Internet Access/Adapters: Can only one of these be used or do you need two adapters for internet to work?

Dear Lucas, You'll need at least two units to establish a network. One unit will go on the modem/router side the other unit at your PS3 or XBox. you can look into buying the PLA401v3kit it's a starter kit that comes with 2 units in the box.

only one port on the router. The plug in adapters are large. The can share with a standard sized plug but will not share space with another "space hog".

You can add additional adapters one at a time, but most companies would rather sell two and not have to explain why you have to use two units! It is nice to have a spare in case you want to connect another device such as a media player or an internet enabled TV. I would stick with the same brand and model just to make the sync easier. If you add an adapter using a different standard (such as 1.0 for 56MBPS or the newer 500MBPS ) or a different encryption (56 vs. 128 bit) you may have problems.

Yes, All in one, works Greats too, just be sure to call your internet provider(tech support) to make sure it's compatible with them.

Yes. But again you need a minimum of two. One hooked up to your router and another wherever you want to use it. Also make sure you don't plug the product to a power surge protector.

Thanks, Bernie. I did buy the adapter and it worked fine while I was here. Of course, when I was out there in Tokyo, the hotel room's Ethernet cable wasn't working so I still had to use the 2nd floor Guest Lounge Wifi, LOL! >_<

Hello from Medialink, Yes, provided the first Homeplug is connected to a device with a DHCP server (such as a Gateway, router, or managed switch). If you are connecting the first Homeplug to a basic modem only, you will only get one device on the internet at a time. Otherwise, yes, it will work fine.

Yes. I have one adapter connected to the modem. The other on my Roku. Bought 2 more and use with laptops throughout the house between 2 floors. You can find more info here...http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22165/related/1

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.

Yes you do need two. I would however recommend you find a different soultion, like a wireless to ethernet bridge. These XE102 etc are unreliable. Mine are in a garbage box somewhere...

Yes, it has for me. I place one adapter next to the router and then another adapter at several different locations. It seems to work every time. Hope you have the same results. Ken Hockin, Alvin, Texas

To my knowledge, no. I use the AC Ethernet adapters for wired connection which work great; I use a cheap switch to get multiple connections from one adapter. For instance, I use the AC Ethernet adapter and switch for to hard wire connect my TV, DVD (or Roku) and PC to the Internet. In another room, I use another Ethernet connected to my HT-WR02 to extend a strong wireless signal in the room and elsewhere around the house. Not sure if all of this information is helpful.

I have ONE... but I believe two would work... upon startup each end 'scans' for the other end; I would think that if you 'brought up' one link and then the other they would form two non-interfering links. Also be aware that the range of these devices is low... a wall or even serious furniture can impede the signal completely, so it might be possible to just 'aim you way' to mutual non-interference. Hope this helps. BTW: I love mine... it make a super clear and high fidelity connection far better than the WiFi links I tried before buying this.

If you mean Truly separate clients, then no, I doubt it since there is only one access list. You can however make a mock-up of that type of setup by making to separate logins between the 2, and limiting the access on the client side. I'm not sure why you'd want to though, since they will connect to the same network on the router. If I am understanding your question correctly. What the others are describing is a network, and an access point type of setup. NOT 2 distinctly separate networks. Just 2 different connection types that give you some combination of internet, and network access that you can custom filter to some extent.

it depends on whether the device you're plugging in has a built in bridge or not. For example: some cable boxes have and computers these built in and you can just plug them into the wall and they'll automatically detect the internet if it's there, so you would only need 1 of these.

If you only need to hook up one PC, go ahead and plug it right into the modem - this will work great. Just make sure your PC's firewall is enabled! Your PC is receiving direct, unfiltered Internet when hooked up like this.

You just have to connect adapter to your network and the other adapter to the device you want to have an internet connection. No other setup is required.
