Can i hook up my desk top to this Router with a Ethernet cable &amp; have everything else on WiFi? it appears all the black ports on the back are blank.

I have everything else on wi-fi with this router, I have it hooked up just as you said, and the rest of my equipment run on wi-fi...so the simple answer would be yes :)

I had the same issue with an off brand (tenda) router. The Belkin box could connect with my friends router, and my phones hot spot, but not this one. I ended up getting a new router (linksys) , dual band to take advantage of the belkins speed. Connected up with no problem

Matt, You have to buy two of them. One to plug into the router via Ethernet cable then plug one in where your computer is and another Ethernet cable (neither supplied) into it. It uses your homes wiring to boost the signal (supposedly). I was so aggravated by the time I received the 2nd one that I just sent them both back and bought a high dollar (NETGEAR 1900) router and a even higher dollar (NETGEAR) wireless extender and I'm very pleased with the outcome.Hope this helps with you question.

My guess is that you got a "dud". I have never had that happwwith ANY router bit. DO NOT USE IT. SEND IT BACK

Actually what Im trying to figure out is how to actually connect to that wifi connection. HOw do I hook up to it with my PC? Or do I actually need something to plug into my laptop that picks up the signal. Im not sure if the tiny laptop I have will automatically pick up a wifi signal if there is one in the area, or If I have to buy some kind of device to hook up to it. And if I need a device, I wouldnt even begin to know what Im looking for.

Mine came without a cable cord, what should I do? It contained the ethernet, USB and power cord....

I'm fairly certain this Should be able to function as a bypass to your built in Ethernet port, you may have to disable the on board port in the bios and/or drive manager. @$13.95 it's certainly worth a try. You could also try a wireless USB adapter also if you have a wireless access point.

Either use WI FI or the router has 4 Ethernet ports. you can connect your laptop to the remaining ones on your router.

Looks like you have to hook up to the internet via an ethernet cable. I'm going to hold out for a wireless unit.

Unfortunately, the USB is set up to access a Hard drive, not the network. There is an Ethernet port on the back that requires HARD-WIRED to a router or hub.

You need an cat5 ethernet cord. I also found the system quite buggy. Would probably gotten something else. Also wouldnt do the update but leave it as is? Troublesome but attractive hardware.

Make sure you have adequate power supply. I did not receive one so I had to go to Radio Shack. Need cable from DSL/Broadboard green jack in modem to phone jack in wall. My "wall" is connection to AT&T; DSL only (no telephone). Need ethernet cable from one of yellow jacks on modem to ethernet jack on computer (desktop for me). To effectively get it to work you'll have to call AT&T; to get connected. They will talk you through it. It will take awhile. Maybe 30-45 minutes to do total set up.

Yes, this just indicates that it needs an incoming connection. You should have a modem from your internet company, that would plug in to the back of the router.

Plug right in to an ethernet network. But, my wireless works great. Something else is going on. Maybe your internet connect or wireless router.

It's been a while since I set it up, but it should connect to another router in Bridge Mode. Download the manual from the TP-LINK website to check for yourself.

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.
