I keep reading "MyQ"... Gateway ... Is this a separate device that is needed? I have a cable modem/wireless router. Will I need more than that?

You will need this for your Chamberlain garage door, or other Chamberlain devices to connect to your router, so you can control them from your phone or computer. It needs a power source and Ethernet cable run to your router. Be Careful if buying this used! If the last person to own it did not clear the password off of it you cant use it, and Chamberlain cannot clear it for you. Hope this helps.

You need the following. An Internet connection, a router, and the CIGBU MyQ Internet gateway. That is all assuming you already have the compatible garage door opener. You just plug this product into your router and configure per the instructions. Took me maybe ten minutes to set up.

Yes. Your chamberlain door opener may be myw ready. You need this device to use it.

I think for that computer you need an Airport Extreme card - the one that came out after this one.. Your router should not matter.

Yes, the gateway is the device which connects to the internet and to MyQ devices in your home like lamp controls, wall units etc. Not certain of max number of MyQ devices, but guessing around 6.

No, that's the whole point of this device, it is independent from your PC (except if you want to pay for and add PlayOn, but that's a different discussion). After you do your initial setup (some channels may each require a code to be activated, others don't need one at all), your PC doesn't even have to be turned on. But you _will_ need a wireless router, if you don't have one already.

Confirmed. The myQ device is hooked up next to my router by ethernet cable on the second floor. The garage door unit is located a floor below, 200 feet away through several walls. It works.

I put a MOCA filter where my main cable line comes into the first splitter to advance cable, that has been all I needed, you will need to make sure the line to your modem/router is on the first splitter for best results.

I got way more than enough cords with mine when I bought it. In full, it came with an ethernet cable, a USB cable (which may be used the same way the ethernet cable does, haven't figured it out yet haha), a power cord for the modem, a phone line cable to plug into the wall for internet service, several phone cable adapters I haven't needed either, and... well I think that's all. It works great so far, I did have to buy an additional wifi adapter to have wifi in my home though. It was very cheap compared to the modem though. Anyway, hope this is helpful. Best of luck Merideth!

I agree with the others this is NOT a router. I run a cat5e from one of my router ports to another room and went into the SWITCH . Now this allows me to hook up more devices (ie: blueray, compters, printers, etc) without running cables for each one all over the house. It is just a great extension from one of your ports on a router.

If your door has the MyQ system, it will need the repeater. They are about $50 from Homelink.

I have a Gateway PC. All I did was plug my little adapter in and it recieved wi fi from 2 dfferent wi fi modems, mine and my sons next door. If you have to password for the modem, it works. I didn't even use the cd. And they are differet name brand modems.

Yes, this just indicates that it needs an incoming connection. You should have a modem from your internet company, that would plug in to the back of the router.

Hi Jasmine, what you are referring to must be the credentials of your wi-fi router. It doesn't have anything to do with the cable modem.

From what I saw on another page, from TP Link: Though the speed of the Ethernet port is limited to 100mbps, the data transmission and receiveing between the devices will be approximitaley 500mbps, given the integrity of the circuit. Someone else posted that essentially if you add more than 2 of these in your house, the combined bandwidth could be up to 500mb. In my case, I had a near-wifi dead zone (1 bar, Amazon prime wouldn't stream), and after adding this, and a wifi router I turned into an AP, I can now stream Amazon prime without any issues, via ethernet to my roku, and wifi on my other devices gets MUCH better signal. In short, if you only plan to get 2 of these, you shouldn't need the 500mb ones. If you plan to setup 3+ over your house, and you have a gigabit router already, then go that route. I got these b/c at the time, they were the same price as the 200mb ones. Good luck w/ your purchase!

I didnt read this but its a pretty educated guess, It needs a plug, and if you want wireless you Add a wireless router.

The device does not work as I understood it would. I was of the understanding that with this device I would not need to physically access an existing router, but I have not found that to be true. I still have to have physical access to an existing router in order to make it work.

James, That the way I am set up here. Except I go cable modem to wireless router to Switch. I get Ethernet for the desktops and wireless for the laptop._Peter
