Hello - I find using this device very sporadic .. meaning my wifi kicks out every single day.. if I am away from unit say 100 feet - I am NOT very happy at all with the performance - BUT I say this .. not knowing if it is in fact our main router - although I did have another much less expensive device that I used (Securifi Almond-Touchscreen Wireless Router extender) and that worked so well .. but it was not meant for the outdoors. I wish I had done a bit more investigating .. for the money spent .. I am not happy ..sorry ..

Yes, we do this at work. The default config is an access point but changing that is very easy to do with either the included software or through a web browser. We are bridging two buildings about 60 feet apart and run one HD security camera, 6 IP phones and 6 users across it without problems.

Yes but this is a better. EnGenius ENH210EXT Network Wireless N 300M Outdoor 2.4GHz Access Point. Had too many issues with Hawking. Had two bad right out of box.

Yes, this was built for exactly that kind of use and environment. On initial setup, I believe that is the default behavior. Having said that, the one caveat with this device is the importance of the initial setup. It isn't difficult, but it will require a computer, network, proper cabling,and about ten minutes.

This is an access point only. It does not route or NAT. It needs to be behind a router/firewall of some kind. It only bridges wifi devices to an existing 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.

In a short answer....yes. These nano's have different modes like bridge, or access point. However there Is alot Of factors that have to be taken into account. Like distance from your router to the nano and the amount Of trees or walls between radios. I can bridge from a cisco e4000 to a nano at about 200 yards line Of sight

"with lots of trees in between" could be a problem. I use mine to connect to hot spots at RV sites and at my home from my RV, generally this is line of sight. You would not need a cable modem, the typical setup is a tp link hard wired directly to a Host (laptop, or pc something with a network connector) or to a router at the destination. The router can then provide wifi to the local destination area. Think of it this way: the tp-link boosts the reception and transmission capacity of your destination device, but it ain't magic. 600 feet across a big empty parking lot, no problem. Between two buildings with no obstructions, no problem. Ground level with trees, it might work, but don't be surprised if it doesn't. With the situation as you describe it, you would only need one

No. The device you are referring to is called a "wireless bridge" (wifi repeater). This device is a wireless router that makes a wired connection accessible to wireless devices.

The router has no feature to be configured as a wireless bridge. You might want to consider the WRT1900AC router which has the Wireless Bridge feature.

POE won't work over this. You have to put the injector after this link. It is Ethernet link only.

No. You can use either the Firewire OR the USB to connect to the enclosure, but the device does not work as a bridge.

Yes, depending on your configuration, you may have to configure this DSL as a bridge and use your wireless router as a router or leave the DSL modem as a router and configure your wireless router as a WIFI access point. you have flexibility with two configuration choices.

if your computer can communicate IP over WiFi, then you should have no problem. This is the same as connecting to a home router. All it does is extend the range of your current router, you don't need to do anything to your computer, just connect to the internet through your router as you did before, using the same SSID and password ( if necessary). This device will allow you to do this further away from your router than you used to do.

If I remember right there was a selection for bridged mode in the setup wizard. The other thing I changed was I turned off NAT and let my WIFI router handle NAT. The only other concern is that the modem will still use 192.168.1.1 as a LAN port address. You want a different address range for your WIFI router that the modem.

you can use all 4 port as switch, u r going 2 b connected 2 the router via wireless, also on bridge mode

I was just about to post the same question. I really don't want to run an ethernet line over to the player. I've looked at wireless access points but they're not much cheaper than a full blown router. I'm starting to think I'll end up with another wireless router (with 4 or more ports) to use as a bridge to my existing wireless lan. I just really don't want to spend upwards of $100 just to get bdlive.

yes definitely! Basically you can connect any device that shares the same Ip subnet as the rest of your devices on your network. If you are always choose "automatically obtain an address" you will not even have to think about the Ip Subnet part it will be handled for you :) . The way mine is connected to my network is: - take the included Ethernet cable - plug one end into the switch - plug the other end into one of the ports (normally labeled LAN) on your routerAfter you do this any device connected either to your router or to this switch will be able to contact the internet or connect to other computers that are attached to the switch or the router. yes definitely!

I think you can, but not sure. I have not tried that, but I think it can be done, but will require more than just plugging the devices together. Something about creating a network so you will be able to see both computers.

This is a bridge. You would be able to connect multiple Ethernet devices to this bridge if you wanted. You're still using your WiFi. If you have a buffer problem this unit, or any other you purchase would not likely remedy that problem.
