Ok this is how we used the cables. We had purchased a new TV (Sears), a sony blu ray w/built in WiFi (Amazon), and a 4 way HDMI switch w/wireless remote (Walmart) that were all connected to each other with the cables. Since we have a wireless router in the house for internet, we didn't have to do anything with the router or computer. This basically turns your TV into a big screen tablet. Dont know if this helps.

Hello Richard, The Ethernet component does not affect the Audio or Video. This is a built-in feature that would allow you to utilize Ethernet sharing via HDMI ports if your devices support this. As of right now, there are no devices on the market that support this function but the idea is that if you have internet access using your BluRay player, then you could share that internet access with your smart TV if both the smart TV and the BluRay player supported Ethernet sharing via HDMI. This would eliminate the need for additional WiFi connections or a separate Ethernet cable to the TV. But again, this is not currently being used in today's devices to my knowledge. It was included in the latest HDMI specification and so our cable has the ability.

The ROKU connects to one TV at a time directly. The particular model you are looking at only connects to the Internet wirelessly (it does not have an Ethernet connection). I hope this answers your question

If your asking can you hook a wireless router to this the answer is yes. You have to connect the unit to your TV with a HDMI cable. You can also run an Ethernet cable from your modem to the unit if you do not have a router. I have all 3 of my units connected to my wireless router.

You need an cat5 ethernet cord. I also found the system quite buggy. Would probably gotten something else. Also wouldnt do the update but leave it as is? Troublesome but attractive hardware.

You can buy as many as 16 TrendNet TPL-401E units to meet the needs of devices you are trying to connect via 'Ethernet' in rooms that don't actually have Ethernet ports. One will connect to your modem and the rest in rooms that don't have Cat. 5 ports. As for your TVs, if they do not have Ethernet ports, then I'm not sure how you can connect the Ethernet cables. But if they do, then your are good to go. Make sure you use the provided installation cd to install the utility on your computer and you can register it as well. There is a newer model TPL-406 but that is a limited one where it expands to only 7 devices. I would go with the TPL-401E which transmits 500Mbps up to a range of 300 meters (984 ft.). It is very important to understand that all you electrical outlets need to be on the same electrical circuit. Sometimes 2 story homes have two separate circuits, in which case if the modem in on the lower level and the upper level of the home is on a separate circuit, the connection bridge will not work. Hope this helped, good luck.

No you cannot connect to ethernet. you can connect to WIFI only. This is a portable device why would you tie it down with a cable?

You need to put your router with the tv and connect direct from tv to router. Hardware. Then use a wireless adapter to connect your PC' s to the router

You don't have to run an ethernet cable to your Roku, - But you can if you choose to. It also works withwireless internet. I prefer to run an ethernet cable from my router because the signal where I live is betterwith the cable as opposed to fighting the prime times of wireless use in my neighborhood.This model allows for an ethernet input. Most of newer models of Roku are wireless only. Look at what the model offers as far as connectivity before you choose. But, you can't go wrong with a Roku. They are robust and reliable.

You need a splitter, you take the cable from the wall jack into a coax splitter. One split goes to the set top box of your TV, the other to the Actiontec. You connect the ethernet jack to the PS4 and you're up and working. Using mine on PS3 that way works great.

If your TV has Ethernet connection socket, then this device can help you connect the TV to internet. The device is able to harness WiFi signal and output it through Ethernet port. Then you can connect your TV through Ethernet cable.

Yes. I am using it for TV box but the same idea applies. It bridges using a wireless connection so any device near it can use a wire ethernet connection. You set it up, plug it in. Setup is very easy and simple. Anyone can do it. Just follow the instructions and find out what your home network address space is. (i.e. 192.168.x.2, network mask is 255.255.255.0) name your bridge 192.168.x.2. You should reserve the address space of 192.168.x.1-10 for your routers.

It works fine for me. It's mostly your internet modem/router. I occasionally have this problem where my internet would randomly cut off at one point while still being connected and I'd have to refresh the page when watching YouTube videos but it's ambiguous whether it's the Ethernet cable or the ISP itself.

You only need to connect it to your computer to set it up. Once it is setup you disconnect it from your computer and install it where ever you want. You never need to connect it to your computer again. The disc that comes with the router will walk you through the setup. Of course you do need to connect it by Ethernet cable to the box you were given by your internet provider. Also you need to plug it into the wall socket.

Help this is a old post, but you mention you are using a powerline adapter to run internet from router to tv area. I have a powerline adapter connected to my blue ray player and now I realize that I need to connect my direct tv reciever to the internet as well to get the on demand features and I do not know how to share the powerline adapter so that they both can get the internet, what hub are you using and does this mena that the powerline adapter is connected to the hub and the ethernet cable from the direct tv reciever and blue ray player are plugged into the hub thanks for the help

This MODEM acts as a network wireless router. As the others have said you MUST do the initial setup by connecting to your computer via an Ethernet cable. After that you can connect wirelessly. I decided to keep my Ethernet connection as it is faster and more reliable. There are three extra Ethernet ports to connect other computers or other Ethernet devices devices like my Blue Ray player streaming Net Flix and other web content.

I have mine connected to the coax cable from the wall and then an Ethernet cable to my router. I would assume that connecting it to the computer would work.

It should work through the wired ethernet connection. You would have to plug it into the internet or ISP connection on the router.
