Do I need to use two ports on my router + 2 outlets next to the router to use one wireless adapter + one 4-ports adapter?

You'll use 1 port in your router to send the signal the the Powerline adapter--> Powerline adapter will use 1 outlet, then wherever you're sending the singal near your PC or whatever, you'll use another outlet.

No. Call Cisco Support after you watch their on-line videos for the Powerline products. Once it clicks for you will be amazed how simple it is!

Just one port on your router plus one power outlet near the router... On the other end (where you want to get the network signal), you will need one power outlet and then an ethernet cable to each device you want to connect (you can connect 4 devices)

Chris, You only use one port on your router and one AC outlet near your router for the "transmit" side and then in the remote area of your home you would then plug in the "receiver" side into another AC outlet. Once that is done and you configure everything (which is super easy) the receiver side will automatically start broadcasting your wifi and extending your coverage.

No, one port on router, one outlet near the router and another outlet in the area where you want to extend the wired connection. You then use an Ethernet cable plugged into this unit at the extended location and connect to the device you want to use at this location. If you want to do this with a wireless connection, you need a different product, PLWK400. But back to the PLEK400, you only need the kit with 4 ports if you have multiple devices at the extended location.

only one port on the router. The plug in adapters are large. The can share with a standard sized plug but will not share space with another "space hog".

Absolutely. You can do it all on one port and add a switch, or use all the of ports. That's the whole benefit of a real switch/router.

Yes, you will need to plug this into one of your ports on the wireless router.

No you do not. I personally have some Actiontek modem/router combo. An adapter is just a means to connect to a router, so it is irrelevant as to what the router is. Sometimes matching brands for both is better, but not required. Just make sure both the adapter and router are on the same wireless protocol and bandwidth (the gHz).

Yes. You can use all 3 ports at the same time. I ran this setup on my box with no problems. I don't think the type of adapter you're using matters.

Yes. You can use multiple extenders in the same house. Each must be able to connect to the primary router.

As long as you only have one router providing dhcp, yes this will allow you to add more ports to your network and still use the wireless. most installations will plug the wireless router into the cable modem and the trendnet into the wireless router. Many wireless routers will have an Internet port that plugs into your cable modem.

Yes, I have a 4 port in the living room area and a second 4 port in the master bedroom. Works just fine.

Yes - but not if you only use the splitter on the jack end near your workstation & AppleTV device. You MUST use the other splitter (comes in the set) on the opposite end of the cable that feeds the wall jack in question to patch that one jack to TWO open ports on your router/switch. This is NOT a splitter in the traditional sense you might be used to with a cable-tv (F-type coaxial) splitter where you can just magically make 1 outlet feed 2 devices. It it really a combiner-splitter where it sends two feeds over a single cable and then splits them back out on the other end. Please be sure that you have 2 open ports on your network router/switch equipment to feed these 2 devices BEFORE you order this. If you do - and you install it correctly - everything will work beautifully.

Yes, you can have two kits (4 power line units) to work with your router. With one unit plugs into the wall power outlet and Ethernet cable connects to your router. Three other units in a different rooms also plugging in wall power outlet and connect to other computer, laptop etc... through Ethernet cables or wireless if your units supported wireless. You can use the default security setup or your own security by following factory recommendation.

No you need 2 units, one for the router and one for the modem, then multiple ethernet cables ti connect it all

Yes, I bought the 5 port switch for that. You connect the router to the switch and then plug the TV and the blueray into the switch. Basically it allows you to connect multiple stuff using 1 feed to your router.

Yes, you will need two of them. You are exactly right one for modem and the other wherever you want. I will say it is better than wireless but don't expect blazing speeds.

This set will allow you to connect (1) unit (single port) to router. The other (4 port) anywhere in the house you need internet. To add more rooms, you can buy extra single port units or buy another set like this and plug them around the house. Any single or multiple port units work as long as you have one unit to the router.

Worked for me. I have a router splitter as well to have more ports. Nancy.velasquez@icloud.com

Yes, if you want wireless access to your network from other devices. This does not replace your router or modem. As someone else pointed out, you do need two MoCA adaptors (see reviews for options, you don't need two of these specific ones). However, if you have FiOS (or POSSIBLY other cable internet) your provider's router is already the other MoCA adaptor theta you need.

the Linksys Powerline AV 4-Port Network adapter kit... Is already a 4-port switch. So, if you need more than the 4 ports, then Yes, you can use the one of the ports to connect another Switch to add more ports.
