Question 1

I purchased this to give internet to my DirecTV DVR.

I can not get the box to connect to the internet. I tried the WPS and the manual settings. Neither worked.

I am using a ZOOM 5352 router. Any suggestions, or should I just return for replacement or refund?

The IOGear Adapter worked for me.  I was able to get an older blu-ray disc player with Ethernet connection (did not have built-in wifi) connected via wifi using the adapter.  RECOMMENDATION: Try using the adapter with a different device in the home (pc, bdp, tv) that has Ethernet connection only. If you're able to connect a different device with the adapter, then you'll know whether the Direct TV VCR is the problem or whether the IOGEAR adapter is faulty.

Question 2

Will this IOGEAR GWU627W6 Universal Wi-Fi N Adapter Multi-Language Version work to connect my HP Printer to my home PC via my in home WI-Fi network?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  It should work to bridge any any wired Ethernet link.  I have mine setup to connect my mining rig to my wireless access point on opposite sides of my apartment.  If your HP printer is newer, check to make sure it doesn't already have wireless connectivity built-in.
