Does this work for my desktop if my desktop does NOT have wifi built in? Will this replace my ethernet cable?

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, it will work if you do not have a wireless card. All you need is a open USB port. This will provide wireless access which will replace your Ethernet cable...

I have another computer in the living room, that has a dsl box hooked up to it, and the one in my bedroom has no dsl box, only this USB adaptor hooked to it, and I get the signals from my dsl box from it, to have internet in my bedroom. You don't have to have the ethernet cable hooked onto the one the adaptor is hooked into because of the wireless signals. I'm not all that computer savvy to explain it any other way, hope this helps.

No, this is not a wi-fi card; it's just an ethernet card. As long as your PC has an open PCI slot, the OS you're running shouldn't matter. To be sure, ask the seller.

no this is a modem that connects to a router u will need a wireless router. you would connect the cable to the modem than run a ethernet cable from the modem to your wireless router, then from there another eternet cable to your computer

Yes. This ethernet cable will work for desktop and laptop connections provided that your modem is not strictly a wireless hub.

The desktop does not come with a wireless N card built in. In my case, I used a wireless N USB adapter, but it would be best if you are able to directly connect an ethernet cable from your router. Something to note is that although the wireless adapter worked perfectly fine if connected to the front USB ports, for some odd reason, connecting to the back USB ports would result in some occasional interference.

It's hard to know how to respond, because you don't say what ports your router has - or what OS you're using.The spec is pretty complete, and yes, there is no ethernet. If this is really vital, I might try connecting this to a specific host machine (I use Firewire) and then remote mounting it on other machines. (This is easy in the mac world, and I'm sure there are Windows solutions.)Hope this helps. At least, it's probably better than, "Huh?"

It should work fine. I have mine running through an HDMI to ethernet (and then back to HDMI on the other end) adapter. As others have said, as long as it HDMI signal is sent unaltered, it should work. You may also want the 90deg adapter because it can stick out far-it just depends on how much space you have to work with.

This card is for laptop computers. It makes no sense to try and adapt it to a desktop. I suggest buying a wireless network card for your desktop. Then you will be able to connect to the internet through your wireless modem downstairs. Here is help on selecting a network card - http://www.bestnetworkcards.com/best-wireless-network-card-desktop/

Well I guess it depends on your internet provider, but I was in an apartment with one jack for an ethernet cable in the wall and plugged this product in. I plugged one ethernet cable from the wall to the device and then three ethernet cables coming out to my desktop, xbox, and sometimes even an extra xbox and never had any problems with connection. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. Helped me out for sure.

There is a driver you can download (windows 8 driver is not on the disk), but I wouldn't recommend it, as the connection is really unreliable. Take a look at TP Links instead. They have products which feed the signal through the power cables in your house, so you can essentially connect your desktop to the internet via ethernet from anywhere in the house. I had a Belkin, and it was terrible, so I bought TP Links and the connection has been vastly improved.

This item does not include a cable. You should be able to use a 100' or longer Ethernet cable.

Will it work to do what? This is not a hot spot...it's a device to turn a wired Ethernet port into wireless
1441886
no. this would produce wireless for the desktop. You will need this for the laptop as well as a wireless router. You would also need a internet connection the location the router is installed

I plugged it into a USB port in a pc that did not have wifi capabilities. ..it works great...but I am not sure about your situation
1729073
No but any Ethernet cable works fine. It's well worth the price and it worked great for me !

Yes, it's completly transparent to the operating. If you have a working wired ethernet adapter in the computer, then this will work.

No. Most desktops do not have built in WiFi capabilities. There is a USB plug that I bought through Amazon that does allow you to pick up WiFi without having to plug directly into your router.
