Why can't I have two devices plugged in? With the ethernet connected in the input side, I can only have one device connected when in use

That is the way it also worked for me, which is not the intended way. When two inputs are connected one will work and one will not - which defeats the purpose of the device.

This device isn't a splitter so you cannot use it that way. It is required to have one on each end of the ethernet run. To split an ethernet signal you would need a switch.

Marco, Ol skip here can't do it cuz if you have DSL or any likeness of that the Modem won't let it happen wanna fix it? just do as I did get a eithernet router get it hooked up the program the other puter ot the router als when doing that you have now wifi in your home

three possibilities1. you are on a neteork that is not dhcp enable2. your network or device does not support a splitter3. you are using a defective or the wrong cable type

I would like to know this as well because I have NO Internet when I have it plugged in, so glad I wasted my money for something that doesn't work, sorry Marco but glad I am not the only person this happened to

I don't know the technical reason, but the product acts like a track-switcher for trains. The internet signal comes in one side, and then only goes out to one of the 2 devices you have hooked up at a time. Maybe a different product would handle 2 devices simultaneously, but not this one. This splitter helps reduce the number of wires you have running from your router.

You'll have to disconnect one device and connect the other. This unit can only connect with one device at a time.

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.

I suggest that you buy another unit then use a two way-plug to power both units. Or, contact the mfg. to see if splicing one into the other won't damage your units.

Is the power resetting or network connection?If network I would try a different Ethernet cord from your modem to router first. If it's power I would try a different plug first. At that point may be just as cheap to replace it all versus trying to find a new power cable to test.

Unfortunately no, only one device at a time, and you must disconnect the active device in order to connect a different device.

I could only use it one port at a time, even though there were 2 clients connected to 2 ports. The first client to be turned on would connect to Internet OK, the second client could NOT connect to Internet, and viceversa, if the second client was turned on first it would connect to Internet OK, however the first client would NOT be able to connect to Internet. I could never have both clients on and connected successfully to Internet, I ended up returning the switch.

I use one of them as input and another one as output for an in-house ethernet connection.

It is not possible. Why can't you run another ethernet cable from your router directly to the TV?

I know you can connect an Ethernet cable to the second device, and then whatever you connect to the Ethernet cable (in my case, a phone using a network) can be used.

Yes. You plug your main ethernet (coming from router/modem) into the device and then you can hook up up to 4 other devices. I have the main line coming into port 1 and then port 2 and 3 are outgoing to my computer and xbox and i have the option to plug in two more devices if i ever need to

Hello Dawn...You can go to Walmart or Staples and get a device that allows you to plug in multiple devices into the Ethernet Powerline Plug! Tom S.

one plug only for both besdide controllers. Be sure to plug it in tight. It is stiff.

It does have 2 Ethernet ports and both should be functional. Yours could have a faulty port. Have you tried connecting to your network with each port individually to confirm both ports are working? You may have a problem if you are trying to put different subnet masks in the two adapters. To do this in a computer you need to create trace routs for the adapters, and I don't think this NAS has that ability.

Level 3 Netgear support team (engineer) told me that I cannot use the 2 ethernet ports at the same time !!!

You should be able to hook up two computers. Should it not work, try hooking it up to another device to see if it works, if it doesn't, maybe you have a defective cable.

No it's not possible paring more than one at the same time, you should discconect the current device if you want to connect a different device.
