In theory yes, but this thing is a POS. I wish I had listened to the other reviews I saw instead of buying. Didn't work at all for what I was trying to do with it. Don't waste your money.

That would depend on your scanner. The device has to recognize cable for what it is. It's basically a NICE and your device would have to have built in drivers for it like a PC in order allow the cable to do its job.

Yes it needs to be wired to a router, if it is a wireless router then you will see it over the network.

This scanner must be used with the base. If you connect the base via a usb to your tablet or router, you can make it work that way.

As long as printer is hooked up to the network router it should give you option of scanning to any PC on network

There should be a pair of units. The unit with only one Ethernet input should be with the router. The unit with multiple Ethernet inputs should be with the Roamio.

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.

Sorry cannot help you. I strictly use it to connect my Dell notebook, which does not have an Ethernet port, to my router.

You connect to the internet via an Ethernet cable to your router. I do not know how you would do it wirelessly

Works with everything. I have it connected to a document scanner. You can also connect a multiport network switch to it and plug several items into 1 wireless connection

I am using the latest Mac OSX operating system and I am able to scan wirelessly. I have the epson connected directly to my router and my computer is on the wireless network. Hope this helps!

There is an ethernet port on the back that connects to the router. That should work. Personally, I already have a Roku box so I just needed it for Blu-ray. I am very pleased with the unit.

Thank you all for your responses. One last question I have is ifIt wirelessly connect to my router, or do I need to run an Ethernet wire from this to my router?

No. You can hook it up to a wireless router and access it that way. It's an excellent printer. I little noisy, but the print quality and scan quality are the best.

I don't have that setup but I imagine it would work. If you connect it to your router in one room and then the 2nd unit in another room, you get an ethernet jack which is now direct to your router connected via your home wiring. The question would be how you would connect or split the cable ethernet to existing sevice and to where you want to add service. I hope this helps.

It must be connected to the router via cable, but if you dont have or dont want to extend ethernet cables you can install a wifi extender near your receiver and connect the receiver to the extender by ethernet, i did that

Mine is connected via wireless but if you wanted to use copier/scanner without any connections, you can.

This device is only for Ethernet connections. Your laptop probably has an Ethernet port and you will need an Ethernet cable to plug this in as well as another cable to plug the second unit into the router.
