If you don't have a cable box and only a cable connection at the wall, how is the wireless unit connected? Also, can it be connected to a router?

You must have a cable box to use this tv. A router would not work either . This is a transmit and receive System. It must have a video input for the transmitter.

I personally have it set up wireless through my router; but the instruction book states that you can use an USB-Ethernet adaptor and plug it into the USB port in the back of the unit. If you get it, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

This isn't a cable modem, it's just a wireless router. The thing that looks like a cable connector is for the antenna. If you want to connect this to your cable service you'll also need a cable modem.

Hi Anne, This is a Modem only. It has no inherent router/wireless capabilities. It has a port for the Coaxial cable and another port, Ethernet, to plug in the Cable from your router. Normally, your router will have a special ethernet port for the wire to the modem and 4 other ethernet ports. I have this modem for over a year now and it has been pretty reliable, only dropping the connection when Comcast burps. Good Luck Jim

Yes, a small wire has to connect the two units. I'm using mine between our house and a garage 200 feet away. I'm using an existing pair of unused telephone wires to make the connection. If you don't have any easy way of routing a pair of wires between the units, I opt for a wireless unit.

you need the internet. additionally,i never could get it set up without being able to hard wire it to a router before using it wirelessly. which made it useless for my situation.(no access to router, just a wireless signal.

I have not tried it using it with wireless cable boxes myself but it does have an ethernet cable connection and a USB port.

There is an ethernet port on the back that connects to the router. That should work. Personally, I already have a Roku box so I just needed it for Blu-ray. I am very pleased with the unit.

Easy to set up, all u need is ur router password. Since it is wireless, you do not use a cable. I set mine up at a mid point between my router and the "dead zone", works great.

I only have my TV, VCR and Comcast box attached to mine. (The wi-fi and cable router are plugged into the strip on the "always on" side.) [ Not sure this is enough help for you. ]

It is connected via an ethernet cable (no wireless). Personally I bought a cheap wireless bridge ( http://www.amazon.com/Edimax-EW-7228APn-150Mbps-Wireless-Extender/dp/B005KN1YV6 ) and plugged the receiver and all my other internet-saavy A/V equipment into that. I figure I will never need to stream more than 1 of those devices at once so why not plug them into a single point.

You will need an Ethernet cable to connect to your router. This will make you system connected to your wireless network.

You only need to connect it to your computer to set it up. Once it is setup you disconnect it from your computer and install it where ever you want. You never need to connect it to your computer again. The disc that comes with the router will walk you through the setup. Of course you do need to connect it by Ethernet cable to the box you were given by your internet provider. Also you need to plug it into the wall socket.

No. It is not a wireless unit. It is for connecting things using USB cables.

The only thing mine is connected to is the cable box...sorry, I don't have a clue.

Hi,I am using a NET GEAR power LIne wireless access port WGX102, that I bought at Best Buy for $89.Works great.One unit plugs into the wall near my router and plugs into that via a ethernet wire. The second unit is plugged in near the player with an ethernet cable plugged into that. Took a few minutes to work but it did. I am sure there are other methods to connect via wireless connection, but not even the people at the Sony store were able to help. Any kind of wireless bridge should do the trick.

On it's own, it doesn't have wireless connection, or Ethernet connection.But maybe you can connect it through a PC that will server you for this purpose, and that will be connect to the network.
