Some one said that it would not work if you had a wireless router on your computer system. Is that true?

If this is in reference to the Mail Alarm, the router has no connection to the alarm whatsoever.

Do you have to have a wireless router in order to get hooked up to the internet with it? I don't know how it all works :(

I would think that it would have to be connected to your router to have access to your wireless network.

It can only work if you are within the range of WiFi network. Place your wireless modem very close to the window, or on the windowsill so the device will get a signal.

I don't believe so. it's been a while since I set mine up but I think I had to connect it to my computer 1st, run the disk, tell it what network to connect to and give it the network password before it could access my router via Wi-Fi. I also had to make some changes to my router settings.

I don't know, but I have a Netgear wireless router, and it works fine with that.

Maybe not...Mine would not find the wireless internet even though I followed the directions very carefully. I had to mess around with it multiples times over a couple of days before I finally was able to get it to recognize the connection.

You have to have a cable modem separately regardless of which router you choose. But yes, it will work fine once you have the appropriate cable modem (probably a docsis 3.0 compliant modem.)

yes. routers are not mac or pc specific. we have several of both in our house & it works well with all of our wireless devices.

It doesn't work that way.It is a wireless router that hooks up to a modem.You need a cat5 or cat6 cable to hook up from the modem to the router and then it will work

That should work. With this particular range extender you actually create a new network that is seen by the computers in the area serviced by this extender. Technically what happens the range extender connects to the wireless signal from your router. It than sends out a signal, thus extending the range of your router. When you setup the "new" network you are actually just extending your original network. Hope this is helpful

Yes, you need to buy a separate wireless router. I think it is called a W1000. I got mine pretty cheap though.

No. A router won't help actually. You need a laptop with a WiDi (wireless display) chipset already built in. That's the only way.

I know it works with usb but I have not gotten it to work wireless without wireless router.

I really don't know if it will work but, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't. I really love mine but, never thought about connecting it to my router. I might give that a shot!

It works with your router not your PC. The device download has the code to let it be recognized. Its a range extender and not a very good one. If you check it out you'll find a lot of unhappy customers. The device is expensive and not a long lived device. I still have mine ---its in a desk drawer ! !

I just picked up one of these today. I had no problems connecting to the wireless router (2WIRE) in another room. Good luck getting it to work.
