I know there are two type of cables... not sure which one I need, can I run this from router to Netflix box, laptop upstairs? RIGHT?!!

These are similar to telephone cables, but they're wider. Take any telephone cable and try and plug it into your netflix box. IF the telephone cabe is too small or narrow for netflix box and the router, then you need the Ethernet cable. The Ethernet cable has a wider head, a wider plug.

Geeze people, WAKE UP!! These ARE NOT networking devices!! Period!! Let me repeat. THESE ARE NOT NETWORKING DEVICES!! Period! You receive two identical balun per package. You then connect the two together using Cat5 or Cat6 cabling which have RJ45 connectors on each end. Using Cat5 or Cat6 cabling is ONLY, and I repeat ONLY FOR C0NNECTING THE TWO BALUNS TOGETHER! These ARE NOT networking devices!!! These devices are used to EXTEND a video signal and/or power! Nothing more!! THESE ARE NOT NETWORKING DEVICES!! PERIOD!! Just because they use Cat5 or Cat6 cabling... DOES NOT MAKE THEM NETWORK DEVICES!! If you INSIST on thinking these are network devices, YOU WILL DO SERIOUS HARM TO YOUR NETWORKING SYSTEM!! PERIOD!! Ok, now for those who are still not getting the message here.... THESE A-R-E N-O-T , repeat, A-R-E N-O-T NETWORKING DEVICES!! PERIOD!!!

You should be able to plug it into any CAT5 plug. It shouldn't matter since it is on your LAN.

This device is not encapsulating the signal in a TCP packet. It's just using the wiring from the cable. So it won't work over a router.

This will work just fine to go from a router to tv. Always buy cables like this online, they are crazy over priced in local stores.

I really don't know. I had some issues so I ran an ethernet line, and Netflix works great.My house has a lot of concrete in it and it seems to prohibit the WIFI from being effective.

Run an ethernet cable to a router that hooks up to the internet. The computer hooks to the internet the same way, so the two install the same way. We Stream Netflix.

If both devices have an ethernet port, you could connect them; not sure what type of cable modem you are using. Try it, shouldn't damage anything.

No,you need a different kind of router.If you go on Amazon's website you will find what you need.

We also have cable, we had to have a small cable connector box in the cabinet above. You might need to call your cable co to ask them if this is what you need also...

All you need is cat5 cable, the same type of cable you connect to your router. I however had very little luck using the ze102 unit. When they did work, the speed was so slow it wasn't worth using and most of the time I could not connect at all. I was on the same circuit when using the xe102 so there must have been another issue. It ended not worth my time to try to trouble shoot. Thought I got a plug and play unit and all I got was an expensive plug.

I don't know; I hope someone else can help you with this. I only have used it with my computer and there is a router attached to the upstairs computer.

This device isn't meant to be hooked directly into an ethernet cable to my knowledge. It is meant to take a coax cable in and have ethernet outs. For example with FiOS, the coax cables are usually already 'hot' in that they carry the internet/tv signals ready for use. This device connects directly to the coax to then provide multiple Ethernet ports. If you're looked to take ethernet from you router and break it out into multiple ethernet connections I think you'll need a powered ethernet bridge.

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

It is really only a question of Speed. Either cable will work for this but if you have a Gigabit network you will want to use CAT6.

I am not sure if that is possible. I had a home invasion and purchased this for the 3 day period that it was going to take to install a real security camera system. It has a box that sets next to the TV and I belive it has RCA video out cables. If I have time sometime I will play with the unit; however, I so no instructions for allowing it to use a router

Yes can use the ethernet cable port to the blue ray player ethernet port (assuming it has one) to stream Netflix fast.
