Does the Tuxedo WiFi allow you to hardwire it to a router with a Cat 5 cable instead of depending on the WiFi to get to your home network?

Yes, it has both hardwired (Cat5) and wireless capabilities, you just pick which one you want to use through menu options.

No. The Roku will work hardwired to the router, but the current speed of it is not ideal for gaming purposes.

You need to decide how you'll use it, as an 'extender' or an Ethernet port. It will 'talk' to the router in both modes (no hard connection). As an extender, any device within range will detect and be able to use it.

Yes, that is one of the design functions. Connect the cable modem to the coax cable at the wall, then use a CAT 5 or 5E cable to connect to the router.

Yes. Just hook up the 5.2 speakers. It detects what you have and you can do speak config in the settings menu. Again, network config in settings for wifi, plug in a network cable and just set it to wired or no network connection if you want. I think it auto detects the network cable as well.

If WiFi is lost, only remote connection to the Tuxedo and the Tuxedo's connection to any IPCAM will be severed until WiFi is restored. All other functions of the Tuxedo are unaffected.

You shouldn't need that...here is how I have mine connected. - I have a Comcast cable modem. - I connect my Airport wireless router directly to the cable modem. - I do have hard wired ethernet to connect this switch to my Airport Express (I have cabling running between my office and living room). - I then have the switch tucked behind my TV (connected via Ethernet). - Then, all of my devices are plugged directly into this switch - TV, Denon A/V home theater, Xbox, Tivo. I believe your Roku should be connected directly to your TV via HDMI or composite/audio cable combination. Hope that helps!

Yes it would work if you ran a Cat 5 ethernet cable from your router to the 5 port switch and then attached your devices to the switch using some more ethernet cables. However, have you thought of getting a wifi extender instead to get the signal to your bedroom. I also have a Netgear Universal Range Extender and that works great to get a strong signal all over my house.

Yes. I run the signal from my DSL modem into the adapter and to my office where I run an Ethernet cable from the adapter to my router and transmit wireless to the whole house. My office is more central to the house and the router works great from there.

No you don't need to connect any wires or cables but you need to configure it with your current router.

WiFi? Yes I had mine running through a Wi-Fi router but you still have to hardwire it to a WiFi router.

Yes, you can connect a cat5 cable and set up a network. It is perfect for travel.

From a technical POV, hard wire is always better. I use wifi but the phone and router are in the same room. However, I don't see a network cable port on the phone.

Yes. Over home WiFi and also Smart Phone/Tablet access. You hardwire to the router and use the software included to configure your system. Very user friendly. I'm a novice and I was able to handle it!

Yes plug your router cable to this then everything plugs into this will have the ability. Note: Having this will not change wifi speed.
1254403
Yes, if you configure it properly. Sounds like you would use the 'client' mode which makes the D-Link act as a wireless connection point for a wired Ethernet device.

Yes. Once setup, it creates its own private network. You also need consider that the room needs an available Ethernet (with active internet) port for the router to work.
