Is a router a necessity?
JohnSV:
Just wondering if it's possible to network my OBi 100 straight onto a laptop, and if so, how?

Thanks for the link, but I meant wired, not wireless. I'm connected to the internet via a community (meraki) wireless network. Cannot have any shared connections open for others to hook into. My router is wireless one and useless since it requires a dsl modem for internet access, which I don't have. So the ATA needs to go through the pc, as I understand, perhaps through a wired router first. Or?

Here is a diagram of my suggested setup.
ATA->Wired Connection->PC->Wireless Connection->Router->Internet
Isn't this what you want?
You don't need any device between your OBi and the PC.

Good to hear the ATA connects directly to the pc and I don't have to buy another router... Network Sharing Center shows an ethernet conn. but no internet access. Clicking on the etherlink gives a status page with packets sent but non received.
Ethernet properties Networking link shows a bunch of ticked boxes with install/uninstall links; while the one clickable box in the Sharing link gives me the option to now disconnect my WiFi connection to the internet and enable the internet connection through 'Ethernet' instead. This cannot be the way to proceed, as my ethernet conn. only goes as far as my pc, or?
Doing an ipconfig shows one ethernet adapter and four tunnel adapters. (three with disconnected medias) one Local Area Conn. *16
Connection=specific DNS Suffix: blank
IPv6 Address: listed
Link-local IPv6 Address: listed
Default Gateway: ::
How should I proceed please to both retain my WiFi connection to the internet and get the ATA recognized by the pc...
