Does this modem take internet connection from LAN and spread it in Wireless? Like normal desktop access points, cause i need to attack a power line.

Short answer: yes.It has several operating modes. I am using it in client mode, allowing a device with an ethernet port to be connected to a wireless LAN.

I hope I am understanding your question, but one of its operating modes is as a router - that is how I use it. It connects one side to an existing wired network and then creates a wireless network with its own SSID. Any wifi device can then connect to that network and through it to the main network. This is the way I use it - to connect to say a hotel wired network and allow all my wifi devices to then connect through it.

Yes. You can connect this to your cable modem and use it as a wired router to distribute your internet connection throughout your home or business. The key word is "wired" as this does not have wireless capability. Connections will require ethernet cables.

How does everyone solve this I wonder! It's a real pain because wireless access points don't generally have a useable Ethernet connection. I ended up buying a devolo plug starter kit that sends the Internet around the house electric circuit. It was pricey (nearly £100 - am in uk) but it literally plugged in and worked.

The wireless unit will get its power from the Ethernet cable plugged into it from this unit. Only this POE Injector gets plugged into the wall, and the power goes over unused wires in the Ethernet cable to the wireless access point. This allows you to install the wireless access point without having to worry about having an outlet nearby.router-->ethernet cable-->POE injector--->Ethernet cable-->wireless access point (I have EAP-600)

I am planning on putting two WiFi extenders in two different parts of the house. One part has its own separate wiring. Will this one still amplify the signal from the modem?

I have a similar setup working, but instead of using the ethernet connection on the modem, which most only have one, I use two ethernet connections on the back of the wireless router. One goes to a swich which drives 3 components and the other goes across to the opposite side of my house to a second switch driving 4 components. I am running computers, PS3, Wii, and 2 internet TV's with improved streaming speed and reliability than wireless.

Hi Fishstick, I am Jake from Livio Radio. there is an option that will let you pass your ethernet connection from our router over a power line. if you search "ethernet power" this will come up. The white livio radio includes an ethernet port so you should be all set!

No. This is a modem with one ethernet cable output. You will need a separate wireless router if you want to share internet connection with other devices.

Hi Peter, This device can act as Wireless Ethernet Client, and in many cases there are more than just one Ethernet device that needs to be connected back to the wireless network. That's when the bonus LAN port comes in place. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate contacting ZyXEL's US-Based Technical support at 1.800.255.4101 Option# 5. Best regards, ZyXEL's Sales Team

When I did connect the switch directly to the modem my provider limited the number of IP addresses. I then connected my wireless router to the modem and then this switch to the router. IP addresses were automatically added in the router from the switch. There was no conflict in this config.

It is NOT a modem, it is a wireless router. Modems are usually different, and I always suggest people get a SEPARATE modem for whatever technology they're using (DSL, Cable, WISP, Cell Data card, etc). This will work with any modem using ethernet connections.

In my set up, yes. If you are connecting straight from the cable modem, I don't think so. A cable modem is most likely only going to give out one IP address. However, I have a wireless router connected to the cable modem, so the router handles IP address assignment. I then have a 100' ethernet cable running form the router to this switch. I can have up to four devices connected to the switch at the same time and all will have internet access. Right now I have two connected.Hope that helps to clarify.

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.

Confirm. Does need a separate connection for power. Didn't fulfill my requirements, finally. I sold these ones and bought a Raidsonic IB-CXP101-101-Kit Ethernet/PoE over Coax Extender Kit

It is supposed to. However, I have found that the Ethernet over Power line solutions require resetting from time to time because the link unpredictably drops. I have not found these products to be reliable and have always ended up replacing them with a hard wired solution.

Yes - you configure the LAN interface IP as part of your setup. You don't have to use the default 192.168.1.x address it's set with out of the box.

Work to do what? If you power it by USB, it will act as an Access Point, but if the school limits wired ports to a single device, it wouldn't allow multiple devices through an AP (a router would). If you want it to extend your range/signal strength, it would in a way - you could find the spot with the best signal, put this there, then extend that connection via USB to your computer. I don't believe it will act as a client bridge, meaning that you could not use an Ethernet cable from your computer to this device, with it acting as your wireless client. That option is not in the menu.
