So how do i use this device? Do i plug an ethernet cable from my router into the splitter, and then i can use other ethernet cables for other devices?

yes, put the router cable in and you can run 4 other devices. the more you use at one time, might, slow down streaming. i use one to go to my computer, and my wireless router that runs the others.

Greetings, This device is a basic soho ethernet switch, so assuming the router is configured to offer IP Addresses to other ethernet devices, then simple answer is yes. _In general_ you can plug your ethernet cable from your router in to the switch, and then plug in other ethernet devices. Non simple answer, your router is most likely setup to issue IP Addresses to the other devices via DHCP, so when you plug in the router first it will be listening for other devices which may requests an IP Addresse. So when you plug in the other ethernet devices they _most likely_ request an IP Address and the router issues an appropriate IP address (with DHCP) so all the equipment can operate to the internet through the router. There was a lot more I could have included, but that is the general model. I hope this information assists you.

yes that is exactly how it would work. Allows you can add additional devices
1710202
Yes that's exactly how it works it gives u more Ethernet ports when u have used all the ports on your router
1710203
yes it is a switch. You plug an Ethernet cable from a device that can provide dhcp addressing such a router or server, and this gives you multiple ports to plug in peripheral devices or computers.

If I understand the question, I'm afraid that this is not designed for the scenario you describe. You need a switch or hub. These splitters are intended to be used as pairs, one at either end of a cable run, and will allow the data from 2 Ethernet cables to travel across a single line to another 2 ethernet cables hooked up to this adapter on the other end.

This device should be connected to a modem first the same way you'd connect your router, for example. I'd suggest to use a coax splitter as well.Coax cable will go to the modem and to MoCA adapter and a LAN cable will connect your modem/Router and MoCA. Don't forget that you'll need at least two MoCA adapters to set up the network or you'll need a MoCA ready modem.

These aren't wireless units. Plug one into a 110 volt electrical wall outlet and connect an ethernet cable between it and your router. Plug other units into 110 volt electrical wall outlets, plug in ethernet cables and connect to devices such as PCs, printers, TV sets, etc. You can also connect ethernet switches to one unit and plug in multiple devices.

If I understand the question, plug the router in to your modem (internet) port then use the free ports (4) on the router to plug in your computer(s) and other devices.

Dear Customer,Thank you for your interest with Bluerigger cables!When one HDMI device is connected to the Internet, the Ethernet channel allows other devices to utilize it for their own network connections instead of wiring an Ethernet cable to each. All HDMI devices, cables and distribution equipment (such as an HDMI switch or splitter) that are attempting to use the HDMI Ethernet channel must support the feature.For more information about HDMI with Ethernet channel, please visit http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/hec.aspx":http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/hec.aspxKind Regards,Bluerigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com Dear Customer,Thank you for your interest with Bluerigger cables!When one HDMI device is connected to the Internet, the Ethernet channel allows other devices to utilize it for their own network connections instead of wiring an Ethernet cable to each.

I don't believe you can use splitters, but you can use a bridge at one end. My set up for internet: modem to ethernet cable to Dualcomm to coax to Dualcomm to ethernet cable to bridge, then two ethernet cables out from the bridge to two computers.

It is not possible. Why can't you run another ethernet cable from your router directly to the TV?
1090444
Yes. I did this downstairs with a second adapter to switch Ethernet to multiple devices. The first one upstairs gets Ethernet directly from my router.

I could not get internet to work through this splitter. If you plug this into the router, and then your devices into this, most likely neither will connect to the internet. I would contact the manufacturer with this question before purchasing.

Yes. You plug your main ethernet (coming from router/modem) into the device and then you can hook up up to 4 other devices. I have the main line coming into port 1 and then port 2 and 3 are outgoing to my computer and xbox and i have the option to plug in two more devices if i ever need to

This unit replaces the modem and router completely. I have it the cable attached to it, and see no reason why a splitter wouldn't work (except that you may lose some bandwidth). I would try it, based on if it were returnable.

You plug in the ethernet cable directly into the adapter. You need 2 PlugLink adapters inorder for it to work. One is for running the cable from your router and the other, you run a cable from your computer to the PlugLink adapter by your PC.

No,it will not split the Ethernet it will able you, to use one at a time TV or Blu Ray Player. It will switch from TV to Blu Ray Player.You will not be able to use TV and Player at the same time.

yeah i'm not understanding the question you are asking as well, seems like you want to plug in two different devices using ethernet??? if so i would use a switch like this: TRENDnet 5-Port Unmanaged 10/100 Mbps GREENnet Ethernet Desktop Plastic Housing Switch, TE100-S5 i'm really not sure what your asking about
1401201
I haven't tried this but I would be very surprised if it worked this way. I'd put serious money that, no, the ethernet will only work with the primary device. The other 3 USB ports are just a typical USB hub.
