Clarificaiton - does this need to be plugged into ethernet ALL THE TIME, or is it just for setup and will work on wifi after?

Only for setup, then it's wireless. You can remotely move/adjust it from home.

the cam will work on wifi , you only need this for set up. I had issues getting it set up and seeing the wifi on my router. i had to go into the cam using the IP address to do the final set up.

just for set up. After that you can go in through your phone app and set the wifi up

It is wireless, does not require Ethernet. However, initial Ethernet connection can be done and then used wirelessly.

The receiver has only a wired Ethernet port, but there are two ways to not have to run an Ethernet cable all the way to the router. You can easily buy a cheap wifi bridge that would plug into the Ethernet port and provide an antenna to connect to your wireless network with no drivers needed (Many cheap/used wifi routers can also be put into bridge mode to serve the same purpose). I am using powerline networking to carry the network from the router into the nearest power outlet, and then out of the power outlet by the home entertainment cabinet to a switch that serves all components that need Internet.

The device get power though the Ethernet cable that has a little block that basically "splices" two cables. That block is plugged in to the standard AC plug.You will have to provide the Ethernet cables, needing 2, and keep them short. By short I mean 75 feet from the power point to the EnGenius. You need to be rather familiar with networking IP rules, as the man is not very clear. I recommend updating the firmware from the EnGenius site before install, but that is just me. You should not have issues out of the box.

This is likely the wrong direction for you. This is if you have working WiFi, and want a wired ethernet connection. A WiFi access point or a wireless router would be what you want.

This is completely inside of your network. You'd use an Ethernet port from your wi-fi router's inside network ports to the single port unit and then have the four port unit at another spot in the house. As mentioned in reviews, make sure it's directly connected to the wall (not a power strip) at each end. I'd also make sure you regenerate the encryption keys by hitting the button on both ends within 60 seconds of each other just in case a neighbor has purchased a similar device.

You connect the dongle to your computer and insert the disc that came with it. It will guide you through the process of setting up your WiFi connection. Once completed you plug the ethernet plug into your printer where the hard line would normally go. You can use the USB for power or find a different DC power source. Pay close attention to the voltage and amperage or you could fry it.

This product is not a wifi-extender. It is a powerline adapter system which uses the existing 110VAC, 60 Hz wiring to send the internet signals from one electrical outlet to another within the house. Depending on the distance, if the apartment across the driveway is fed from the house's electrical panel then this might work for you. If not then maybe you can run a Cat 5e cable from the house to the apartment to have the ethernet signal hardwired in. From my experience the performance of Wifi extenders were spotty at best and is one reason I went with with this Powerline system instead. I hope you find this helpful.

It is WiFi enabled. The Ethernet port is just for the initial configuration to set it up.

If you use a Crossover, then you'll need a crossover on the other end as well. it runs over cat6 but is not being transferred as Ethernet. On each end the pin order must match.

By default it needs to be plugged in. I think there are wireless dongles for it also.

the ethernet cable works fine. i believe you need a special adapter in order to make the wireless work.

Yes. All you need to do is connect the plug link into one off the ethernet ports and simply connect the other plug link from the wall to the computer you are trying too get internet service on. I used this for 9 months for bringing internet to my garage and i never had any problems.

It works over wifi, very simple setup procedure. Takes around 2 minutes. It however needs to be connected via Ethernet into your modem. I use an Apple AirPort Extreme.

I have used it in a Wi-Fi set up. I used an Ethernet cable run from the unit to a wireless print server that had both USB and Ethernet ports. Never had any problems with it.

This MODEM acts as a network wireless router. As the others have said you MUST do the initial setup by connecting to your computer via an Ethernet cable. After that you can connect wirelessly. I decided to keep my Ethernet connection as it is faster and more reliable. There are three extra Ethernet ports to connect other computers or other Ethernet devices devices like my Blue Ray player streaming Net Flix and other web content.

No you cannot connect to ethernet. you can connect to WIFI only. This is a portable device why would you tie it down with a cable?
