Once I connect "wired" and configure for extender, can the computer (laptop) be disconnected and this unit (edimax) stand alone.

as a general rule the need for a computer, laptop or other, is only required for configuration. Neither of my Edimax units have a computer attached and they all function fine. This is a great unit and it should work well for you after configuration as extender, WAP or other.

absolutely. Thats the intent. I think their odd setup with it hard wired forces you to "see" good connectivity thru the extender before disconnecting it. Nice form factor - with wall mount option; its small & runs cool. All good in my book.

in any case I can think of, that is what it is supposed to do-it is a repeater and it will repeat the signal of any device it on your network and anyone else you let in and anyone else that guesses the password-use a good password

Yes, provided you have your original wifi network on and feeding it. It just expands the range of your existing network. No computers need to be on.

Yes you will, but it is still readily accessible and the Unit comes with, in my case, a long enough cord to reach my surge protector. On my set up, because of the proximity to power, the unit is entirely invisible.

I bought 2 of these computers one I have hard wired and the other works off the wireless card. It works perfectly no issues and it's already installed so you connect when you're doing the set up!

A wired connection to the router is not necessary for setup. However, during setup, you will want the extender, the router, and the computer used for setup to be in fairly close proximity of one another.

No you need 2 units, one for the router and one for the modem, then multiple ethernet cables ti connect it all

No. First you connect it with the cable and then log into settings and set it to work as a repeater and then disconnect and it will be a wireless repeater.

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

No, I usually power it off and then when I power it on again, I do not have to do anything else. It just goes on and work perfectly well. It's a wonderful extender!!!

Yes, you can have two kits (4 power line units) to work with your router. With one unit plugs into the wall power outlet and Ethernet cable connects to your router. Three other units in a different rooms also plugging in wall power outlet and connect to other computer, laptop etc... through Ethernet cables or wireless if your units supported wireless. You can use the default security setup or your own security by following factory recommendation.

I just plugged the network extender (alone) into my house's coaxial cable network and it automatically synced up with my FIOS router. It even duplicated the SSID and security. I didn't have to do anything. That was fantastic. Although I do have the option to change these settings if I want to create a different SSID.

Magicjack plus just came out. You can plug it into the wall and then connect it to the ethernet and it will work when the computer is off.

The standby switch puts the modem into "stanby mode." Essentially, it is not completey "off" in this state, but the RJ45 and USB interfaces are turned off, essentially disconnecting the computers/routers from the internet.I never found much use for it. It was mostly a nuisance, because I would bump it when working on things, and then lose my connections.I was relieved to find the button missing on the 5101U I use now.

Yes you can, it took me couple days and many hours to find that out, here is the video how to make it Bridge mode. Remember to connect it with the Ethernet cable while you are doing the set up. Be patient and enjoy this extender from an affordable Price. Good luck to you...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA9QhjjTP2o&app;=desktop

Yes. I have my Amped hard wired to my providers router. The main router is in a back room office. The other is in the family room. I have a wire rn through the attic and down the wall where my home theater equipment is located. Most modern A/V manufacturers will issue firmware updates for your stuff. Your computer will show all available connections. You can select and deselect from either of them.

Yes. I did this downstairs with a second adapter to switch Ethernet to multiple devices. The first one upstairs gets Ethernet directly from my router.

I have not tried this but have had two extenders one after the other from the router. I would think that it would work fine. But call Hawking to be sure. Their tech support has been good for me. Henry blue ridge

It will configure independently from the current NIC. It will behave similar to a typical laptop setup with a wired NIC and a wireless one when used on a desktop. Hope this helps.
