A:AnswerIt is really un relevant which service provider you have, you just need to connect one of this to your modem, and the other to wherever you want it your house, it will grab the signal immediately, and forget about your issues with Wi-Fi.
A:AnswerYes you can. A wired connection will provide a faster experience over wireless almost all the time. However, keep in mind that you cannot increase or create more Internet bandwidth coming into your home. So while this device will give you a faster experience to your home router/modem, it will not increase Internet speeds above what you are already paying for. So if your son and niece are doing heavy duty gaming and/or video playback while you are trying to work, they could potentially "slow" you down if you do not have a strong signal to begin with. The only true way to ensure you will not be impacted is to pay more for higher speeds which most Internet providers offer and many have done during the pandemic due to the increase strain on Internet services in the home. But I definitely recommend this device because being wired vs. wireless is a good place to start!
A:AnswerYou don't have to plug the router power cord into the Powerline. Just plug the Powerline into a receptacle close to the router and then the ethernet cable from the powerline to the router.
A:AnswerYes you have to plug it directly to the wall outlet. Then you could plug the surge outlet to the netgear outlet if you have other devices on the surge protector.
