does not share internet

It's a switch not a router. You would have the line coming from your cable/dsl modem go to a router then it would go to the switch. The router handles the natting and the dhcp. If you cable/dsl modem is also a router then you can connect it directly to this for more wired connections.

Not sure exactly what your question is. This is a switch which does not connect directly to the internet - you need to attach it to a switch port on a router if you want to allow access to the internet. If you are having difficulty and it is attached to a router then you may want to try a different port on the device. If the second port works, then I would suggest returning the device for a new one. If not of the ports work, I would also recommend returning for a new one. I have two of the devices and they work extremely well.

You'll need to be more specific, but this is not a router a router will take your internet connection and share it, it has whats called built in DHCP which basically hands out IP addresses on a subnetwork to allow your PC's to talk. The router in turn gets your internets IP adress, typically you only get one so you have to share it with many computers in your home. A switch merely splits the router it doesn't hand out ip address on its own. Think of it like a surge protector getting power and sharing it with others, then another power strip that is also connected to the surge protector, with out that first surge protector the other would have no power of its own. Not the best analogy but i hope it helps. If this is not your exact issue please post more details.

it's basically used to connect 5 additional computers to a network to share files and or internet if connected to a modem/router. think of it as an expansion to the network. it's very basic in what it does

I'm pretty sure you can't. I thought it would split an internet signal to 2 outputs, but it doesn't. I have honestly never used it because it didn't do what i thought it would...I'm not an expert, though.

It is supposed to work as a hotspot as long as the unit is connected (wired) to 1 computer, other computers can connect if they are in close range (though I have not tested it out).

Could be a bandwidth problem. If N router is also adjustable to B or G, it may be in the B setting. Another thing to check is if you are getting a direct line of site signal or are you getting a bounced signal. With a bounced signal, the signal strength can show good, but data transfer will be pretty slow.Good Luck!!!

I found a solution. First I tried every channel, no luck, terrible internet throughput. This was on 802.11b/g, which is on the same band (2.4GHz). My solution was to config my home router to 802.11a (5GHz). Now that wifi and this monitor are on totally different bands, they don't interfere and internet performance is good again. Home router is a Netscreen SSG5, which is a power-user (or Enterprise) class "branch-office" router.

These devices are connected to a local computer, which does not need access to the Internet. However, if you want to use "remote veiwing," which I'm sure you will, then the computer to which they are connected needs Internet access.

It does not have wifi. It is a gaming MB, so wifi is not so great due to the potential for a higher ping.

I think that would be best to ask that question to your Internet provider. Also ask them if it works with your modem as well.

No, you have to have an internet plugin for this item. It doesn't function like a wifi hotspot.

It has built in wi-fi, but it does not require a connection to the internet to work.

Leigh, we also have the problem with "no internet access." So far, I haven't found any real solution except for unplugging and replugging the adapter. The tech guy from Medialink couldn't figure out the problem either.

It does not require a hot spot Wi Fi, actually that is what this Power link is stealing from other users a signal such as this . It will pick up signals from your Public Library, laundrymat McDonalds , Donut Shoppe etc. So you don't have an internet bill.

No never, it doesn't have anything to do with internet connections, It just rests in this cradle -- however it's designed -- you can't use the computer while it rests in this BookArc.

Unfortunately that model isn't wi-fi so the only form of internet is the ethernet cable. blue-ray.com has the specifications on your model.
