what is the purpose of the second Ethernet LAN port?

I don't think the other answer about daisy chaining is correct although I have not explored every option in the drop down. The real answer is redundancy and binding. Its default setting is to provide fail-over in case the first port fails. Its secondary purpose is enhanced capacity/bandwidth by enabling with a link aggregation capable switch to provide capacity for extra concurrent connections.

The same as for any other Ethernet device: ability to connect more devices for a daisy chain.

Hi Jeff. Ethernet switches are basically used to provide extra ports in an existing network setup; or it can also be used to link ethernet cables or two or more networks.

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.

A 2nd Ethernet is possible in the following ways: 1. Order from CompuLab fit-MultiLAN (fit-PC3 with FM1LAN FACE Module) 2. fit-PC3i is similar to fit-PC3, but with 2 Ethernet ports 3. The new fit-PC4 has 2 Ethernet ports Both fit-PC3i and fit-PC4 should be available from Amazon in the near future. Best regards, Irad Stavi CompuLab

Just plug your LAN connection into any of the ports. It makes no difference where any of the connections go. The switch will automatically sense the connections.

Level 3 Netgear support team (engineer) told me that I cannot use the 2 ethernet ports at the same time !!!

As far as I know, if you are running two separate LAN cards on the same computer, they will only work if you have two different IP Addresses. So I don't think that will enable you to do what you are wanting to do.

Yes there is. I personally have not used this ethernet port but there definitely is one a second ethernet port for the purpose you are enquiring about. Hope this helps.

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!

yes, there is one ethernet port on the device for putting it on your network. the wifi access point needs to be connected to some other switch or router that's already on the network.

It is not possible. Why can't you run another ethernet cable from your router directly to the TV?

The purpose of the network port (TCP/IP-Ethernet) is to provide a system management, update functionality that is normally present on network streaming or Smart featured devices. It may be ON/ or optionally may not be used. HDCP/HDMI content sometimes uses Ethernet functionality via the HDMI cable directly, but does not require the Ethernet port to function. So it is provided as a convenience. Streaming devices such as Roku's and the like may access via wireless, Ethernet or USB to provide the same functionality. All may introduce security issues when not properly configured.

The ethernet port has a little door on it. just lift it up and you're good.

It is 5 Ethernet port total, but subtract one port for input and the remaining 4 ports for outputs. I hope that answers your question.

Look at the image, or look at the item in a store.The Ethernet port for LAN connectivity is clearly visible on the HP Mini 110

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.

I'm not an IT expert, but I believe this acts just as an access point for extending an existing ethernet network using in-home coax.
