OK Patch files are nonexistent at this point. the providers have changed encryption and it has not been broken yet. the dongle is a workaround to get you tv it connects to the internet and provides the encryption keys from a legit card. hope this answers your questions.

The Dongle works well. There are posts on this forum on how to install it and set it up. look for this post under Conaxsat general discusion.

One thing with the mini you absolutely need a 5 volt power adapter because the RS-232 port (null modem port) is not powered on the mini. Some dealers sell it separately if they have them at all.

If your router is configured as an access point you should be able to plug your dongle into it and be up and running. You will have to look up the manual for your router.
It is possible and usually not that difficult to set up. I am using a Linksys wireless router to broadcast and TP-link wireless access point as the connection for the dongle. So similar situation.
