When the device is connected by wired LAN, can it be used as an wireless AP (access point) ?

It is my understanding that it CAN be used as an access point, but you'd have to install Arch Linux and the necessary software. You'd also need a USB wi-fi dongle that operates under linux (they don't all work). So before you go down that road make sure that you have all of the parts that will work together --- and that the tine and effort (not to mention the costs) are worth it. As a hobby, OK. But to replace a $20 access point?

Needs a dongle (which is sold separately) to operate wirelessly over a LAN.

Yes, you can if what you meant is to connect the Google box to the access point which is connected wirelessly to the network.

I cinfigured it as an access point to plug in my ethernet wired phones and it worked. I did read that it can be configured as a repeater, but did not try it that way.

Yes, in "client mode" it acts like a wireless adapter for wired connections.

Yes, I believe so. That's not how I have my TeckNet set up, but the device has two ethernet ports on the bottom; one is labelled LAN, the other is labelled WAN/LAN. The cable from your router should go to the WAN/LAN port, and once set to the mode that allows the device to act as a normal wireless access point, it should be ready to use.

No. The device you are referring to is called a "wireless bridge" (wifi repeater). This device is a wireless router that makes a wired connection accessible to wireless devices.

This is solely used to connect devices that only take Ethernet cables to a wireless network. So you would need a wireless network set up for this device to connect to.

I think you are asking if it can be an access point, the answer is yes. You may want to flash the firmware to a more recent version of Tomato, but it does support AP mode. You can also turn just about any wireless router into an AP by unplugging the WAN and disabling DHCP. The main router will hand out the DHCP for everything just fine.

I just picked this up august 2015. It CAN be used as a wired WAC (wireless access point). When u do the setup wizard it gives you the option set up as a wifi-extender or a wireless access point.

Hi Jason, I am pretty sure it cannot to use it as an access point because I believe they need to be paired to act as one anttenna, per se. You may wish to contact their support team to confirm since I am not absolutely certain.

So would I be able to connect this to a wired router and connect mutiple devices to it?

Nope. It is a bare bones access point that has 4 ports: 3 LAN (1 Internet in, 2 WLAN out) and an AC in.

Per our engineer: Probably not as this device is not very granular in feature settings and I would not recommend using it for anything other than an access point.

Sorry but no it can not. This unit, as all of our extenders, will only connect to the network via a wireless signal. If you need to connect to the network via a LAN port than you need an access point like the AP300 or AP20000G.

The access point only conveys your signal from wifi to wired. No other limitations.

yes, there is one ethernet port on the device for putting it on your network. the wifi access point needs to be connected to some other switch or router that's already on the network.
