computer able to receive wifi signal. You will still need a wireless router box, depending on which internet provider you use. If you are using a laptop, it should already have a wireless adapter and you won't need to purchase this. If you are using an older desktop, you will probably need an adapter like this one, in addition to the wireless router.

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.

Yes, it will allow you to connect your desktop to a wireless router. That is what it is for. It is "dual" band because now routers sometimes come as dual band routers and you can then connect to either band. Of course, it will not give you "free" internet service where none is available. If the RV park has internet service that you have to pay for, you will still have to pay for it ... but at least this adapter will allow you to get the wireless service.
