does d link have to be wired into a router?

The idea of "wired" to a router is not the issue. It requires access to an ip address. It can do that through a physical connection or through a wifi connection. It only requires a hard line at the time of set up, after that it acts as its own video server in either a wired or wireless environment assuming you have a wireless router in your network.

As long as you have a router with a network in your home, or an access point if you're not home, that's all you need. The wifi is built in, you just have to connect to the network

Hi Bob. IF you are going to use the TR-Link device as an Access Point then yes, connect it to your wireless router using a regular RJ45 (straight-through) Cat5 cable. Regarding the power, the device came with a power supply which sends power to the TP-Link over a Cat5 cable. Hope that helped!

I'm not sure, but you can send an email to D-link, and I'm sure they will respond to your question. The link is http://support.dlink.com/ If your answer is not there, you have "customer service" and "contact support" options on the bottom of that same page.

You will need an Ethernet cable to connect to your router. This will make you system connected to your wireless network.

No, it needs a wired ethernet connection to the internet (through your router).

No, you will need to plug the switch into the router, so you will have to unplug one of your connections on the router then plug the switch into that port you can then plug the device you unplugged into one of the ports on the new switch. Hope this helps.

No, it is designed to be used with a wired router. I use the TP-LINK wired router.

Note that a reviewer of the D-Link product says:"However, if you want to run a home server, this is not the box for you. Some internet sources claim this box supports WDS, but it does not. It's only a client bridge, meaning MAC addresses and local IPs are funneled into one at the DAP1522. Your router will only see whatever device happened to send information last, preventing you from doing any port forwarding or advanced packet routing to the server."If that is correct, then using the D-Link would be exactly the same as using the the WET610N and connecting the "internet" port of any broadband router to the WET610N's single ethernet port and then plugging your devices into the router's other ports.

No it will not. The Roku device has it's own wireless link or adapter internally and the D link is really designed for use as an adapter or in more common terminology a wireless transmitter/receiver for a PC that doesn't have one so that it can talk back and forth with a router or other wireless devices. I will tell you that my D link has worked flawlessly for my SELF BUILT PC for over a year and a half now. Both the Roku and the D link require a wireless router to access the internet.

NO! The ethernet router would need to be configured to accept a DSL signal; that isn'

The unit itself is wired directly to the router. Only your PC has a wireless connection to it.

It does not need to be wired to an indoor router but I would recommend the A/C adapter be inside and run a either net cable as your power line to access point

No you don't need to connect any wires or cables but you need to configure it with your current router.
