Can this product be used for this purpose: If I have cable tv in living room and want to wirelessly watch cable internet in another room with tv?

If the cable box has composite output ports(red white and yellow plug) and the TV has them that your hooking up to wirelessly then yes. However **I only did this with my DirecTV not cable box, and it worked fine except I couldn't change channels from the back room. Good luck.

I'm not certain what you mean by "watch cable internet in another room." This device uses radio frequency to send video and sound between a transmitter and receiver. If you have a TV in your living room and it has video and sound outputs via RCA jacks, whatever video and sound is being "displayed" on it can be transmitted wireless with this product to a TV in another room as long as that other TV has video and sound inputs via RCA jacks. Internet data access over cable is another protocol altogether. This product does not transmit IP (Internet Protocol).

yes you can but you can only watch what program is on the main tv. The main tv does not have to be turned on but your cable/satellite box must be on and of course the wireless system. you hook one end to the cable box and one receiver via ygr cable to tv in other room and viola, you have cable.

I have Directv in 1 bedroom with a box. I would like to be able to watch TV in bedroom 2 about 30 ft. away. I have a Directv connection in bedroom 2, I just don't want to pay for an additional box. The 2 TVs would never be used at the same time. Would I be able to use this product?

This is not a wireless device. Repeat, not wireless. Now if the apartment across the driveway gets its electricity from the house then yes, this device should meet your needs. This product uses your electrical wiring to communicate between the two ends. It is faster than wireless.

This is solely used to connect devices that only take Ethernet cables to a wireless network. So you would need a wireless network set up for this device to connect to.

This is only a cable modem and not a wireless router or access point.. You will need to purchase another device to accomplish that, or get an all in one cable modem/wifi router instead...

In the described situation this would not work as a wireless repeater because of the poor quality signal. If there was a wired connection in the room you could use this to convert that to a strong wireless signal. There aren't any products that will help you correct poor signal strength at a hotel. The only options that exist are connecting via a wired connection if offered by the hotel, relocating closer to their wireless access point or connecting via an air card or hotspot that uses a 3g or 4g cellular connection.

No, this is used to transmit a tv signal from one room to another tv in another room.

Im not sure if this would be best for that, I was tracking cable lines through my house. The best way to use this is if the attach the base to one end and then use the pen to trace the wire. It doesn't really tell you how good the connection is.

I don't know the answer to that . It is a two way system so I would think it would work. I liked and still do like how well it worked for normal cables with internet passing through it as well.

Sorry Pinebear. it sounds like it might be a good idea tho.. not sure.. we only use it for our house WiFi...that's not a great help but i didn't want to ignore the question...

Rhema; Yes, you can use this. What you will have is an ethernet connection. The speed of your internet will not keep this device from working.

It would connect your tv to wifi, though your tv might not have the software two interact with the network. Check and see if your tv software can be upgraded to surf the internet, if not your wasting your time and money.

Hello, that sounds like an interesting idea--however even if you shut off your home's cable router, there could be other broadcasting (non-locked down) wi-fi routers in the neighborhood that might not have a network password. So, not sure that application would be 100% sure-fire. Hope that helps.

If you are going to make it a wired connection, yes. But if your smart TV is going to be a WiFi connection, get something else. The WiFi on this router doesn't have good range, and drops out constantly.

Will it work to do what? This is not a hot spot...it's a device to turn a wired Ethernet port into wireless

Actually yes. If you read the small print in the listing itself, it says it is also used in cable TV systems in a passive mode. So if purchased it will work fine. Mine is used in a antenna TV setup and I am very pleased.

Wow, that's a great idea! If you connect it to the cable modem or to the router, it will kill the entire Internet link, along with anything else that uses the Internet (i.e. IP telephone service). In order to use this to control Wi-Fi only, you would need a separate device that does nothing but serve Wi-Fi. So it is certainly possible to do this.

Yes. I use it in a similar situation with my TiVo box and my Denon receiver. Instead of buying two separate wireless adapters for each unit, I have this behind my tv with 2 Ethernet wires: 1 to the TiVo and the other to the receiver. Has worked well over the last year or two for me.
