Can the Netgear MoCA adapter drive (i.e. be up stream from) an 8 port ethernet switch?

Jerry,I remembered I did try with a simple D-Link 4 way router but failed. I was told by a friend that I need another type of router, an advance type. I think he is referring to static and dynamic routing protocol type of router. However, I did not make any attempt to confirm this.

Yes. In my system I have the MOCA device in the living room and have a 4 port switch connected to it to connect more devices. The cable modem is in a different room.

Hi Jerry,I'm not so sure about that. From my experience of using it, when I hook up to my PS3 set, I had to downgrade the Ethernet setting on the PS3 in order to be detect it on my network.That's all I can attest to. Not sure if it helps.

I have these in four rooms in my house, three out of four feed into switches. The biggest being an 8 port gigabit switch. I stream Blu Ray quality video throught my house and they work flawlessly.

No, unless you have (1) a router that can generate two free LAN lines that can be fed to the other end of the Ethernet jack, and (2) cable wiring that is CAT5 or newer (true for all new homes/installations). A cheaper solution might be to use a switch such as TRENDnet TE100-S5 5-Port Ethernet Switch (5 x 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX RJ-45 Ports) that costs only $11.99 and will give you 4 ports instead of two.

Nope unfortunately ethernet cable isnt up to spec to carry SDI signal. Wont work.

If you mean can you send the ethernet/network output into a switch - yes, definitely, I do this at home for a home office. The other output (the built-in split) is the cable and you'd send that to a TV or set top box, etc - that's not network, but RF.

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.

Dear David, thank you for your question. The ethernet port is a Gigabit port.

If by "ethernet in" you mean the WAN port that connects to the outside world, I am almost positive the answer is no. The Wide Area Network is the MOCA connection. I don't think it works as a hub between the ethernet ports.

you need one of this adapters on each side, and it works transforming Ethernet into coax and coax back to Ethernet, so yes if you have a adapter on each side, one on the router and the other on the switch you will be able to get DHCP on the devices.

For that application, the NETGEAR GS108NA ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch amazon number ASIN: B00006RVPW would be more likely to survive. Sidebar: When using the NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GS608NA) it is important to mount the unit horizontally not vertically (do not do wall-mount). B00006RVPW is good vertically or horizontally.

I would say yes. But have not tried that exact scenario. I have plugged it in a network Jack that was connected to a poe-switch and it work fine

I have the Netgear kit, it works great. I want to add more connections, but it is no longer for sale. Anyone know if Netgear's MoCA product would play nice with the MoCA adapters from ActionTech or DLink? Best if I don't have to start all over with new gear.

it should work, if you need more port then instead of 5 port use 8 port. I have it like this---comcast to my gateway to trendnet 8 port switch to access points, then some switches to AP.

Please look for an ethernet switch, 5 port switches run about what the prerequsite 2 of these cost, and they are better for what anyone needs this for. this is an artifact from when switches costs 3 times what they cost now.

Yes! The four (4) Wired Network Ports are Gigabit, and the Router/Switch port is also Gigabit.

I'm not sure. Interesting application, so the whole network could access the drive, but I think you'd have to reach out to the manufacturer for that one.

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.

This device would not work over a network switch. It transmits raw HDMI TMDS signalling information, not ethernet, so the switch can't understand it.
