I have a Netgear Wireless router in my office room and need to hook up my Internet TV via a ethernet cable. Would this single adapter work?

You need to have at least two powerline adapters. If you have a router, one would be connected to the router, then you'd also need one for each device that you'd want to connect to the network.

You will need one that is the transmitter and one for the receiving end. I have mine hooked up this way on opposite sides of the house and it works well.

It will work only if another compatible PLC adaptor is connected to your router & PL outlet via a cat5/6 cable.

This is the one I am currently using: Netgear WNCE2001 Universal WiFi Internet Adapter. It works great. You will need to hook it up to a computer and enter your network settings. It takes you to a "webpage" to configure it as soon as you plug it in as it is plug'nplay. Once the settings are entered you can use on any device with an ethernet or usb connection. I use it on my Panasonic Blu-ray player (ethernet), TV (w/ ethernet), XBox360 and various computers when needed. It works great!! No Wires!!

I think you would be served getting a Wi-Fi ethernet adapter, like from Netgear.

The statement from blank is not true. Any 802.11 router (b,g, or n) will work just fine. Since most every home and business router fall into this category, it should be as easy connecting your TV as your laptop.

It's two adapters that have Ethernet ports. You plug one near your router and then using a cable connect it. You plug the second near where ever you want and plug it in. It should be that simple. If your router only has 1 port, you will need a small switch.

No, it's just a crossover adapter. Turns a regular ethernet cable into a crossover cable with this plugged into one end.

Yes. I am using it for TV box but the same idea applies. It bridges using a wireless connection so any device near it can use a wire ethernet connection. You set it up, plug it in. Setup is very easy and simple. Anyone can do it. Just follow the instructions and find out what your home network address space is. (i.e. 192.168.x.2, network mask is 255.255.255.0) name your bridge 192.168.x.2. You should reserve the address space of 192.168.x.1-10 for your routers.

I'm not an authority on the kind of router you have...but..it would seem to me that you would be better off using a wireless adapter that also has an ethernet plug. That way, you can reach your computer with the wireless antenna without having to use an ethernet connection, but you can also use the ethernet connection to plug a cable into your TV.

Need to elaborate a little bit. I can only assume that you have Ethernet cable, usually call Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable. If yes, you shouldn't have any problems connecting this and make it as a bridge wifi router, I assumed? if not, this device won't do any good for your need until you rewired with the right type of cable + connector.

Sorry I am not sure. The adaptor is only connected to my wireless router via an Ethernet cable. The router is in turn connected to the modem via a cable. I guess if the router can be connected to the modem via WAN connection, the adaptor should work.

Here's what I found which says you can use your Netgear wireless adapter, but I haven't tried that. I found a wired connection to be more effective in my house.http://forums.tivo.com/pe/action/forums/displaypost?postID=10471357John

You should not have a problem. In theory, adapters should be able to connect to any wireless network with a compatible signal (of course that's not always the case in reality). That being said, I've tested this adapter on several different networks, and I've never run into problems regardless of router. However, I have heard that some people can't pick up the 5.0ghz signal from other types of routers (non-Cisco/Linksys), but I don't have evidence supporting that claim other than a couple isolated instances. Good luck!

I am not sure. I know it works connecting my router to my net gear Neo Tv streamer player.

J-Dee,Chris Geiser, Product Line Manager for NETGEAR here. These devices will work to solve you're problem. Just think of the adapters like a long Ethernet cable. You'll connect Switch #2 to the adapter in Room B and connect the adapter in Room A directly to the router.

Any "access point" device will work, as B. Bailey suggested one, so will I: Buffalo Technology Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band Ethernet Converter WLI-TX4-AG300N These devices simply grab the wifi signal like any other wifi device but then they connect your devices through an ethernet connection, which fools these devices into thinking that they're on a (more-reliable, stable) wired connection to the internet. They're no more difficult to setup than your internet router. Many of these exist, I had done my research a year ago and found that most of these only have a single ethernet port--so only one device can be hooked up at a time to grant internet access--but this one most benefited my living room since I have my tv, blu-ray player, and my Xbox 360 which all need internet connections. And this is pretty much the same price or cheaper than some other models. As I said, I've had mine for a year (replacing a 50ft long ethernet cable running through my apartment) and I love it. Once in a whlie the signal drops (like any other wifi device) but it's great and I couldn't be happier with this alternative and it's "multi-use".

I wouldn't see why it wouldn't work, if the tv supports an Ethernet port, it will work

Yes, it should work because the ethernet port is between the hdmi cord and the power supply cord.
