so if I want to get wifi using this for another room i need to connect a new router to the ethernet plug on it?

Yes, one would connect to your main router and the other one would need to connect to the other router

Assuming you don't already have a wireless router elsewhere that reaches this room, yes. The PA411 does not do wireless by itself. It effectively extends an existing wired Ethernet using your house's power lines.

I am afraid I am a bad source for this product. I couldn't get them to work, so sent them back. Sorry

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

So would I be able to connect this to a wired router and connect mutiple devices to it?

no this is a modem that connects to a router u will need a wireless router. you would connect the cable to the modem than run a ethernet cable from the modem to your wireless router, then from there another eternet cable to your computer

That's about it. It does not need to be wired to the original router. It does need to be configured but that's consumer-doable. Note that the placement, composition of the walls etc. affects where the signal can go.

The short answer is: no you don't but your current router must support either 802.11g or 802.11n wireless protocol.

Yes - I would go cable modem to wireless router then from router to switch all with an ethernet cable. This is how I have it setup on my network.

If your current Internet MODEM has wifi built into it no this is not a wireless bridge. This plugs into your modem with Ethernet and then creates a wifi zone in your home/office. This is a router with a wifi access point built in. If you need to extend the wifi that is built into your modem search for a wifi range extender. But don't expect the same performance. Extenders are effectively half the performance of the first wifi device.

NO! The ethernet router would need to be configured to accept a DSL signal; that isn'

As long as you have a router with a network in your home, or an access point if you're not home, that's all you need. The wifi is built in, you just have to connect to the network

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.

You need Ethernet cables to connect to the router and another to the computer

Yes. You need to have wifi or to connect it to a router with an ethernet cable.

yes, there is one ethernet port on the device for putting it on your network. the wifi access point needs to be connected to some other switch or router that's already on the network.

There is an Ethernet port on the bottom but from what I understand is that will only boost your wifi signal more, not turn an outlet into Ethernet. Someone else may know more about this, though.

No. This device is for connecting ethernet-only devices to a Wi-Fi network. What you need is a Wi-Fi 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.
