Need to connect testlab to local network NetGear(WGR614). Have a Dell 2354 switch with VMware hosts and DC connect to switch. Will this work for that?

That question is well beyond my tech ability. I just used it to get my microcell working on the first floor. Sorry

No, this is a simple unmanaged switch, meaning no configuration or management capability - plug and play right out of the box. You need a more sophisticated managed enterprise switch to configure and support features such as link aggregation and VLAN creation.

I have attached to local LAN. Have not tried to use it this way. We have secure local LAN

I have never tried this but doubt it. You need to go modem > router > switch. I don't see any reason to go with what you are suggesting.

Yes it should. We are running a 2012 R2 environment with 2 hyper-v 2012 servers for testing. No through put problems. However make sure your switch is configuration supports NIC aggregation if its a smart switch. This setting can be ran and managed right from the 2012 R2 & 2012 server management console. Not sure if HP has a application for NIC aggregate like broadcom and Intel does. But the 2012 windows server series seems to handle and manage it just fine. We are also running the NICs and a single point of aggregation that gives us 4Gbps uplink to the network. It's fast!

Yes. I have tested it directly attached to a laptop and connected through a KVM switch. In both cases it works fine.

Best answer is here: ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/WNR1000_SM_WW_23Jan09.pdf The short answer to your question is this. It doesn't matter what kind of computer you are using to set it up, nor does it matter which operating system you are using. You will use a web browser to do the setup, as described in the setup manual above. The only thing I would caution out about is that you use a standard browser. Explorer or Firefox or Chrome are all good.

No, you can connect the unit directly to a standard router or switch - hub. This will link both network environments.

It will test cat6 runs for continuity and pair swaps but it's not a performance or bandwidth certification tool. It's just a basic DC tester.

I've connected my IOGear switch to a HP Pavilion running Win7 and a 12+ year old eMachine XP ... no special setups required. They both work really well. Though I needed to buy a connector for the HP because it didn't have the VGA port. I love it. One monitor, one mouse one keyboard (both wireless Microsoft 3000 models ).

Doris, I have never done this before, but there is no reason, that I can think of, why that would not work. Should not be an issue. I assumed........., based on your question, that you will have all of your peripherals (keyboard, mouse, printer, etc....) connected to the KVM switch, and that you will be switching back and forth between the two CPUs (computers). One for work and one for home?

Hi,I am using a NET GEAR power LIne wireless access port WGX102, that I bought at Best Buy for $89.Works great.One unit plugs into the wall near my router and plugs into that via a ethernet wire. The second unit is plugged in near the player with an ethernet cable plugged into that. Took a few minutes to work but it did. I am sure there are other methods to connect via wireless connection, but not even the people at the Sony store were able to help. Any kind of wireless bridge should do the trick.

It should work.. but you will have issues because every time you switch computers it will detect a new device. using a KVM is probably not the best solution. You should consider using on of the computers as a print server.

Download the Netgear Powerline Utility application from Netgear's website, install it (I've used the Mac version). It should show you the devices that are connected to your network, a local device (the "base" unit), and a remote device (the wireless-n extended unit). Click on the IP address, and that'll let you add a password (I've used a WEP password), also lets you rename the extended network (default would be Netgear). Hope this helps.

Yes. Tho it will sometimes depend on the router configuration. And you might have to forgoe the back up software as I did and reformat the drive (I am told this is not all that common). I am using a Buffalo router. But my brother had no problem with his Netgear Nighthawk. He said is was just plug and play.

I have mine installed in PCIe x4 slots on an Asus server bd running ESXi 5.1 They certainly work with VMware, no drivers needed. What slot did you install? I never heard of an x12 slot. What motherboard? They should be immediately recognized. Did you check the configuration/network adapters tab of the host?
