...but I'll feel even stupider if I'm without connection from Europe tomorrow. Bought the WR702N for use in a hotel with wired internet only - using a borowed ipad with which I am not familiar. In testing at home both my laptop and the ipad connect fine when the TP is plugged in to my existing wi-fi router. There is no nternet access when plugged direct to incioming split phone line (broadband). Is that normal ? (told you I feel stupid). If so I can expect the hotel to have a router somewhere in the basement sorting out the front end and my room connection is actually to the hotel's router ?? yes/no. If so please send reassurance when you can spare a moment. If I need to take this a step further by assigning addresses and such please spare a moment to unsettle me. At present on my laptop the device is set to automatically detect ISP address as directed in quick installation. Sorry if this is very basic but after three hours of experiment there are other priorities befor a very early departure.

Normal. The port plugged in phone line is RJ11 port, while port on WR702N is RJ45 port.

Yes. Hotel wired connection comes from a router normally. If you connect a laptop to it by cable and access internet directly, WR702N will be able to work in access point mode and provide Wi-Fi.
