Can this connect to a local router?

No it does not, this is basically a supped up USB WiFi connector for your PC/Laptop. My son uses it for connecting his laptop to the internet at school which does not have good signal strength in some of the class rooms. He has had no issues since using the C.Crane. Hope that helps.

In Layman's terms this antenna finds ands offers all Wi-Fi signals that it detects these signals are either open or encrypted, in my experience it works GREAT the device in question has drivers installed in the antenna or there's an option to use the C.D. enclosed just follow the prompts another words it Incredibly simple to use basically it finds any and all signals that are with in range it also has a booster plug to strengthen the signal I use it daily !

I don't know much about routers but we were having difficulties keeping WiFi connection so we bought these to get stronger signal from our router and worked great

Yes you can. It will connect to any router within it's ring. That could be 10 yards away or 100 yards away. It will even connect to your smart phone if you set it up as a hot spot.

No, there's another version on their website that has the connection needed to hook up to a router.

Yes it can you can either use the antenna directly to down load the driver or use the driver DVD included if you encounter problems you can try trouble shooting

You will need an Ethernet cable to connect to your router. This will make you system connected to your wireless network.

In a word, NO. It has to be connected to a router that assigns internal IP addresses. That would be either your cable/DSL 'modem' or to something like an Apple Airport that has an ethernet jack.

Hi Bev H. You would need a wireless router for that. Your wireless router depends on the kinds and number of devices you want to connect to it. You can consult us about it.

Sorry but no, this unit will only connect to the network via a wireless connection. The LAN ports on the unit are access ports for clients not network ports.

Yes. When you plug the router in and connect it to your home network, everything on the network connects automatically.

Yes. It is possible to set up your computer to connect to your router automatically after you restart your computer.

Not unless you have a router with an extra port on it you can plug this into.

I would think that it would have to be connected to your router to have access to your wireless network.

Simple answer is yes. It gets to be a question of just how portable you need your router to be.

no. you have to connect it to the router directly via an ethernet cable. you can then connect to any drives connected to it though via your network, including wireless connections if your computer youre trying to access the drives from and your router has wifi capabilitiesthe box itself though is not wirelessanother warning, this device does NOT support drives over 2tb in size and the usb ports on it are usb2.0 not usb3.0

No. This device is designed to connect the computer to a WIFI router, not the other way around.SoftAP may make this possible but check out whether it is doable on your computer before you buy.

Yes, as long as your router is connected to one, you can connect a bunch around the house. I have 4 plugged in and one at the router.

Nope. It has built-in WiFi and will connect directly to your router. Works well.

Possibly, If your router is linux and has dial up support, you can plug this modem into the USB port of your router and the router can bridge the dial up connection to the wifi lan of your router. Check out this one.. http://www.greatarbor.com/products.html#GAC-252

Hi PS3gamer.Yes you can connect this to any Wireless-B/G or Wireless-N router. Make sure that you know the router's SSID as well as its wireless security settings. If you're able to detect the router's signal, then you'd pretty much be able to link your wireless adapter to the network.Thanks.Cisco-Linksys Supporthttp://homesupport.cisco.com

No, you do not need to physically connect to the router. It must be placed within the wireless router's range, and then extends it further.
