two workstations: may i , using 3 homeplugs , run 2 Roku's in seperate rooms?

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.

If the televisions aren't too far apart you can split the signal coming out of the Roku and run it to two televisions but they would be showing the same thing. I have a friend that has an older model that has both HDMI and analog outputs, both of which are apparently hot. He has the HDMI output going to the television in the living room and ran a long analog cable to a television in the kitchen. If you are using a newer Roku with HDMI output only you could try an HDMI splitter but I'm not sure how well those work. I'm don't know how you could do it without running a physical cable to both televisions.

You would have to use a simple splitter. Only one of the two outlets is controlable.

It has an Ethernet port, so I guess you could. I don't know what kind of speed you would get splitting it between several devices. I bought this to use with my TiVo instead of buying the TiVo wireless adapter. TiVo says you cannot do room-to-room transfer over a wireless connection, but with this, the TiVo thinks it is hard wired.

I don't have that setup but I imagine it would work. If you connect it to your router in one room and then the 2nd unit in another room, you get an ethernet jack which is now direct to your router connected via your home wiring. The question would be how you would connect or split the cable ethernet to existing sevice and to where you want to add service. I hope this helps.

Yes you can. That is exactly what I needed to do. I went from the modem to the switch. And then from the switch to two different routers.

From what I saw on another page, from TP Link: Though the speed of the Ethernet port is limited to 100mbps, the data transmission and receiveing between the devices will be approximitaley 500mbps, given the integrity of the circuit. Someone else posted that essentially if you add more than 2 of these in your house, the combined bandwidth could be up to 500mb. In my case, I had a near-wifi dead zone (1 bar, Amazon prime wouldn't stream), and after adding this, and a wifi router I turned into an AP, I can now stream Amazon prime without any issues, via ethernet to my roku, and wifi on my other devices gets MUCH better signal. In short, if you only plan to get 2 of these, you shouldn't need the 500mb ones. If you plan to setup 3+ over your house, and you have a gigabit router already, then go that route. I got these b/c at the time, they were the same price as the 200mb ones. Good luck w/ your purchase!

Although I have not tried it yet my self, yes- you are supposed to be able to do this according to Roku box & manual.

Yes it's a switch not splitter so only 1 source will go through at a time and it shouldn't matter if both are on.
1710199
yes, put the router cable in and you can run 4 other devices. the more you use at one time, might, slow down streaming. i use one to go to my computer, and my wireless router that runs the others.

Yes, this should work for you. If you would rather have your presentation show on both places at the same time consider a powered splitter.

I don't know about 2 Rokus but my husband watches TV in our living room and I sometimes watch on my computer at the same time. Two different shows so I think you should be able to do the same thing with the Rokus. Not for sure tho, maybe someone else with 2 of them can give you a better answer! Have to add, I only use this for Netflix.

You can add as many as you want, though I understand the practical limit is 12 for one single household due to speed/throughput considerations. If you have that big of a house where you need more than that, then you can probably afford to hire a professional to install ethernet cables in all of your rooms and you can skip using these adapters.

We have two Rokus, could that be Roki? Anyway, we have one at our mountain home and one at out city apartment, we switch them out on our total of 3 TV's, so the answer is, convince! You can move them all over and they work where ever you use them. If you don't want to move them and possibly put in a new wifi code get as many as you can afford, if you don't mind moving them about you could have one or two and be happy. I think Roku is great and have had my first one for over 2 years.

Let me make sure I have what you want to do correct. You want to get a second 4 port switch only and use it together with the one you have and use it from one single powerline adapter. This can work if you are using the second switch in the same room as the current one and you use one of the ports from the first switch to then pass through to the second switch. The effect of that would mean you only have six ports useable for wired equipment. If it's to go into a second room then you would need another powerline adapter and the switch. Hope this helps if not let me know more info on the exact setup you are creating. Let me make sure I have what you want to do correct.

No. In fact, they do not recommend that. I had to have two on my network to support six cameras, but that's because the three cameras on my dock/boathouse were so far away from the main house that the Power Line signals from the cameras would not reach the adapter connected to my house router. I added a second HomePlug adapter in the boathouse, connected to a router in the boathouse (connected by Cat 5 to the house) and they work fine. As long as all of your cameras are close enough to your HomePlug adapter to get good signal strength, you only need one adapter connected to your Cat 5 Router.

No, you should be able to use as many as you want. I have 5 in my house. All you need to do is set the dip switches all the same so they all operate on the same channel. That way when any one of them goes off, the rest will follow suit. These are all completely wireless operated. Ours were checked by our local building inspector after I installed them and they were given a thumbs up.
