Does this enable multiple devices to be using internet at the same time?

If you're going to be plugging this directly into a cable modem or DSL modem, then NO. It does not assign IP addresses, for that you would need a router.If you already have a router that can assign IP addresses, then yes, this would basically be like adding more ports if you plug it in to your router.

In my set up, yes. If you are connecting straight from the cable modem, I don't think so. A cable modem is most likely only going to give out one IP address. However, I have a wireless router connected to the cable modem, so the router handles IP address assignment. I then have a 100' ethernet cable running form the router to this switch. I can have up to four devices connected to the switch at the same time and all will have internet access. Right now I have two connected.Hope that helps to clarify.

while everything everyone else has explained is correct, it also depends on the type of modem you have:for example, if you have a modem/router combo device (what is usually rented out by ISP's these days) then yes, this will allow even more devices, however if it's just a normal modem it more then likely will not

Yes, it does enable multiple devices to be using internet at the same time.

No.If you had two separate Ethernet cables and wanted to use each of them with the same device, but not at the same time, then this would help you.

Yes. Multiple connection points. I am using a cell modem (no cable or DSL available in my area) and it works great.

Yes, the device has site-to-site vpn ability as one router acting as a vpn server and the other acting as a vpn client

Check other responses, but it really only communicates during setup. Once you have devices added and timers set, it pretty much never uses the Internet until you add another device or change the setup/config.

Yes. I also have another set of devices that allow me to connect to the internet over the power lines. Neither interferes with each other.

it depends on whether the device you're plugging in has a built in bridge or not. For example: some cable boxes have and computers these built in and you can just plug them into the wall and they'll automatically detect the internet if it's there, so you would only need 1 of these.

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

Yes! We have tried 5 devices, and all worked perfectly. Have in mind though, this might slightly slow down your internet speed.

Sorry. Cannot help with this answer. Never tried using multiple devices at the same time.

I'm pretty sure that it shouldn't be able to function simultaneously on two seperate networks. I believe the two ports are for redundancy. But if it IS possible, then the networks would have to share IP space because you can only assign the terastation one single IP address

Yes, I did exactly that. The network becomes an Ethernet hub among all four devices, which share the available bandwidth among them.

I was able to get two working at once. Have not triedto get 3 acessing my router at once, but understand it can be done.

No. Only one computer can connect to a USB hub at a time. This is not a network hub or network router.

No, only one device at a time. The first one to connect stays connected until you turn either device off.

I remember reading at the time I bought the device, that it was possible to connect more than one unit on a network. I believe there are some steps that have to be taken for it all to work.

As long as your devices have Bluetooth capability, yes you can connect any two devices at one time.
