Using multiple devices: Would this switch do that for me?

yes thats exactly what this is made for, multiple components all into the box and two outputs to go to the tv. you use the buttons on the front to switch from device to device

Yes, you can switch between current devices that are turned on and change preferred device. So lets say you have a game console which only comes on when you're using it, you can,set that as preferred so when you turn it on it overrides the other devices and the input switches to the game when its turned on, when it goes off it will automatically revert back to the device you were last using. It has a button on the front of the device OR you can use the remote to scroll through all devices that are currently on and plugged up to it. Its super simple, not as complex as I am making it oit to be, but by far one of the best things I've ever purchased, for the price its an EXTREMELY good buy.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. Many devices plugged into the switch, switch plugged into the MoCA adapter. On the other end is another MoCA adapter plugged into the router.

Yes - this works well - the camera will sync at 100 mb to the switch - no switch config is required. Thanks

Afraid not. The switching happens on the 2 side. So 4 peripherals across 2 comps (or DVRs in your case). The button just toggles back and forth between the 2 connections. I use it to share mouse/keyboard across 2 comps.

I believe that if you set the switches on all devices to the same combination, they should.

I actually did this and it does work. You have to make sure that you get two units that have the same frequency. HOWEVER, you cannot use one switch to control two boxes (my original plan) -- it will alternate them on and off.

the switch will give a dedicated one gigabit to each device plugged into it. As for your internet speed it will give whatever it can give to the devices.

I don't think it would work that way. I use it to switch a hub of USB peripherals between two computers. So basically 1 & 2 go to the computers and the "out" goes to a USB hub with all of my devices. The reason why I doubt if it would work the other way is it is USB-powered, and draws it's power from one of my USB3.0 computers, not from the hub side of the switch.

This is a splitter, not a switch. For two computers to a single monitor, you need a switch.

I would think so. There is a syncing process that you must do to link the devices. I imagine if you do not go through the process of syncing them then each device operates individually.

It is unlikely. Typically it's one source to the outputs...in this case, you can switch that source between 2 devices.

I believe you can if you install an identical SwitchLinc in the other location as well. I've thought about doing this, but I'm afraid the 3 way wiring is a little advanced for me. Not to mention that you need to use twice the number of SwitchLincs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twEvh3Vua8U

No Unfortunately this will not work for that, it only allows one single active source at a time, which ever the most recent device active will send to the tv. If you are watching cable then turn your Blu ray on, the Blu ray will appear on your screen without you doing anything. Not sure I have heard of a switcher that will do what you are asking, but sounds like a great idea. Just an FYI I like this unit but it is my second one the first one got hot and stopped working.

Sorry. Cannot help with this answer. Never tried using multiple devices at the same time.

Even if it worked.... I would still recommend feeding the two devices into a receiver and letting it act as the switch between the two devices. That would make this product unnecessary, though. Just my opinion.

Yes you can. With the Wemo App in Android or Apple iOS. I have my switches set for various times during the week to turn on and off.
