Does this modem allow for hardwire connection to a desktop computer? (through CAT5)

Not an answer but another question :-). Does this device also have more ethernet ports (4) like my present router that I use along with my DSL?? I presently have a need for three with equip. adjacent, nearby my router??? TIA for any info.

The only direct connection is through an Ethernet cable that can be run from the device to a laptop or desktop (an Ethernet cable is included). The laptop or desktop needs to have an Ethernet port. Otherwise, it needs to have a wireless card. There is no connection for a standard phone RJ-11 jack.

No this is made to utilize an ethernet cable attached to device. Remember it is coming out of your modem and utilizing the home wiring system to send the signal.

No, this simply transmits over Cat5e or Cat6 cabling, it has no networking function

No you can run the PCs directly to the ethernet switch and plug the access point into an open port configure it and you're all set.

Yes, you can connect it to pretty much any high speed modem. All you do is connect the ethernet cable from the cable modem (you know the one that looks like a fat phone cord) and plug it into router.

It is supposed to. However, I have found that the Ethernet over Power line solutions require resetting from time to time because the link unpredictably drops. I have not found these products to be reliable and have always ended up replacing them with a hard wired solution.

No, it needs to be hard wired to the network switch (PoE). It also has a USB cable that connects to a PC (i.e. a conference room PC) which is great as it fully integrates with LYNC.

Nope. Hard wired only but can use PoE (power over ethernet). THe one I bought from Amazon arrived with 100 ft of cable, a power injector and a small power adapter.

Yes. I do it all the time with my Cat 5e straight through cable to quickly transfer files between computers.

To my knowledge, no. I use the AC Ethernet adapters for wired connection which work great; I use a cheap switch to get multiple connections from one adapter. For instance, I use the AC Ethernet adapter and switch for to hard wire connect my TV, DVD (or Roku) and PC to the Internet. In another room, I use another Ethernet connected to my HT-WR02 to extend a strong wireless signal in the room and elsewhere around the house. Not sure if all of this information is helpful.

No. This allows you to send an hdmi signal over a cat5 cable for a far distance.

Yes; it has a connection marked "modem" to run to your cable modem. You can then run an Ethernet cable to your computer if you desire a wired connection or simply use it wirelessly. I use it both ways. This is an excellent, easy to set up modem.

not with this product. this product is intended to allow only a single cable (cat5/cat6) to provide both communications and Power to a Remote Access Point or Router.

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.

No it's Ethernet port does not support PoE. Its DC In port is its only intake for power.

No this unit is for wired direct to network! Works good though, as I have had mine for quite some time now!

You can hard wire only one computer to it . There is only one Ethernet slot and two phone jacks for the DSL connection.
