Question I have one ethernet wall port. Can I use this to connect a playstation and xbox via ethernet?

Yes, basically it simply spreads the internet signal over 4 or 5 additional ports that will allow you to connect more devices to the internet. You will need a cat 5 cable to connect the Xbox to the switch.

i don't see why that would not work. i have a dvd player and a roku 3 hooked to it and they work just fine.

Absolutely, the sole purpose of this device is to allow adding more ethernet ports for additional wired connections.

Hello Raymond,That's the exact application I needed in my living room. My Xbox, for some reason, wasn't picking up the WiFi signal from myrouter, so I just ran an Ethernet to it and it works great. Hope this helps.JIM

Yep! That's exactly what this thing is made to do. Just plug a cable from the wall into any of the ports on the back, then plug the two cables from the computer and Xbox into two ports on the back of the switch. Should work like a charm!

I'm pretty sure the Xbox One only has 1 optical port in the back of the Xbox. But I think you can daisy chain them. Plug the Optical cable from the "in" port of one transmitter into the "out" port of the 2nd transmitter. Then plug the Optical cable from the "in" port of the 2nd transmitter into the optical port of the Xbox One. You guys both should get surround sound with no problems. Have fun wreckin noobs.

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

Yes you can. I use it to wirelessly connect a tv/bd player but anything with an ethernet connection can be connected.

Unless you need more than 2 of the module's that plug into the wall then no. The kit comes with 2 modules that you plug into the wall. The first one by your router, then plug the included Ethernet cable in the unit and an open port on the back of the router. The other one goes where you need it, by your blue ray, your computer what ever. Plug the unit into the wall, the lights will tell you whether they can talk to each other, then plug your Ethernet cable into what you want to reach the internet. Very simple system, yet it works, Good luck

No. This is equivalent of wired Ethernet connection using wires in electrical wall plug. You need two powerline units to make Ethernet connection between the wall plugs. This has four Ethernet plugs so it can be as a hub.

No this won't work. You would need 2 of these to go to a router/switch if you wanted to share a single Ethernet line.

Well I guess it depends on your internet provider, but I was in an apartment with one jack for an ethernet cable in the wall and plugged this product in. I plugged one ethernet cable from the wall to the device and then three ethernet cables coming out to my desktop, xbox, and sometimes even an extra xbox and never had any problems with connection. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. Helped me out for sure.

No. This is meant to go from ps2 to GCN or xbox. The ps2 port is female and I doubt it would work the other way around. Btw, my unit just plain didn't work. Look elsewhere.

Yes there is. I personally have not used this ethernet port but there definitely is one a second ethernet port for the purpose you are enquiring about. Hope this helps.

I'm just going to answer myself.I bought 5 port one and it works just play and plug.I first connect cable modem to router wan port.Then from one of the router port, I connect to switch.This connection between router and switch makes whole switch to share internet, I guess. then I connect my PS3 and Xbox to the switch and all works great!those of who are hesitate to buy switch for sharing internet connection do it! if you have router already!

Its used to connect internet just using the HDMI cable intead of using an ethernet cable. I have not had any use for this but I believe there would be some devices that have ethernet system wired to the HDMI port. I have not seen such devices yet, but this is a good idea to have eveything going on only one cable,

NO. I bought a USB Linksys DUAL BAND AE2500 Then it kept 'cutting out' SO I hooked up to the EtherNet port in the back. Works better (faster, Obviously).

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.

Sure, I don't see why not. For all intents and purposes it's just two more network ports. I'm using mine in an ESXI box.
