What is an ETHERNET? Why do I have to have it before using my 8.1? Why didn't it come with the computer's other cords?

Ethernet is only if you are going to hard wire to the internet. Most people have a wireless modem and hook up their computer that way, thus no wire.

In this case Ethernet is referred to the internet connection, this computer does not have a WiFi card so you have to plug it to get internet access using a Ethernet cable, Google Ethernet cable to see an image you may have one. Normally you will plug it to the modem or router or the wall depending where you have your Ethernet connection. If you want a WiFi connection you will have to buy a WiFi adapter, they are not expensive.

It's a 2nd Ethernet port bridged to the main one but without PoE input or output. This means you can connect any wired Ethernet device to it. One use would be to daisy-chain additional ones of these access points for more coverage. For that you would need to re-inject power at a point between each access point though.

"with Ethernet" means it can send data as well as audio and video together in this one cable.for example practical use you could network multiple multimedia devices that are hdmi Ethernet compliant without the need of an Ethernet Cable.This feature maybe of no relevance at the moment but future multimedia devices will most definitely utilize this Ethernet feature

Its listed in the sales info. IIRC I got a ethernet cable and a power cable. Some brochures.

I used a standard ethernet cable. Plugging one of these to each end allowed a crossover between two computers. I was creating an in-home LAN.

Hello Angel! To be honest I'm not sure about that. Mine isn't in the livingroom, it's in my bedroom and needs the Ethernet cord to be able to go online. Sorry I couldn't give you more then that.

Find a friend with a laptop. The Chrome books I've seen do not have an Ethernet port.

Needs Ethernet cable, but can be expanded to WiFi with additional not included WiFi dongle.

thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe they'd leave the ethernet port off of the "streamlined" model, though. Very annoying! Hopefully still worth it, though. Should be a great picture, which is the most important part.

Yes it does. With the trend of excluding older hardware from newer computers, I don't see Ethernet going out anytime soon. It's the fastest possible connection and all business still rely on wired connection rather than range limiting wi-fi or other wireless connections.

No you need 2 units, one for the router and one for the modem, then multiple ethernet cables ti connect it all

I can't recall if it comes with a cable or not, but it is just a standard Ethernet cable that is needed.

There is no Ethernet port. However, there are two USB ports, so you could purchase a USB Ethernet adapter for $15-$30 in order to use a wired Ethernet connection.

Hi, Jeremy. Since this is a dedicated modem, you cannot finish its setup without a computer with an ethernet jack

There are no Ethernet ports. There are no cables nor adapters that come inside box other than AC charger. If you want access to Ethernet, you'll have to purchase an adapter as you've mentioned above either USB2.0 or USB3.0...
