I don't know about your particular device, but I use it on my Dell desktop PC and it works great.

It should work fine, depending on the usual restrictions of distance and barriers.

You shouldn't need that...here is how I have mine connected.- I have a Comcast cable modem.- I connect my Airport wireless router directly to the cable modem.- I do have hard wired ethernet to connect this switch to my Airport Express (I have cabling running between my office and living room).- I then have the switch tucked behind my TV (connected via Ethernet).- Then, all of my devices are plugged directly into this switch - TV, Denon A/V home theater, Xbox, Tivo.I believe your Roku should be connected directly to your TV via HDMI or composite/audio cable combination. Hope that helps!

The device did not work well in my house. Sometimes I could get online but most of the time, I couldn't. HP and HughesNet both finally suggested that I have an Ethernet cable installed. Now I connect my laptop to the internet whenever I want. The device may work perfectly in another house. We were told that there is something in the construction of our house that was blocking the signal because of the soundproofing in our bedroom/living room wall.

I'm not sure what a DirecTV Genie client is, but if it hooks up via HDMI, and your Bluray is also HDMI, then I can't see any reason this wouldn't work for you. It will even switch back and forth between devices as you turn one off and turn on the other.. I have two of these splitters and they work great!

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

Any "access point" device will work, as B. Bailey suggested one, so will I: Buffalo Technology Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band Ethernet Converter WLI-TX4-AG300N These devices simply grab the wifi signal like any other wifi device but then they connect your devices through an ethernet connection, which fools these devices into thinking that they're on a (more-reliable, stable) wired connection to the internet. They're no more difficult to setup than your internet router. Many of these exist, I had done my research a year ago and found that most of these only have a single ethernet port--so only one device can be hooked up at a time to grant internet access--but this one most benefited my living room since I have my tv, blu-ray player, and my Xbox 360 which all need internet connections. And this is pretty much the same price or cheaper than some other models. As I said, I've had mine for a year (replacing a 50ft long ethernet cable running through my apartment) and I love it. Once in a whlie the signal drops (like any other wifi device) but it's great and I couldn't be happier with this alternative and it's "multi-use".

HR 44, video bridge and mini wireless genie is what I installed. You need the SWM splitter that the main cable from the satellite plugs into. From there, one cable goes to the video bridge and another to the HR44. The wireless mini genie will connect to that. DTV tech support helped me configure the system and it works perfectly. The range for the signal is outstanding.

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.

An Ethernet cable may be required to connect the DTV receiver to the CCK adaptor, but the CCK adaptor communicates with your internet router wirelessly. You must have a fast wireless system in your home. If you have a wireless router, the CCK comes with all cables required to connect to various DTV receivers and antenna systems. The CCK does not require a hardwired Ethernet connection to the internet. It's a "wireless" adaptor. HTH

Yes, if you configure it properly. Sounds like you would use the 'client' mode which makes the D-Link act as a wireless connection point for a wired Ethernet device.

Hi Stephen, This model comes with Gigabit Ethernet, so you will have to buy/use a Cat 5e or Cat6 Ethernet Cable to get the most out of the connection. It does not come with WiFi so if you wish to connect it via Wireless, the easiest way is to purchase a USB Wireless Adapter that best matches your existing router at home. Hope that helps!

hi, no really, i have seen some articles on line that use this device to network internet over coaxial cable but not all devices will be able to read it . some directv receivers models are able to work with this equipment.

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.

I am wondering the same thing.What this person is asking is can we connect the phone using USB to the Router and will it see the phone like a 3G/4G USB dongle? My reason is I need to connect a Printer to the Ethernet (Wired) and use an Ipad connected Wireless to the router to have both Internet access (Shared through the phone connected to the Router) and Print in a special application. If I can use my Phone for the internet 'dongle', I have no 'extra' charges from Verizon to deal with.

Not exactly. This works just like your home WiFi router except there is only the one internet input connection. You the Ethernet connection from your internet router and plug it in the mini router. Now you will have a WiFi signal from which you can connect WiFi enabled devices.

This unit is used to connect a Directv receiver to a "whole house"system. It uses your Ethernet home system to receive content from a DVR receiver in a different room, like a Genie DVR.
