Yes, it is a long range radio that works with Power Over Ethernet . You can use the enclosed power injector at your wireless router where you plug in to your home ac supply. The Ethernet connection will be plugged in like any other hardwired device on the LAN connectors. You will need a short Ethernet cable from the POE plug to your router (if placed together a 1' or 3' cable will work nice).

Normally, you would connect it to your router or DSL modem directly with an RJ45 cable. It is powered by a POE adapter that comes with it. You plug the POE adapter into AC power. The POE adapter has 2 RJ45 jacks. One goes to your router and the other to the WA5210G. The one going to the 5210 carries both data and power and can be quite long allowing placement out doors.

Hi Bob. IF you are going to use the TR-Link device as an Access Point then yes, connect it to your wireless router using a regular RJ45 (straight-through) Cat5 cable. Regarding the power, the device came with a power supply which sends power to the TP-Link over a Cat5 cable. Hope that helped!

You'll need to connect the TP-Link to your wireless router via a standard RJ45 ethernet cable - actually you'll need two. One (included) is generally used to connect your router to the included power inserter. The second (not included) runs from the power inserter to the TP-Link. If you're going to mount the TP-Link outside with very exposed cable run, then you might want to consider a direct burial grade ethernet cable. For a short and somewhat protected run I don't think you'd have a problem using a standard cable, YMMV.

What do you want to use this unit for (extender, access point, bridge)? This unit comes with a POE injector (Power Over Ethernet), so you will need two Ethernet Cat5 cables. One from your switch(router) to the POE injector (data only) and a second one (POE + Data) to the unit itself. The POE injector comes with its own power supply which supplies power to the unit as well.

Your cable provider will Issue IP and DHCP. PW is meant for your wireless router. Hopefully that helps.

What I would recommend is to plug your modem into a router that has at least WPA2 security options then plug the TP-Link to the router. Why you may ask? You should never connect your computer through the modem without a router, its like going to war without weapons. By having the modem connected to a router then the tp-link you have a line of defense for internet threats. If you do not already have a router, please do yourself a favor and buy one, it will save you in the longrun they are currently fairly cheap.

No, this allows you to power a compatible EnGenius router or access point using the ethernet cable you are already using to send data too/from the unit to your network. In other words, one less cable, or having to locate an outlet near the unit when its installed remote (in corporate installs)

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

According to Dish data,(tech.dishnetwork.com and serch for "home networking") only one HomePlug-to-Ethernet adapter is needed. The router is connected to the home plug and the ViP722 power cord is directly pluged into the AC plug. See reference above for more descriptive info.

I found this at http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/TP-LINK-TL-R460-router-desktop/3119184.aspx Power Device Frequency Required: 50 Hz Power Consumption Operational: 3.6 Watt Type: External power adapter Dont know if thats what you need.

No, this will only allow a hardwire connection. You would need this kit: TP-LINK TL-WPA281 KIT 300Mbps Wireless N Powerline Adapter Starter Kit, 2.4Ghz N300 Adapter + 200Mbps Adapter, 802.11b/g/n

Yes works very. You plug in the Ethernet cable and power adpater to power and router or switch. Then run a ethernet cable to unit left side bottom i think and this powers up the unit

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.

I used to have Cisco WRT54G router to work with this repeater. I noticed that the entire wireless network slowed down to under 10Mbps, while the cable service rate is 50Mbps. Recently I switched to Netgear AC router, and found that only those devices connected to this repeater got downgraded in data rate while others connected to the main AC router remained at 50Mbps.

Do not need to activate, there is no after cost. Cable plugs in to modem, and then you use an RJ45 cable to connect to your modem via the yellow port on the router. everything should be covered in quick setup guide.

I would not buy this one. I replaced mine with a TP-Link router and it is a way better router and really easy to connect to. I left feed back on the one I bought to.Have a nice dayTed

The kit comes with two units in it: TP-LINK TL-WPA281 KIT 300Mbps Wireless N Powerline Adapter Starter Kit, 2.4Ghz N300 Adapter + 200Mbps Adapter, 802.11b/g/n by TP-LINK. So you get the base unit and one extension, a really good deal as the extension unit is only an additional $18.
