If you mean to wireless?? not sure. I think you need to check with your cable. With my last project I needed the wireless codes to hook up. Just check first is your best option.

The unit is wired to the router. It has an "in" and "out" connection for the CAT 5 router cable

Yes it needs to be wired to a router, if it is a wireless router then you will see it over the network.

No. First you connect it with the cable and then log into settings and set it to work as a repeater and then disconnect and it will be a wireless repeater.

Nope. These newer routers can autosense straight line vs. crossover automatically, so you don't have to worry about that anymore. If you buy another model that still has the crossover port, it will be clearly marked, and usually has a switch, but those are becoming ancient history.

Automatically, no. You have to push the button for it to reconnect. And it drops the connection typically after 5 or 10 minutes of non-use.

It will auto sense the device as long as that device is the only one powered on. If you have your cable box and play station both powered on for example it will not work. If you have an Xbox and a playstation and only one is turned on then yes it will auto sense

Yes, this just indicates that it needs an incoming connection. You should have a modem from your internet company, that would plug in to the back of the router.

I'm not entirely sure about the question. When I power on my PS3 or cable box it will automatically switch to that source. Hope that helps.

No. Its only connection is thru the USB type thumb looking drive. Will not interfere with router.

It should do it automatically unless you lost power to the furnace, if it did go in to your settings and re enter your wifi password

Yes, I have it connected to my Router. My router connected to Modem and all other devices connected to Router.

Yes. I have my MacBookPro attached attached to the router via cable and the router attached to the Modem for internet service

Yes, that is one of the design functions. Connect the cable modem to the coax cable at the wall, then use a CAT 5 or 5E cable to connect to the router.

Hi James, I would connect the cable modem to the wireless router and then connect the switch to one of the outputs on the router, I think you will get better response for your wireless devices doing it this way.

You need to plug it in and configure the unit to connect with your router (fairly simple) but my experience is that these units do not work that well. I returned mine. Good luck!

It's a switch not a router. You would have the line coming from your cable/dsl modem go to a router then it would go to the switch. The router handles the natting and the dhcp. If you cable/dsl modem is also a router then you can connect it directly to this for more wired connections.
