It all depends on what kind of router or modem you have but but i'm sure it will if not just connect your second computer to your wi-fi.

If you have 2 routers on the same network you should disable DHCP on one of the routers. Keep the DHCP enabled on the primary router that way you don't have 2 routers providing IP Addresses which they will conflict not allowing you to connect to the internet. Hope this helps

I hooked up the ARRIS modem to a Netgear router and from my router I connected my desktop computer. My laptop picks up internet signals from anywhere in my house. So it works.

It is NOT a modem, it is a wireless router. Modems are usually different, and I always suggest people get a SEPARATE modem for whatever technology they're using (DSL, Cable, WISP, Cell Data card, etc). This will work with any modem using ethernet connections.

This not a modem this is an AP. But what you are intending would work if you connect this to your modem through a LAN cable and use the wireless SSID from netgear. I believe that you will still have to use your modem and are talking about the "weak" wireless connection through your modem. So in this case your modem is acting as modem + wireless router. Also check other high strength routers or may be amplifiers if you just want that. There should be a comparison for strengths of routers somewhere. I use this in my apt so cannot comment on the range.

You don't need a desktop PC. All you need is your broadband Ethernet from your modem plugged into this router and all your wireless devices will work on it. Laptop and PS3 included.

I think this link will explain it real well for you. The Net gear N450 provides the wireless interface between your computer and the modem. Great router fo the money since most computer can only do b/g/n protocol. Very few can do A/C so wait a couple years to buy a A/C router. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct;=j&q;=&esrc=s&source;=web&cd;=1&cad;=rja&uact;=8&ved;=0CB4QFjAA&url;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pcmag.com%2Fencyclopedia%2Fterm%2F63628%2Fmodem-vs-router&ei;=MnEOVJ7AK5TcoASpyIGIAw&usg;=AFQjCNHZmqhvxKQLyT-oJreij3Ihlf4k3A&sig2;=JbxJymrVNniI9Xm_iZeMMw&bvm;=bv.74894050,d.cGU

This does not have a built in modem, the only advice I can give you for finding a built in Modem/Router is to look for a Router built for Gaming, they are always the best as online gaming requires large amounts of data flow, out and in. Myself personally, I would never combine the two. Reason, because if one goes out, they both go out. At least if the router quits working you can still Ethernet into the modem and get online.

Yes, you would also need the modem. The internet provider I am currently using provided the modem, but I needed to purchase the router - so it is not "all in one".

This will work with any modem / router. Just connect this to your modem / router with an Ethernet cable and you're good to go.I use it with my Verizon Fios Wireless Router. The Verizon wireless is downstairs and this is upstairs. Having two wireless networks in the house is a blessing. If one network has heavy traffic we switch to the other.

Yes, I have wifi set up at my house for my other computer, and I use it for the internet on my ASUS. It works fine, after you set it up!

Hi.If you already have an existing network and multiple computers are already connecting, then you already have a router system at your home. Your modem may already have routing functions built-in to it. In that case you wont need to get a router.Thanks.Cisco-Linksys Supporthttp://homesupport.cisco.com

You'll need to be more specific, but this is not a router a router will take your internet connection and share it, it has whats called built in DHCP which basically hands out IP addresses on a subnetwork to allow your PC's to talk. The router in turn gets your internets IP adress, typically you only get one so you have to share it with many computers in your home. A switch merely splits the router it doesn't hand out ip address on its own. Think of it like a surge protector getting power and sharing it with others, then another power strip that is also connected to the surge protector, with out that first surge protector the other would have no power of its own. Not the best analogy but i hope it helps. If this is not your exact issue please post more details.

Depends if your cable modem has a usb port, but I'd guess it wouldn't work. Usually a router is something that has a usb port for something like this. This would allow you to plug a drive into it and then be able to access it from computers on your network: http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-WNR3500L-Open-Source-WNR3500Lv2-Processor/dp/B002RYYZZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428902380&sr=8-1&keywords=WNR3500L

Required a 2nd Ethernet port on your Router to connect the power line adapter. Unless you have your router connect to the Powerline and get your desktop to be wireless or with another set of power line adapter.

More info is needed. Do you already have a router hooked up to your internet connecton and/or modem? Are you trying to use this router in addition to try and extend your signal? . You could buy a gigabit roter. But if you dont want to do that this may answer your question, You should put a router after your connection and then a switch and/or hub. Then hard wired computers to the switch. So it goes like this Internet&gt;router&gt;switch&gt;PCs hardwired, if you want to avoid issues.
