Is this a good choice for a Roku 3.I will need to tun 40 feet of cat 6

No. The Roku will work hardwired to the router, but the current speed of it is not ideal for gaming purposes.

My unit works quite well with a 20 ft. long run of Cat 6 from the router.Haven't tried anything longer than that.

According to Google an MHL extention cable does exist. I'm not sure why you might need one however. Doesn't your MHL enabled port point downward so the Roku would extend downward instead of straight out the back.

Being compatible and being fully compliant are not the same thing. Any HDMI cable should work, but if you have the Roku 3, then you notice that you get a non-HDCP compliance error sometimes. That's because the cables are not fully compliant. This cable description says that it is, which is why I'm upgrading to these.

No, it will not. Don't waste your money. I couldn't get it to carry over cat 6 for 130 feet. Not even 720. Go to monoprice and get the dual wire wall balins

Not sure, However, the comment of Franklin Edwin Lyons posted on January 14, 2014 seems very helpful. Attached herein is the company web address, maybe you can fine the answer there; I needed to connect my new Roku 3 to my 40" Samsung TV, it replaced the old cord beautifully, I am very happy with my purchase, however, I am no electronic wiz, I just know what works and when it works I keep it...and when it doesn't...I get rid of it. Sorry I couldn't have been more help.

I would not know. I returned this sad little box of unbelievable technical folly less than a week after I bought it. The UI is confusing and poorly laid out, the antenna is so weak that the unit cannot be more than 3 feet from your wireless transmitter, and if you call in for "support", you get none whatsoever. I was told basically "it is what it is" and then hung up on. I cannot advise against purchasing one of these things more strongly. Buy a Roku 3 instead. That is a fabulous product, which is well designed, easy to use, and hasn't had nary a hiccup since we bought it.

I had a Roku and it was wireless. I sold it and wanted to buy a wired Roku I found out the wired Roku is still wireless. So I bought a Samsung DVD BD-F5100 that does more than the Roku all hard wired so I needed the extra ports the TP-Link worked great.

You're very welcome. I know your going to enjoy roku as much as we do. If I can be of any help at all please let me know.

It would be pretty really tight. i wouldn't reccomend it. You should probably use an hdmi over cat5/6 extender if you wanted to go through conduit.

We haven't actually be able to use it, as shortly after buying it, we bought a smart TV with 4 HDMI switches, enough for all we needed, since it eliminated the need to the Roku to be hooked up anymore. Sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm pretty certain my husband has the antenna hooked to something different, not HDMI.

Yes. Roku 3 is faster and more powerful. With up to 1080p HD video* and extended-range, dual-band wireless performance for increased speed, etc.

Cat 6 cable will work fine. Not 100 percent sure on the maximum for this system but i think i read up to 190 ft on the PoE.

I live in an 1800 square foot 3-bedroom ranch. My wireless router sits at one far corner of the house and my ROKU device sits at the opposite end of the house. I placed the Cisco repeater about midway in the house, near the ceiling. My ROKU went from a weak signal to "Good". I've had no problems with signal strength anywhere within the house. One warning. This device is a bear to configure. I have to use an old Windows XP pc to configure it. The included disc won't work on a Windows 8 pc. As long as I don't change my home network password, all is well. After a power outage or shutdown, I always reboot in this order; my modem router, then the repeater, and then any devices I want to use. I'm glad I bought it.

Roku 3 have: higher price tag, faster processor speed, USB port, only hd (hdmi only), ethernet port, ... But the same content.Roku 2 works fine only WiFi, no USB, rca sd output, both have headphone Jack in the remote control, for wireless listening. This us a conflict solver at bedroom ;-)

Based on reviews and web research I found that is best to have a power unit if these conditions are true for your application: Distance from device to TV is grater than 5 feet, great for watching 3D and high definition content. You want to have a powered unit to ensure you have the best transmission possible specially when dealing with such high definition systems. NOTE: In everything I read it is VERY important to make sure the two CAT 6 cables are exactly the same length and that the cables are not damage in any form such like cuts and bends.I hope this helps.
