If I connect the Ethernet cable to a wifi router, will the router give out wifi?

Depends on your set up...if you are running Ethernet from a modem, and through the power line adapter, and then into a wireless router...yeah it should work

Yes. I run the signal from my DSL modem into the adapter and to my office where I run an Ethernet cable from the adapter to my router and transmit wireless to the whole house. My office is more central to the house and the router works great from there.

Kit comes with 2 adapters. You plug one adapter to your modem or DSL box using Ethernet cable. The other connects with any internet device you want. So if it's a router, that should give out wifi. I wanted to get the scenario correct. I hope that helps.

Yes, the router sends out the SSID. I have six different devices via WiFi and two via hardwire connected to the router.

I agree with Amanda's comment. Ethernet cable from router to computer is only for the initial set-up.

In a word, NO. It has to be connected to a router that assigns internal IP addresses. That would be either your cable/DSL 'modem' or to something like an Apple Airport that has an ethernet jack.

You will need an Ethernet cable to connect to your router. This will make you system connected to your wireless network.

Yep. In fact, that's the main reason I purchased this item.It all depends on the actual router whose signal your extending.

Yes. When you plug the router in and connect it to your home network, everything on the network connects automatically.

I don't know. It uses an ethernet input, however, so it may work since I would assume the router is just a passthrough.

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

It has a POE, Cat5 plugs into one end going to the device and a Cat5 on the other end going directly to my home router. I have it as my access point, then I have a bridge over at my brother's house (same device). It cannot connect wirelessly to your home router.

Kinda yes. It does not need wifi signal coming in, which is good. The base station adapter connects to your router by Cat 5, and plugs in the 110v wall plug. The "extender", which is a bad name, can then go anywhere in your house, and gets the internet signal through the 110v plug. Then broadcasts its own Wifi signal along with two Cat5 ports if you need those.

"CAUTION:Do not use an Ethernet cable to connect the extender to a WiFi router. Ifyou do so, the extender does not work because it is designed to use only aWiFi connection to a WiFi router." Excerpt from the Model EX6200 User Manual .

No. This is a modem with one ethernet cable output. You will need a separate wireless router if you want to share internet connection with other devices.

In my set up, yes. If you are connecting straight from the cable modem, I don't think so. A cable modem is most likely only going to give out one IP address. However, I have a wireless router connected to the cable modem, so the router handles IP address assignment. I then have a 100' ethernet cable running form the router to this switch. I can have up to four devices connected to the switch at the same time and all will have internet access. Right now I have two connected. Hope that helps to clarify.

Yes. I did this downstairs with a second adapter to switch Ethernet to multiple devices. The first one upstairs gets Ethernet directly from my router.

You don't need an ethernet cable from this router to your PC. You only need an ethernet cable from the cable company modem to the router.

Sorry cannot help you. I strictly use it to connect my Dell notebook, which does not have an Ethernet port, to my router.
