It has two ethernet ports and I am trying to connect it to two different networks but it only seems to be working for 1?

I'm pretty sure that it shouldn't be able to function simultaneously on two seperate networks. I believe the two ports are for redundancy. But if it IS possible, then the networks would have to share IP space because you can only assign the terastation one single IP address

My understanding was both adapters were meant to run on one network for device/adapter redundancy, not network redundancy.

You need to look at your network topology, not the EX4. There are a lot of different ways to get this thing visible on two networks, but be thankful that this thing doesn't act as a switch or hub, because connecting your two networks (physical or virtual) together, just plugging them into each other anyway, is more than probably going to create DHCP and DNS resolution hell.

It does have 2 Ethernet ports and both should be functional. Yours could have a faulty port. Have you tried connecting to your network with each port individually to confirm both ports are working? You may have a problem if you are trying to put different subnet masks in the two adapters. To do this in a computer you need to create trace routs for the adapters, and I don't think this NAS has that ability.

The owners that state the purpose of the additional port is for load balancing and fail-over are correct. Connecting the ports to separate networks is not a function of the product.

The manual says no. You can set it to use both on the same network for faster throughput. I have not tried, but that is what the manual says.

I'm sorry, but I dont use the ethernet; I use it wireless. I hope you find the answer your looking for. Regards.

I use one of them as input and another one as output for an in-house ethernet connection.

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.

Usually a modem only has one port (in fact I don't know of any variance on that except for combination router/models) and that is where your router goes, everything else goes into the router.

This device isn't a splitter so you cannot use it that way. It is required to have one on each end of the ethernet run. To split an ethernet signal you would need a switch.

Pretty simple And it has 4 Ethernet ports on the back it doesn't say in or out.i only use it wireless Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

There is an Ethernet connection socket on the back. It isn't wireless (it's a desktop unit). Having said that, I bought/installed a USB wireless network adapter on the 2 units bought due to difficulties in running cable.

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

I was able to get two working at once. Have not triedto get 3 acessing my router at once, but understand it can be done.

three possibilities1. you are on a neteork that is not dhcp enable2. your network or device does not support a splitter3. you are using a defective or the wrong cable type

NO. I also thought I would be able to hook up two computers. Even tried using two plugs. You have to get a terminal-one of those little boxes that usually has jack inputs for 4 ethernet lines. Amazon has them for fairly cheap.

This is designed to connect to an existing WIFI network. It will not work if connected to the network via an Ethernet cable.

Required a 2nd Ethernet port on your Router to connect the power line adapter. Unless you have your router connect to the Powerline and get your desktop to be wireless or with another set of power line adapter.

I really don't know.I bought one to be capable of using 2 computers at the same time when it was necessary. Once both ethernet cables were connected to this thing-I could not even access the internet with one computer. I had to unplug the ethernet cable from the second computer to get online. I had hoped this unit would work-but it didn't. I did get a full refund from the seller,and Amazon refunded the $6.00 it cost me to return it-so I would say you can take a gamble on it-if it doesn't work for you at least you won't be out of any money.

This is a bridge. You would be able to connect multiple Ethernet devices to this bridge if you wanted. You're still using your WiFi. If you have a buffer problem this unit, or any other you purchase would not likely remedy that problem.

I don't know the answer to the 1st question. 2nd question, it will connect only one at a time.
