Split Ethernet Cable? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I have an Orange Devolo homeplug for my Kryptview and I was wondering if I can use the same homeplug for internet on my TV by splitting it using this (ethernet RJ45 3 Way Network Cable Splitter)?

Keep in my mind you can't split an IP.

I don't want to use wireless for my TV, so will that above work or will I have to buy another pair of homeplugs? Can I get just one adapter (slave) as I already have a master - if so where can I get it from?

Thank You.

I can't see how that would work.

This TP-Link 10/100 5 Port Desktop Switch - Aria Technology will work fine though

Please don't start duplicate threads, ask the question once. Thanks

Could be wrong.. but am sure if you reserve the IP addresses then it should work.

Then again I could be wrong but no harm in buying it and testing it.

I forgot to delete the other as it was in the wrong section.

I don't understand how this would work, what would I need to do?

Thank You.

Edit: How will this work with my Orange Devolo homeplug? Thanks.

Pretty sure it won't work.

You would have two devices sending data up the same pair, in a completely uncontrolled manner.

Use the switch, it will work.

How would it work with my Orange Devolo homeplug, how would I connect it? Thanks

Cable from homeplug to switch, then cable from each device to switch

Didn't realise it was that simple.

Edit: One more thing - is it compatible with my homeplug, Orange Devolo?
