Can I use the laptop's wifi or do I have to connect through the ethernet port?

Yes you can use the laptops wifi when docked. Windows by default will switch to an ethernet connection if present. You can change that in the settings though. But I would just not plug in an ethernet cable if you want to use the wifi when docked.

No. It has an ethernet connection but no built-in wifi which is rather surprising. You will need an external ethernet to wifi adapter/router. Also, while it has a USB port it does not support a USB wifi adaptor.

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.

Yes, you can connect to a WIFI network with the included USB wireless LAN adapter, which is plugged into the back of the machine (an extension cord for the adapter is also included with the system). If WIFI matters to you, check with a seller to be sure the adapter is included. For an internet connection, you can also plug in an ethernet cord for a wired connection that may be faster and more reliable depending on the WIFI signal strength.

This device connects via usb port on yr pc. It doesnt connect via Ethernet if thats what ur asking. One option of having Power over internet use is buy using an Alfa r36 wifi repeart/Router : Alfa R36 802.11 b/g/N Repeater and Range Extender for AWUS036H " which could be gotten here. With this device you could use ethernet aswell.

There is a proprietary Asus mini VGA port on the side. The laptop comes with an adapter along with the USB Ethernet adapter.

I use the Ethernet but I am quite sure that it can be use wireless you may have to just type in the connection number and the name of the link.

No There is not, I plugged a wireless USB device into the front to gain remote access to the internet. There is a LAN card for a direct Ethernet connection to the internet though.

Hi: It also can be hooked to your computer with the supplied USB cable. Therefore you don't have to run it wirelessly, or have it beside your modem for the ethernet connerction

Yes, no, and maybe.The modem is an "option", but I have never seen or heard of one that had this option.Mine has a port + connector, but no modem inside.If you have a USB modem, that might work.Right now I connect with the wireless or the wired network.

I am going to say neither, because it is designed to only connect your network via wired or wireless. The unit has USB port to allow you to take normal usb devices such as drives and scanner and share them over your network. It isn't made to accept incoming wireless signal from a computer and grant access to the network.

the asus laptop has wi fi capabilities. you need to have the security name and code if accessing private connections unless they are public

This is solely used to connect devices that only take Ethernet cables to a wireless network. So you would need a wireless network set up for this device to connect to.

It is wireless, does not require Ethernet. However, initial Ethernet connection can be done and then used wirelessly.

If you're using the NSM M5 in AP mode, the Laptop would need to have a 5GHz radio inside it. However, if you were using the MSN5 in Station Mode (connecting to another AP) then it should work fine over ethernet.
