“Will this work on a desktop with a wired network connection I am looking to connect a desktop to wireless printers and also a wireless tv monitor adapter. The desktop already has a wired ethernet connection to the network that I need to keep active. Can you tell me if these two devices can be active at the same time and not cause problems. Thank you.”

Yes. Multiple wireless devices will work in the same vicinity and off of the same computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That's not really the way you do this and I don't think it can work that way. What you want to do is keep your PC wired only. Get a network router that supports wifi. It will have at least 4 wired ports on it so you can connect your PC to it (just like you do with your existing router). You'll set up your wireless network, then configure your wireless printers to use that wi-fi network. Now, from your PC's point of view, it'll see those printers, just as if they were physically connected to the network.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This works for me. So long as you're within your wi fi area, the desktop will be able to communicate with the wireless printer. I believe you need wireless network service (using a wireless router) so that all wireless components can communicate within your house, office or wherever you are. I don't think just the computer and the printer can work together without actual wi fi already existing. I'm assuming you might not have wi fi since you're hard wired with your ethernet?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That should be no problem at all. My desktop has both wired and wireless, as does my laptop. though, this will not act as a wireless router. If you have a wireless router that your wireless devices connect to, you may want to check it's settings, it may be hiding the wireless devices from the wired network, and this can be turned off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. Once you install the Netgear on your desktop you will not have any issues.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This will wirelessly connect to your wifi connection/provider. It acts to connect to wifi so you can provide to the other devices you mentioned. Mine connects for a wireless printer, Roku, iPad and cell phone(s).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use mine with a wired ethernet connection, it works fine, no interference.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am using this adapter with a wireless monitor adapter (can be used for projectors & TVs also) without any problems. Attached both devices to a USB hub on my desk. When I need to wait on customers at the counter, I carry my wireless keyboard and mouse to the counter and process payments using the second monitor on a swing arm mount on the wall by the counter. At this point I am 20 feet away from the computer tower and hub. I have not had any problems.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, your computer uses just one connection to the Internet, so it will need to be wired or wireless. The printer connects to your network itself not to the wifi adapter. The adapter connects your computer to that same network so the two can communicate. You could still use the wifi adapter though and just unplug the Ethernet connection when you need to print. Or just switch the connection in the network adapter screen. But you can't do both at once.
