Yes a generic adapter will work as long as it is compatible with the Panasonic model number. I found one on amazon for $44

No wifi card needed....my pc doesnt have one either and this work great! You may need to download the installation program from the Realtek website if your adapter didnt come with an installation cd. It's a free download from Realtek if you need it.Good Luck!

How does everyone solve this I wonder! It's a real pain because wireless access points don't generally have a useable Ethernet connection. I ended up buying a devolo plug starter kit that sends the Internet around the house electric circuit. It was pricey (nearly £100 - am in uk) but it literally plugged in and worked.

just got the 8000, but need the samsung wireless adapter, no one on the web or local town has it. all listed as unavailable or out of stock, are they in the process of changing it?

The way it works is you connect it via USB to your computer, it sets up the drivers, then you would be able to connect to any router as if your desktop were now a laptop. So it should be able to connect to their wifi. Whether it is a good connection will depend on if it is in a good enough range and you can get signal there and you will need their password. So just like how a laptop connects to wifi. The last time I used one of these connectors it connected well but it ran hot (it will feel hot to the touch). Did this help?

Hello Raymond,That's the exact application I needed in my living room. My Xbox, for some reason, wasn't picking up the WiFi signal from myrouter, so I just ran an Ethernet to it and it works great. Hope this helps.JIM

Is this adaptor the only "extra" needed to connect to my home's wireless network? I have jumped thru all the hoops, manually entering my IP address/subnet mask/gateway/DNS (it didn't seem to want to detect them), and I got an error message "Other devices use this address. Set a different IP." What do I do now? Is my router blocking the connection somehow? I have not had any trouble before connecting devices to my wireless network (2 different laptops, a desktop with wireless adaptor). Any help would be appreciated...I'm not a tech expert, but with good directions I am fairly capable. Is this adaptor the only "extra" needed to connect to my home's wireless network?

I'm using Windows 8.0 and it seems to (sort of) work. While I am currently using this adapter while writing this (and it seems to be working ok), I have lots of connectivity issues when downloading anything it seems like. Whether this is a Windows 8 compatability issue, out of date drivers, or just a faulty adapter - I have no idea. At seemingly random times, the download speed will start to decrease rapidly until it loses signal completely. Unplugging it and plugging it back in is the only fix I've found so far, and that's just a temporary fix until it decides to lose the signal again. UPDATE: My computer has since updated to Windows 8.1 and the adapter no longer works at all. It can't find ANY available wifi networks to connect to (I live in an apartment complex, so typically like 20 different potential networks would show up). Also, I feel it's worth mentioning that I have a chromebook which has never had a problem connecting to my internet, so I know it's a problem with the adapter and not something else.

My unit is connected via Ethernet to my home router. The original units only worked with an analog telephone line; the newer ones can connect via Ethernet, Wi-Fi (with a USB adapter). They may or may not support analog any longer; I stopped using that technology two models prior so I cannot say with 100% certainty without ripping apart my entertainment center if that is even supported anymore, but it definitely isn't required.

You should not have a problem. In theory, adapters should be able to connect to any wireless network with a compatible signal (of course that's not always the case in reality). That being said, I've tested this adapter on several different networks, and I've never run into problems regardless of router. However, I have heard that some people can't pick up the 5.0ghz signal from other types of routers (non-Cisco/Linksys), but I don't have evidence supporting that claim other than a couple isolated instances. Good luck!

I tried to add a third XAVB2101 to my existing pair following Netgears instructions and neither one of the new adapters would work, so I would say NO: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22165/~/how-to-add-a-new-powerline-device-to-an-existing-powerline-network

It does not provide WiFi, however it has TWO LAN adapters built-in. You CANNOT use the two 1000 Mbps adapters in "team" to have 2000 Mbps. But you could use one adapter for FTP and the other for regular network traffic. Not many people do that. But, you have seven slots and not much need for them. Get a WiFi card and you should be good to go.

The item cannot get WiFi unless the WiFi is already there. In other words, all this item can do is make you get an existing WiFi signal to come in better. It sounds like you may be where there is no internet access at all? That is different. If you don't have DSL, Cable, or FiOS in your area, you may want to consider satellite.

Adapter is what goes into your computer, it's the bit that can receive wifi signal. What you need is the device that transmits the signal. It can either be wifi modem from clearwire or you can purchase a separate wifi router. I would advice the latter, plenty of choices on Amazon. Will likely be cheaper and work better.

Sorry I am wireless but ifI had to use an adapter I would use the same brand of my router (ie) Belkin, Linksys, etc, that way I would be sure of compatability
