Would this then also work to connect my bluray player to the internet so I can stream Netflix to my HDTV? The modem that came with my DSL connection also only has 1 ethernet port which of course I have my laptop plugged into...

"This thing" is essentially an expansion/junction box: a cable from one port -- such as that from your modem -- into this will result in an increase in the number of ports. If at present you can connect, as example, only one computer to your modem, you would be able to connect that computer plus additional computers (depending on the number of ports on the switch).

You plug the Ethernet cable into the 360 and run the 730 in client mode (there's a switch). In client mode it's basically a wifi adapter.

What does this product DO?It allows you to interconnect a bunch of network ports.Connect a bunch of Ethernet cards to one DSL modem?Yes multi PCs can share one connection, but only if the modem includes a router function.Two computers use the modem at the same time?Yes, but only if the modem includes a router function.Two computers transfer files etc with each other?Yes, but only if the modem includes a router function (or if you assign fixed IPs at each computer).

Hi there thanks for your question. It doesn't come with a standalone ethernet cable. I would reccomend this kit to help you establish your onboard network: NMEA Starter Kit Network starter kit. Includes 2 terminating resistors (TR-120M-RD, TR-120F-RD), two T-connectors (N2K-T-RD), one 2 ft extension cable (N2KEXT-2RD), and one 15 ft extension cable (N2KEXT-15RD), and a power node (N2K-PWR-RD). Thanks from Maple Leaf GPS

This cable only has wiring for a telephone connection. It is just like the old telephone cables except that it has an Ethernet plug on one end. It will not provide an Ethernet connection. As the first answer stated you need a DSL modem for DSL, and a DSL modem probably will not accept an Ethernet plug.

Wouldn't know? I sent the item back for a refund. Never used it. Second time I state this. The item description claims Ethernet jacks! but not true!

I just had this Modem hooked up. I have yet to get my Xbox live to work. It seems that when I try to get the DNS it always fails. Also my wife said her laptop was disconnected from the internet, when I tried to connect to Xbox live. I noticed that the Modem itself had to be reset.I was able to connect with my PS3 to the Playstation Network, but that was another story.

I am not sure I have mine hooked up to an net modem. You could always buy it if the connections are the same and if it does not work return it. Sorry!

It should work fine if your Xbox has a standard Ethernet port, and assuming your Internet modem does as well.

If you only need one Ethernet port, and most of us do, as we are not running servers, this will work and will give you "gigabit" Ethernet capability. I do not know if Windows will configure two ports to run at the same time without using a server OS.

They are identical. You Ethernet from your router to one, plug that one to any power outlet. Plug your second powerline anywhere you want to receive Ethernet thru any wall jack and connect the Ethernet cable from your second powerline to your device.

You can only plug-in 3 devices, one ethernet you use to connect to your internet. I used it to plug in my game systems. Three is actually not enough in my case.

The modem has one, almost all of the modems have (1) Ethernet port. You need to connect a router to add additional Ethernet ports in order to share the connection (or have WiFi).

Wish I could tell you. I purchased this item because my onboard ethernet wasn't working right (my Windows machine still kept trying to use the old port instead of the new one, so I had to jump through some hoops to get it to ignore the built-in one). It seems very likely running two ethernet ports is possible though; pro-level Macintoshes come standard with two, after all. This ethernet card worked great for me, by the way, although--unlike reports from others--I had to install drivers for it. Good luck!

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

That is why i purchased it, not sure if it was defective, it just worked on one computer and not the other, so i have to move ethernet line to other computer when needed. For the price it may be worth a try.

No, it has one coax connector. I had to use a splitter, one to go to my cable modem and one to go to the actiontec.
