Is there a way to add wireless to this, or is there another, similar unit with 2 ethernet and wireless? I need to make a 3-armed router.

Hi We are in the process of validating a wifi card with the new 2.1 release of pfSense. We will also be releasing another model shortly that will have 5 LAN ports.

The router is not wireless. It has only one Ethernet port and a DSL port. It must be connected to a switch to connect to more than one computer.

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?"

There is an Ethernet port on the bottom but from what I understand is that will only boost your wifi signal more, not turn an outlet into Ethernet. Someone else may know more about this, though.

This is completely inside of your network. You'd use an Ethernet port from your wi-fi router's inside network ports to the single port unit and then have the four port unit at another spot in the house. As mentioned in reviews, make sure it's directly connected to the wall (not a power strip) at each end. I'd also make sure you regenerate the encryption keys by hitting the button on both ends within 60 seconds of each other just in case a neighbor has purchased a similar device.

Wireless driver is already installed. You need to sync it with your wireless router using Ethernet cable. You can do other ways as described in instructions, but it took me long time and was unsuccessful after all. With Ethernet cable was quick and easy. I have the printer for almost a year already and it works good.I tried to do wireless and manual, but took me long time and did not work after. To save time and effort use an Ethernet cable.

You can't do that, you need two separate plugins on a router to do that. If your modem only has one ethernet plug, you will need to get a router to provide for more devices.

If your asking can you hook a wireless router to this the answer is yes. You have to connect the unit to your TV with a HDMI cable. You can also run an Ethernet cable from your modem to the unit if you do not have a router. I have all 3 of my units connected to my wireless router.

Yes you can! This router will have 4 Ethernet ports and you can connect additional devices with a switch, as well as wireless devices to the Wi-Fi connection.

If I understand your question, you would have to plug one module into a room where the router is and connect it via an Ethernet cable. Plug other module in the room that needs the internet connection and connect module to device with Ethernet cable. If you have another device in another room you would need to purchase an additional module, plug into the wall and connect that device with an Ethernet cable.

You can purchase a wireless bridge that can extend your internet access. I would personally really recommend you run ethernet directly to the unit to ensure best performance. Lmk if I can help you further!

No, this is a cable modem - not a wireless router. the Ethernet cable goes into this and out from it directly to a computer or - preferably - to a wireless router to create a wireless network.

You probably do not have a router if it only has one port, you may be talking about the modem. you should invest in a router which will add more ports to your modem first. this product does not add additional ports, it simply connects to 1 existing port. once it is connected and plugged into a power outlet, it converts it to a signal that will run through your home's power lines. this is where the second unit comes into play. when you plug in the second unit it will grab the signal and convert it again so that it will be usable with your Ethernet enabled device.

I don't quite understand your question. This is a wireless router. It has (I think 5) plugs for wired connections with the added capability of connecting to other things wirelessly. From what I've researched, having two routers is not a good idea. They will "fight" with each other to issue IP addresses and you have to do a bit of work to make one dominate and the other the slave. If the router you have is not wireless, then simply replace it with this router. I have a 2000SF house and have a strong wireless connection nearly everywhere.

Yes you can , but you need to buy separate wireless ethernet bridge adapter, they are available at amazon.

One simple and relatively inexpensive way to "wire" your entire house with ethernet capability is to purchase a Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter (I got mine at a Big Box with blue and yellow logo :) ). The plug in adapter is connected to an available port on your router, then plugs into a wall electrical outlet. The "sister" adapter is then placed in the other area of the house where you need ethernet capability. The two adapters "find" each other in a few seconds, and you are up and running. I moved my wireless route from my desktop computer to the movie room so I could have a good connection near my AV equipment. I put the "sister" adapter where the router used to reside (at my main desktop computer). Truly wired throughout the house now. The unit uses the existing electrical wiring in your house to tranmsit. Works flawlessly for me at 100mbps. Netgear is the manufacturer. Good luck

Hi, Most wireless routers come with 4 ethernet ports on the back. You can pick up some cable for around $10 and "plug" your laptop in to the router. It's as simple as putting the cable in the place where it fits on the device(s).
