Can I use a wired network or is it just wireless?

It has a standard ethernet connector and works with both wired and wireless networks. I've used it with both without any issues.

You can use them on different networks. They can also be used with a wired connection.

Wireless implies that it's not "hard wired" to the internet. It receives signal via WIFI. The cable shown is. USB cable used to power and program the units.

Yes, you can set it up for either wired or not wired from the menu. It has an Ethernet connection in the back. I have two, one wired and one Wi-Fi. Works great either way. Enjoy!

Yes, it supports both wired and wireless connections. However, there is the modest but obvious deterioration of video fidelity when using the wireless versus the wired connection. Depending on how picky you are, you may take that into consideration.

The 431dn is not wireless. It's network capable, but that is accomplished thru wires

no it's wired, I know a couple friends that have wireless and they run into the system not transmitting at times, the instructions a very bad, I called the help phone twice and got 2 different explanations on the proper way to wire it, they give you more components then you need and vague instructions that don't use all components, I ended up, after looking at the instructions (actually no instructions just a diagram), and using some common sense and it works

No. You also will need a wireless router to connect to the wired network to transmit and receive the signal. The Netgear N300 Wireless Router would be a good choice. Make sure your old PC has a USB port to plug this adapter into.

Not directly. It can be used wireless if you have a router that allows USB drives to be plugged in.

No, it does not need to be wired to your router. In fact, there is no way to direct connect to your router anyway. It will connect to your network from wherever it is placed.

Yes, in order to use a network, it only responds to a wired connection; i.e., no wifi.

No, this is used only with hard wired systems, if you install a x10 or other wireless modules you'll need to go with a wireless device compatible with them.

No, it's a wired system. Need to pay attention to wireless systems as they all seem to be transmitting on 2.4Ghz, same as some routers and phones.

Yes, you'll need an existing Internet "wired" connection., this is a router

Yes it needs to be wired, I put it next to my router and can access it from anywhere. I use computers, my iPhone, and my iPad. Works great!!!!

yes, this is how I am using it too. I have two wired computers on the WD switch which then connects to a wired port on the wireless router. All work fine.

No, just hardware the network or like others have said, use any 3rd party wireless adapter.
