“Does the ethernet cable have to be hooked up all the time to the computer or just for the set up?”

• No. Once setup is complete the only thing the ethernet port gives is an additional connection to the now-extended network. If for example, you have a Blu-ray player with an ethernet port but no wi-fi, you can now attach this and connect that player to your network even though it doesn't have wi-fi.

• Hi Jay. No, the computer will only be connected during the setup process and can be unplugged once done. You may refer to this link for the setup instruction: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=140704
