Is this device network ready? If not, how can it be adapted?

Our IT guys loaded the device drivers that come with the unit on our server. The unit has worked very well with no problems.

it's plug and play. go to settings, network settings, and view your connections. you'll see a list of available networks

Yes. Not a problem. Although I have a local network, my whole set-up is wired because everything is close and that's the most direct way for me to handle it.

Yes, you need to know how to do it manually because the Wizard won't have that as an option, but Yes each port can be configured however you want.

Not completely sure I understand the question.... but the unit has the standard internal Wi-Fi a/b/and n compatible......

yes, it is easy to map as a network drive. I have mapped it to both Windows 7 and 8, as well as Linux

Yes, but because it will be using the 10.x.x.x private network type, it will need to reconfigured to that kind of subnet. I will recommend fist to plug it to a computer using rj45 cable and configure it there.

Yes, I believe so. That's not how I have my TeckNet set up, but the device has two ethernet ports on the bottom; one is labelled LAN, the other is labelled WAN/LAN. The cable from your router should go to the WAN/LAN port, and once set to the mode that allows the device to act as a normal wireless access point, it should be ready to use.

Yes that will work. You do need to configure the device as per instructions

Heck if I know. Seems kinda long run. That's what the wifi is for. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I'm not too savvy on this technology.

I had the same question, and so far from exeriments the answer seems to be no. Specifically if you set it up as a wireless client, it will act as a hub rebroadcasting wireless (on a new SSID) to other wireless clients, but it doesn't allow access from a 'wired client' connected to the ethernet socket.. (Which is a shame). Wonder if this might be fixable with a firmware upgrade? Would make the box even more useful...

Yes, the device can do that. You may see a little lag off and on depending on wireless conditions.

No, this is a simple unmanaged switch, meaning no configuration or management capability - plug and play right out of the box. You need a more sophisticated managed enterprise switch to configure and support features such as link aggregation and VLAN creation.

Update: This thread got me wired just now...Wireless is in the works. [ndiswrapper isn't so friendly to this one for some reason - perhaps I nabbed the wrong wireless driver..]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409939

No, you can connect the unit directly to a standard router or switch - hub. This will link both network environments.

I'm using it with Netgear ones and it works fine though I couldn't configure it using the Netgear software - had to configure them from the D-Link admin page
