will this repeater pick up a wireless signal then allow you to plug in an ethernet line from the device into a computer to create a wired connection?

Yes. This is exactly how I have my setup configured. I initially configured the WR02 as a Repeater ( was not easy at first but read either my review or others on how to do this). I found that the best place to locate the WR02 was in a room where I have a Roku and I don't have a wired connection. I plugged in the Roku to the WR02 and reconfigured the Roku for a wired connection and I believe the throughput is actually better. Maybe because the WR02 is closer to the floor and picking up a stronger Wifi signal from the primary Wifi router. So now from the WR02, I am using both the wired connection for the Roku and the repeated connection for mobile devices and tablets. Yes. This is exactly how I have my setup configured.

I don't think so. The repeater only picks up existing wireless and increases / repeats signal. I would have to recommend looking further into item description on website. good luck.

To my knowledge, no. I use the AC Ethernet adapters for wired connection which work great; I use a cheap switch to get multiple connections from one adapter. For instance, I use the AC Ethernet adapter and switch for to hard wire connect my TV, DVD (or Roku) and PC to the Internet. In another room, I use another Ethernet connected to my HT-WR02 to extend a strong wireless signal in the room and elsewhere around the house. Not sure if all of this information is helpful.

Hi Gene,Utilizing this item as a Universal Repeater should accomplish the task you have mentioned. Keep in mind, it will only extend WiFi signal, it will not make the connection "faster". Hope this helps (and I've enjoyed this product).K.O.

*If* you have hardwired ethernet in the area with weak wireless, you can use this device to set up a separate wireless network in that area of your apartment. I think however, a standard wireless router would serve you better. This device will not work as a wireless repeater to extend an existing wireless network.

Unknown - I did not try it for passing ethernet. Blue Rigger website says it will. http://www.bluerigger.com/ProductDetails.aspx?id=2&catid;=1&prodid;=2

You can hook it directly from your wireless router via an Ethernet connection

No. You have to hook it up by its ethernet port to begin with, and then you can use either that or wireless in the future.

Yes. You will need to go through a brief setup to get the ethernet connection working.

This unit will work but only connected through an Ethernet cable and configured as an access point. If you need a unit that connects wireless to your network than you need an extender like the SR20000G.

If you mean you use this device to access your wireless router with an Ethernet cable attached to your computer's network card then yes. I use it to access my wireless router from across the house with machines that are too old to have wireless network cards. Hope this is clear.

It comes with a small Ethernet cord. You can use this cord to hookup to a router or repeater. We bought a $25 wireless repeater that plugs into a wall jack and plugged the unit into it. Simple.

No, it won't. It is an alternative to WIFI or Ethernet. Instead of connecting an ethernet wire between two spots, this permits you to use a coaxial cable.

NO. I bought a USB Linksys DUAL BAND AE2500 Then it kept 'cutting out' SO I hooked up to the EtherNet port in the back. Works better (faster, Obviously).

It has the ability to be setup as a repeater, but that isn't the best use. In the best case scenario, it is a radio only. They sell a nanostation that can receive a wifi network and create an Ethernet port

It should work for that. It basically lets a wired device pretend that wireless is actually a wired network.

No - I tried this. It will act as a wireless bridge, but it only appears to bridge between another device over wi-fi, not through ethernet. I suspect they did not want to put in the extra effort to convert packets from ethernet to wi-fi and back.

No. First you connect it with the cable and then log into settings and set it to work as a repeater and then disconnect and it will be a wireless repeater.

Can't answer that question. I have the repeater installed in the same room as my laptop. My modem, however, is two floors above and a distance away, so I know that the unit works as promised with the modem.
