To connect two laptops together with a regular Cat6 ethernet cable, will I just need one of these adapters or two?

This adapter allows two computers to be connected together with a Cat 6 cable, without a Ethernet Switch in the middle. Only one adapter is needed on one end of the Cat 6 cable. It does not matter which end of the cable the adapter is installed on.

Crossing a crossover cable will make a straight cable, aka patch cable. Similarly, if you use two crossover adapters, you will undo your crossover and have a straight through. Just use one on either end--it doesn't matter which end.

2 adapters and short Ethernet cables come in the package. One is used near the device to be added to your network and the other near your router to complete the link to the network.

I am using this product to connect my macbook pro (late 2012) to the typical connecting wire I use with my router ...I sorry I don't know what a cat6 is etc. but internet pix of cat6 look like my "typical connecting wire". thunderbolt to ethernet connector works fine for me and my macbook pro.

yeah i'm not understanding the question you are asking as well, seems like you want to plug in two different devices using ethernet??? if so i would use a switch like this: TRENDnet 5-Port Unmanaged 10/100 Mbps GREENnet Ethernet Desktop Plastic Housing Switch, TE100-S5 i'm really not sure what your asking about

Yes, you'll need two of them. If you have a coax network in your house (i.e. a bunch of splits and runs to other rooms), you just put one on your modem and one in each room you need one in.

An adapter is included for an Ethernet cable since the port on the laptop is a mini port.

Sorta. One adapter connects your modem/router to the A/C outlet. Then you plug in the second, third, fourth adapter where ever you need to in another A/C outlet. With two ethernet ports in each outlet, you can connect whatever devices you need. There is no need to "amplify" the signal, since the signal is traveling acrtoss your homes wiring, basically, a direct, ethernet connection.

Looks like this price is only for one device---and yes, you do need two of them. I think they work on any computer.... I went to eBay and got a set of two plug links at a great price. (sorry Amazon)

Just one, this basically plugs into one end (any end) of a standard straight-through Ethernet cable and turns it into a cross-over cable. No need for a cross-over cable ever again unless you need one permanently. The cost of these outweighs the cost of a standard cross-over cable but these are great to have in your fix-it IT kit. Hope this helps!

I have mine supplying an ethernet connection to a DirecTV box a computer and a Blue Ray player it works great. It should supply two devices with no problem.

Yes, you will need two of them. You are exactly right one for modem and the other wherever you want. I will say it is better than wireless but don't expect blazing speeds.

A Standard Ethernet cable will do nicely. A standard Ethernet cable has a total of 8 wires. Ethernet data uses 4 of these and PoE uses the other 4 wires.

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.

no, but you will be better off using just one. One connection fewer conflicts.

Any Cat6 connector should work fine. I happened to use Cable Matters 25-Pack Cat6 RJ45 Keystone Jack in Blue and Keystone Punch-Down Stand and they worked just fine.

Yes, any CAT5 cable should be compatible with that setup. CAT5, CAT5e and CAT6 are all basically the same thing, just added speed and functionality.

Think about it like this, it's like using an Ethernet cord, so two should work just fine. As long as your modem/router has the available Ethernet cord ports for 2. Which it should. The product works great, just be sure to plug it into the wall, the plugs don't really like my power strip, not sure why! So just make room for it, or be aware. could just be my power strip though.
