its an A-B switch. You can connect 2 devices but only one would work at a time.

Yes, but it's either/or. Only one connection works at a time (A or B), not a splitter but a switcher.

NO You can SWITCH your ethernet connection between the Mac and the Samsung but you cannot use this switch as a splitter to use both of them at the same time

No, this device is for multiple tvs. What you need is a HDMI switch, not splitter.

No, I don't think you can just split the ethernet port like that. That too is what I wanted to do to be able to login to work on my laptop and still have access to my home computer as well. Essentially what you have there allows you to share the same ethernet wire. SO to use two computers like you wish they ethernet cable must be split at both ends (e.g. the end that connects to the two computers and then again at the end that connects to the ethernet switch or router). You will still each be using a separate port on the router.

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.

I have split the Internet between 2 decices & it worked OK, l used RJ45 CAt 5 6 Lan Ethernet, l was told by a computor guruthat lt would not work & l ptoved him wrong. My Internet speed is 120 megabites Sean

No, it won't. It is an alternative to WIFI or Ethernet.Instead of connecting an ethernet wire between two spots, this permits you to use a coaxial cable.

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

No.If you had two separate Ethernet cables and wanted to use each of them with the same device, but not at the same time, then this would help you.

Yes, this coupler will connect the ends of two standard ethernet cables. However, unlike Mary M.'s response, the one coupler I purchased from this seller was perfect. The cable ends snapped into the connector tightly, absolutely no sideways or in/out wiggle. So I've had no issues due to a lost connection.

Sorry I can't help. This device did not meet my need. I can't remember now what I wanted it to do. I am doubtful that it would do much ethernet connecting. But please don't take that as fact

Yes. These will make your existing CAT5 connection between 2 rooms serve one Ethernet connection (RJ45, 2p) and two phone connections (RJ11, 1p each).

I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't say this is a splitter... I use it to connect my cable box and my computer into one screen. Beware tho, that the automatic switch function doesn't really work very well. It'll switch from my TV to computer just fine, but never the other way around. If you don't mind having to push the little button on the device each time to switch devices, then this works fine. Hope I could help!

Yes - but not if you only use the splitter on the jack end near your workstation & AppleTV device. You MUST use the other splitter (comes in the set) on the opposite end of the cable that feeds the wall jack in question to patch that one jack to TWO open ports on your router/switch. This is NOT a splitter in the traditional sense you might be used to with a cable-tv (F-type coaxial) splitter where you can just magically make 1 outlet feed 2 devices. It it really a combiner-splitter where it sends two feeds over a single cable and then splits them back out on the other end. Please be sure that you have 2 open ports on your network router/switch equipment to feed these 2 devices BEFORE you order this. If you do - and you install it correctly - everything will work beautifully.

I haven't tried this but I would be very surprised if it worked this way. I'd put serious money that, no, the ethernet will only work with the primary device. The other 3 USB ports are just a typical USB hub.

it should, the splitter will only read 1 connection at a time. use an ab switch.

Yes. This splitter allows one Cat5 cable to be used as if it were two. Keep in mind, when you split the cable, you will only be able to connect devices at 100Mbps. You will not get 1Gbps anymore.

No it cannot run two devices at the same time . When you plug in a 2nd device it will shut down ethernet to both devices .
