Can this router handle 2 laptops, 1 on wifi and 1 on ethernet, at the same time?

Yes. I've got a dozen devices connected to wifi and have had 7 ethernet devices connected (using a switch to get beyond the 4 ethernet port max of the router) at the same time with no issues.

Yes you can but you got to do network on ethernet setup & you need A router to do it. i have 3 going on the network but on setup you must do network setup for it to work also you must install with the disk on all it does work with XP,Windows 7, Windows 8.

I have 4 laptops, two tablets, and three phones all connected to wireless. The router can handle more connections but where your limitations lie are in the speed and throughput of your internet connection. If you are trying to stream video or game on all 8 devices at once on a 2mbps line, that is not going to work well. So yes the router can connect all your devices but make sure your provider plan can support the throughput.

Yes. Any device that has an ethernet capability will work with this router.

Yes, I have two desktops that hook up via ethernet cable to the router and a laptop that is wireless. It was a very easy setup. Just hook up the printer to the router pop the disk in and install the drivers on each computer. Took 5 min. Been three months now and no issues.

For that I think you'll want a NAS unit that connects to your router by an ethernet cable. I believe this unit is simply designed for simple access from 1 computer.

I don't know the exact answer, but I strongly suspect it would work without conflict. Each of the range extenders would have to have its own network name (SSID). Even using only one range extender, the Wifi receiver on my laptop detects both my router's SSID and the network Extender's different SSID (with strength of each depending on proximity to the respective sender unit). Either can be selected and connected depending on its strength. I suspect a second range extender would just be seen as a third WiFi signal with a different name by the wireless radio of the laptop. However, I'm not a LAN expert and could be wrong about this. I don't know the exact answer, but I strongly suspect it would work without conflict.

The answer is no. This card is designed to replace an older 100 mbs network card or to add in a new system. There is no way that two (2) of these cards could be linked together in order to operate as a single network card. If you install two (2) of these cards on your system, you will have the choice to use one or the other. That is one possibility. The other is that the two cards may conflict will each other making it impossible to access the internet.

Yes. I have confirmed this by looking at the client list on my main router. So, with this unit attached to your network you have 2 wi-fi SSIDs but only 1 IP subnet.

you can use all 4 port as switch, u r going 2 b connected 2 the router via wireless, also on bridge mode

This router is dual band too. It should be able to handle 16 devices well, if the location of the router is within the range of the devices (300 ft line of sight, less across walls).

We have a wireless router for our laptops, but our desktop PCs are still wired into the router too ...in another room. So what do you suggest? I wonder if two routers in one home would work. Our Wii is in the room with the tv that we would like to install the player, so then we have to wonder about how this would effect it's wireless capabilities too.

I know we have several devices, including 2 laptops, a PS4, and an iPad. We have had people come over with their laptops, and we have not seem to be a problem with having around 5 devices supported by the router. Our Internet provider is TWC and this was one of the routers they support. It's working well so far and I hope it continues to work this way for a long time!

YES! This isn't a SPLITTER, this devices allows you to use all 4 pairs of wire in a CAT-5 cable to enable two ethernet ports. You need TWO devices per cable run. One on each end. 2 wires go to this device then to one wire. Then at the other end one wire goes to this device and two cables go out to your router/switch. Simple.

Can I use two of these wireless routers in my home. One for upstairs and one downstairs for better performance?
2232088
This can handle up to 4 wired devices and maybe 2-3 wireless connections, but it will slow the network speed, unless you have extreme speed internet.

Yes. I have two of this in an old computer i'm using as advanced router between 3 different networks. Both are working at 1000 full duplex, onboard interface just 100 full duplex.
