Can I use this as a wireless transceiver to feed internet to a PC also? If so, are there any limits or downsides to that?

I'm using it for a Slingbox so I assume so. I'd just get a USB wireless adapter instead if I were you.

You probably can but why would you? There are wireless devices specifically designed for PCs that are smaller and less expensive.

This is not at all like a wireless router. It will not transmit a wireless signal to another device but only work as a receiver of a wireless signal. So, if you have a wireless router, this can be plugged into a PC to receive that signal but it's not a "transceiver", only a receiver of existing wireless (such as from a wireless router).

It acts as a usb port does on a computer. If you want to use it to connect to broadband service, I doubt it.

I can not give you a answer to the question that you have asked. I used mine to increase the network connection for my PC from 10/100 to 10/100/1000. It works fine for my purpose. Ask more people!! Regards Bob

I put it behind my desktop as wireless receiver, it doesn't work well. Do not recommand for routers since it is kind big.

This is only for expanding the number of wired network ports. It is not intended or designed for wireless use.

I am going to say neither, because it is designed to only connect your network via wired or wireless. The unit has USB port to allow you to take normal usb devices such as drives and scanner and share them over your network. It isn't made to accept incoming wireless signal from a computer and grant access to the network.

I'm sorry. I've only ever used it for pc connectivity and really don't know. Wish I could be more help.

hi, no really, i have seen some articles on line that use this device to network internet over coaxial cable but not all devices will be able to read it . some directv receivers models are able to work with this equipment.

If you are highly tech-savvy you might be able to. You can contact the vendor for help. I ran Ethernet cables for both of mine because we had trouble getting a wireless connection to work reliably.

I don't think this device can be routed through you wi-fi system. You can place the transmitter so that it receives output from your computer through a headphone jack and place the receiver using a red and white RCA jack into the back of you receiver into aux. I think there are other ways to do this but this way will work with the correct cables etc.

Yes. I put a router on the receiving end. I did convert it to function as a WAP, but I'm sure it would work fine as a router.

That are varying factors involved but since this adds an entirely separate Network adapter to your computer it should then be able to connect to 5 Ghz. I am quite satisfied with mine but I connected it to a PC that did not have a wireless adapter, only an ethernet adapter. So this is the only wireless adapter on the computer. I hope this helps.

I made a mistake. It can be used to access the internet from your phone and your laptop. However you may be very disappointed in the overall performance of this device. I certainly have been.

Possibly, but why not just buy a wireless card? Only reason I can think of is if you're trying to get internet access to a non-computer device that only accepts hardwiring.

In theory it could work, but I wouldn't mess around with trying. If you're trying to create a wireless link as a bridge, buy two and set it up that way. It's simple to do and works. I've never been very successful getting stable bridges built using cross-vendor products.

Yes you can. I use it to wirelessly connect a tv/bd player but anything with an ethernet connection can be connected.

It can. I just use mine as a signal repeater for my main router downstairs, and I connect through ethernet and through wireless, and it works great on both
