Need to connect switch (dif room) to router: Will this product work if I use it to connect Switch #2 in ROOM B to my main router (in ROOM A)?

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.

I set it where I have the dsl modem going to the switch, then I have cat5e cables running into 3 different rooms to computers from the switch and a wireless router on the switch as well. So far we have had no problems with it.

If I understand your question, you would have to plug one module into a room where the router is and connect it via an Ethernet cable. Plug other module in the room that needs the internet connection and connect module to device with Ethernet cable. If you have another device in another room you would need to purchase an additional module, plug into the wall and connect that device with an Ethernet cable.

Yes. Once setup, it creates its own private network. You also need consider that the room needs an available Ethernet (with active internet) port for the router to work.

Yes. I did this downstairs with a second adapter to switch Ethernet to multiple devices. The first one upstairs gets Ethernet directly from my router.

Personally, I haven't had any problem at all. I have my router in the other room and it connects just fine. I can't really give you an answer, because I have not experienced that kind of problem. Hope you figure it out. Good luck

You cannot use this directly between your modem and your other devices (guessing that is how you hooked it up) you must use a router in between so it would be Modem -> Router -> Switch. Hooked together in that order.

I doubt it will work through a router or a switch.It is only good directly connected from the device to a computer.Look for a Cirago

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.

This will not work for a room with two switches. You need a "double pole" - when I ordered this product it stated double pole, but the packaging stated it was only single pole. I returned it.

A splitter will not work with a router, what you need is what is called a switched hub.

I purchased the ubiquiti tough switch which was designed for these routers so I am Not sure if your current system or setup will work with. sorry I couldn't be of more help

Hi Ivey, the one you picked is just a switch, not a router. You can go through this process so we can start suggesting a router for you. Here it is: http://goo.gl/7zB1dc

This device should have no issues working with any router or switch that has a gigabit ethernet port. The connection between the router and the modem is by ethernet. With that in mind, unless there is new technology in the D-Link WAN port, there should be no issues.

Greetings, This device is a basic soho ethernet switch, so assuming the router is configured to offer IP Addresses to other ethernet devices, then simple answer is yes. _In general_ you can plug your ethernet cable from your router in to the switch, and then plug in other ethernet devices. Non simple answer, your router is most likely setup to issue IP Addresses to the other devices via DHCP, so when you plug in the router first it will be listening for other devices which may requests an IP Addresse. So when you plug in the other ethernet devices they _most likely_ request an IP Address and the router issues an appropriate IP address (with DHCP) so all the equipment can operate to the internet through the router. There was a lot more I could have included, but that is the general model. I hope this information assists you.

I have mine connected directly into my router - one of the eight ports. I am not sure if it will work via a switch that is connected to the router - but I tend to believe it will because when you obtain this unit, you connect it directly to a laptop or desktop and set it up with an IP address and name and password for the wireless, and thus when you connect it in the location you desire, at that point, it is just another device on your network - so as long as it is wired, my "guess" is that it will work through the router directly or the switch connected to the router, but I have never tested that scenario. Hope this helps a little.

This switch has 20 ports. Typically you would only have 1 port connected to a router, the other 19 would go to end devices or other switches. Why do you want two connections from a router to the same switch? Type would seem to cause problems in the routing tables.
