Can you use these over routers? Will they just automatically each other over my network?

Yep, I'm using this to run phone and network through one switch port to an office with only one wall jack. Works like a champ.

Yes. Just use the appropriate Ethernet cable or Cat5 cable terminated with RJ45 ends between the two mux connector. Once it is connected, it looks like a standard Ethernet link to the devices on each end. You also get the benefit of standard RJ11 in and out at each end. So, if you want a standard phone line also, just plug that into each end and it is carried over the Ethernet / Cat5 cable also. I use this device to link internet and telephone to my free standing garage from our cabin. We only had to pull one Cat5 line and the result is everything is available.

I used these adapters to extend my RJ11 DSL connection located in one room over an existing ethernet cable to my router in another room approx 50 ft. away; it worked beautifully. If this is what you are trying to do, I recommend these adapters.

I bought two of them to set up a wireless bridge from my house to a wireless web cam and they work excellent.I am not sure what you are using them for, when you mention switches. All I can tell you is that I needed to buy 2 of them to send the signal from 1 of them which is used as an aceess point to receive the signal from the router in my house and then sends the signal to the other unit which is connected to the web cam across the street.The second unit receives the wireless signal and feeds it to the web cam. I am very satisfied with the units and reccomend them to anyone that needs to set up a wireless bridge.

you can but you do need a small router. the splitter cables plugs into the router and the router output connects to the network. that's my setup and it has been working fine for months.( $10 -$15 bucks router}

Yes, as long as you have one connected to the router, you can use several throughout the house. I do not know if there is a practical limit. All of them are the same, including the one attached to the router. I am using 5 and they work very well.

You can use them on different networks. They can also be used with a wired connection.

I was able to get two working at once. Have not triedto get 3 acessing my router at once, but understand it can be done.

Yes.....I already did it. It is just the way I'm using it. I configured it to repeat the signal of another router, via LAN cable, and it was the only way to have signal in the other side of my house. The I did the same thing with a $15 NEXXT router and I think it results with better signal. The main router is a Linksys-G 2.4 GHz.....this is the best of all. Thanks for your att.

It can be done, but the best results would be if the main router is in the middle of the house and you use an extender halfway towards each end of the house from the middle. That way, the extenders wouldn't likely be picking up on the other extender's signal, but instead extending the original router signal.

It can work either way. If you have a Master controller, then you set these up as secondaries, and can clone all devices and control from either. Or, if you have no Master, then you just add the devices directly to THIS device's own network as Master.

We are a CL reseller and use them all the time. We use them mostly in Bridge mode and PPPOE, but there's no reason that it shouldn't work with DHCP. They are solid units.

I've never used it that way, but I believe it will not work. That RJ-45 is intended as a physical LAN interface and it will not accept a default route via another router accessible through it.

I have not tried this configuration, but, this product acts like an ethernet cable using your home power. As long as the units identify themselves to each other, I think it might work.

I use it in conjunction with a 1st router. So if this is what you mean, the answer is yes.

I have had many routers, and used even more ... off the top of my head I cannot think of any one of them that was not configurable over the network, and worked for PC/Mac/Linux or anything else. I don't rule it out, but I have never personally seen something that did not work with anything ... that is, if it worked at all.

I set two of these up as repeaters to extend the WiFi signal in our home. I used a Macbook Pro to configure them and then later, to access the network through them. I had no problems.

Yes I believe the best way is to simply select bridge mode under dhcp server settings this allows the router to automatically set various other things as to be sure no conflicts and allows use of all four wired connects instead of just 3. Also has a repeater mode.

The LAN would have to physically be the same LAN with both routers on the same physical LAN. There is a limitation as to the distance the wires can travel without repeaters. I'm not sure what you are really trying to do, perhaps more details would help. I think what you are trying to do is VPN into the same LAN from two separate locations - if that's the case you only need one VPN into your LAN, not two.
