will this create a local LAN without the internet connection (i.e, for wireless scrrens,discs, etc)?

Yes you can but i would recommend connecting it via Lan cable to avoid any error when you want to set it to your requirements because it will ask for that.

No, you have to have an internet plugin for this item. It doesn't function like a wifi hotspot.

I believe it will do both depending on configuration. I had planned on connecting it using a LAN but it automatically connected to the WIFI from across the parking lot and has been working ever since (almost a year).

Yup. USB on one end, plug in an ethernet cable on the other to add it to the LAN.

You would only need internet connectivity if you want to access it away from home. You would need a local area network consisting of a router and the TCP gateway to operate it locally with your computer, tablet, or phone. They also make a handheld remote, I dont have one, so no idea how that works.

yes it will enable you to use your laptop without a wire. thats what is called Wi-fi

No, this unit uses the same kind of wireless network that one uses to access the internet. A web address and web browser are used to set up the device.

I do not know but, if the lan module will allow the connection there should not be a problem.

Yes, as long as you have enabled port forwarding on your router to allow access outside your LAN.

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, it will work without an internet connection. The program CD has a Docs folder that has a 293-page Reference Manual in pdf format and a 30-page Getting Started Guide also in pdf format. An internet connection would connect you to detailed online help which is faster but you can also look up such help in the Manual and Guide after you copy the pdf files into your computer from the CD.

No. It needs to be physically connected to an Ethernet port either through a wall jack or another router.

Not directly. It can be used wireless if you have a router that allows USB drives to be plugged in.

No you would need an interface to serve up your device. I use the vera3 with usb connected, for lack of a better word, converter. If you want access beyond the confinds of you local network you will need Internet access.

I had the same question, when you connect it as directed you can be LAN (USB) and it will also produce a wifi signal for those devices. It does both or either one as needed. Mine was bought used and works great.

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.

No, this is a pretty terrible product in my experience. The only way to use it at all is with the network mode. Save yourself the trouble and just buy a stand alone hard drive.

Yes, will work without an internet connection. Either use the APE to create a wireless network, or join the APE to your existing wireless network
