I have one ethernet port in a hotel room. The wifi is horrible, so prefer ethernet. Can I use a switch to connect computer, roku plus Apple TV?

Yes, as long as one of the ethernet ports coming into the switch is coming from the internet sourse, you wil be able to connect 3 more devices to the switch and have connectivity

Yes, either a switch or hub will enable you to connect multiple devices. If it is a secured connection each device will need to pass the appropriate credentials (name/password).

You need to buy a powered switch that has 2 inputs and 1 output. Cable and roku go to input, and output goes to Tv

I don't have a mac, I can't help you, also I replace it with Trendnet 100 (Fast Ethernet switch)

yes it is a switch. You plug an Ethernet cable from a device that can provide dhcp addressing such a router or server, and this gives you multiple ports to plug in peripheral devices or computers.

If that is the new gen Mac then I would say no. the WiFi is nuch faster. You dont need the Ethernet cable.

You shouldn't need that...here is how I have mine connected. - I have a Comcast cable modem. - I connect my Airport wireless router directly to the cable modem. - I do have hard wired ethernet to connect this switch to my Airport Express (I have cabling running between my office and living room). - I then have the switch tucked behind my TV (connected via Ethernet). - Then, all of my devices are plugged directly into this switch - TV, Denon A/V home theater, Xbox, Tivo. I believe your Roku should be connected directly to your TV via HDMI or composite/audio cable combination. Hope that helps!

100' cat 5e ethernet does a fine job streaming from router to Samsung TV. No reason to believe Apple TV would be any different if it calls for ethernet,

Yes, you can hook up a WIRED Roku through this router. But is has to be a wired Ethernet Roku. Not the wireless only Roku, because this is a Cable/DSL router, not a wireless router.

Yes. Connect the modem to the WAN port on the router, and connect the computer and roku to the LAN ports on the router.

You can connect it to any port on the switch. Most modern switches use N-Way ports so you can connect it to any port without a crossover cable.

if you have a mac, it will work as an extender or hook up to receiver. I have an ethernet switch connected, to which 3 devices are connected to , and receiver. All work great. Plus another one in my bedroom to old pc running xp.

There is an ethernet port on the back that connects to the router. That should work. Personally, I already have a Roku box so I just needed it for Blu-ray. I am very pleased with the unit.

No , you need to run a sepret Ethernet cord . One of the best cords is a cat 6

If you use a Crossover, then you'll need a crossover on the other end as well. it runs over cat6 but is not being transferred as Ethernet. On each end the pin order must match.

There are different models of the Roku. If you have one with the RCA cable (one end is a single input into the Roku, the other end has the 3 traditional red, yellow, and white composite connectors which plug into the TV. This is the end that would plug into one of the AV switch inputs. If your Roku has a different type connector for the TV it will not work with this switcher unless you have a converter of some sort.

With a Mac you can hook 1 EyeTV box to the USB port & 1 HDHomeRun box to the ethernet port. That gives me 3 tuners.

Ethernet cable in, Ethernet cables out. It's just a switch that switches from one unit to the other. If they're connected by Ethernet cables it should work. I use it to disconnect my computer from the Internet, it works great for that.
