Yes. The instructions say connect one end into the Ethernet port of the internet-enabled device such as modem or router and the other end into the Ethernet port of the DIR-505L then select from your laptop or device select wireless networks available and the D-Link includes a card with the name and password you can use to link up. You can use it the same way in the repeater mode entering your D-Link name and password or set it up manually using the Wi-Fi username and password. I hope this helps. I use mine as a repeater. My D-Link is downstairs and my router upstairs. I entered my D-Link name and Password that came with my purchase of my D-Link and when people come to my house they can select D-Link in their available Wi-Fi connections without my password. Hope this helps.

I use this D-Link as an extender. However it doubles as a travel router for IPhones, IPads or Android devices. You can plug this into your car using the converter and use it as a charger for your devices. You will be able to search and download from the App Store (search QRS Mobile) a code to use with your IPad. Now wh…

You can plug this into your car using the converter and use it as a charger for your devices. You will be able to search and download from the App Store (search QRS Mobile) a code to use with your IPad. Now when you use it as a router you will have to be parked so you can look for a WI-FI wireless network (free or you know the WI-FI name and password) available in the location you are in. Instructions are included with your D-Link. You can add storage to your mobile devices with your USB stick from the USB plug in on the D-Link and it also has a internet/LAN port. I purchased from my mobile carrier WI-FI hot spot probably easier.

This will connect to one Internet wifi connection and re distribute Internet on its own wifi network to 10 devices. I use mine all the time in hotels. It connects to the hotel wifi and all my devices are connected to this unit.
Hello I talked to my neighbor (I have this system but he knows more about it) he said if you cannot pick up a signal anywhere in your house as close as you can get with your Ipad then it's questionable that you could use the extender because it has to have a signal available to use.

Hello I talked to my neighbor (I have this system but he knows more about it) he said if you cannot pick up a signal anywhere in your house as close as you can get with your Ipad then it's questionable that you could use the extender because it has to have a signal available to use. So the extender has to be placed in a straight line from your mom's modem for it to pick it up and as close as you can get the D-link in your house to your moms. I don't think it will work but ask For product support visit http://support.dlink.com I switched to Netgear available at Best Buy for around 70 dollars works much better because the support is in fan configuration instead of the D-link straight line. Hope I helped.

I'm not an ethernet networking expert. I bought this shareport for hotel use while traveling with iPad and smartphones. I do think you can use this D-Link shareport to give your bluray wireless function. You will need to use the ethernet port and cable to connect to your bluray's ethernet port. Set the dlink shareport mode switch to the "right" wireless mode setting. A better solution is to use either PowerLine adapter (500mbs version) or MOCA = media over coax, v1 spec = 270mbs (by ActionTec). Powerline adapter uses your house's electrical wiring. You'll need two adapters = one for each end to connect the bluray and the other to connect to your wifi router. Suggest getting adapters with the 500mbp spec/support. Faster/more bps is better for streamming. MOCA uses the coax wiring, you are using for your cable TV box. Each MOCA adapter allows you share the coax wire for your cable TV signal and ethernet. You may need two adapters = one for each end to connect the bluray and the other to connect to your wifi router. If you have FIOS...then only 1 adapter is needed on the bluray end as FIOS's cable modem/router uses MOCA already (built-in). Note = new MOCA v2 standard is now out (ie. more bps) and new v2 adapters should be coming out within 6 months or sooner. (Personally, this is what I'm waiting to buy & use). Good luck

The 505L is a newer model. The only difference I have noticed so far is that in the 505L model you can flip the connectors, so it is easier to pack. In the older models it is fixed
