I can't get a wireless signal from my computer to my bedroom, where I have a TV, Bluray player &amp; DVR. Is this and a patch cable my answer?

You have 2 options as this device is just a switch not a wireless router. If you have a wireless signal between your wireless router and your bedroom you can get a wireless extender such as a belkin or linksys (I have the linksys) for around $70 that plugs into a power outlet. Easy to set up and it uses the WPS signal button that you press on the extender and the wireless router and it sets up a wirelessEXT signal that you can see in your bedroom. The second option (which I have now as well) if you need a wired connection you can by the TRENDnet powerline adapters (2 of them, normally sold in a set) and one plugs in the wall by your router with an Ethernet cord connected to it(included) and the other one plugs in your wall where you want signal with an Ethernet wired from it (included) to this switch you are looking at, so you can plug in multiple devices. You would only need powerline adapters with one Ethernet port if you use a switch like this, more ports are more expensive. That option was around $25 plus this switch. With these options you don't have to run a long Ethernet cable from router to the bedroom, but if that's how you want to do it, that would work as well.

I have mine plugged into my wireless router via a networking cable...that way I can see my CCTV DVR wirelessly via internet explorer on any computer with wireless capability.

Yes, this device will solve your problem if you set it up according to the directions and make sureto locateit centered between your wireless router and the TV. I have a setup like yours and have no problems.

Not sure what you have in mind, but this is not a wireless device. If you have a long enough Ethernet cable that you can run from your router to your bedroom, you can use it basically like an extension cord. You'll have to plug the Ethernet cable from your router into the TRENDnet device, and then plug in your various devices (TV, etc.) into the TRENDnet device with more Ethernet cables. Kind of defeats the purpose of wireless, but it will work. The other solution would be to invest in a wireless range extender so that your signal reaches your bedroom.

I'm afraid I am also stumped getting a signal to the TV. Currently I'm settling for VGA and audio to the high definition TV. The definition on more recent videos is quite good with this hookup. From the information from my graphics card coupled with the TV manual, the hookup is not simple. Sorry.

Thanks Albert and A. Macharia. I'm a gal BTW... : ) I was able to use my HDTV as a monitor, but nothing more really. I bought the cable that you mentioned (A.) and I could watch Netflix, but the audio was still coming out of my laptop which wasn't fun. I ended up returning the cable to the Apple store and bought an Apple TV, but now downloading anything on that thing takes forever. Grrrrr...... Maybe it's time to bump up my wireless connection. IDK...

Any wireless g or better adapter should work. I went with a Tivo brand one as to not have to worry about it. You can get refurbished ones on their website for pretty cheap.

The only thing mine is connected to is the cable box...sorry, I don't have a clue.

No, you don't. Connection can be wireless if your cable provider has you set up with a wireless modum, or similar set up.

The device did not work well in my house. Sometimes I could get online but most of the time, I couldn't. HP and HughesNet both finally suggested that I have an Ethernet cable installed. Now I connect my laptop to the internet whenever I want. The device may work perfectly in another house. We were told that there is something in the construction of our house that was blocking the signal because of the soundproofing in our bedroom/living room wall.

Hello Raymond,That's the exact application I needed in my living room. My Xbox, for some reason, wasn't picking up the WiFi signal from myrouter, so I just ran an Ethernet to it and it works great. Hope this helps.JIM

Update: This thread got me wired just now...Wireless is in the works. [ndiswrapper isn't so friendly to this one for some reason - perhaps I nabbed the wrong wireless driver..]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409939

Thank You both so much!!! I FINALLY figured it out. I had to plug the wireless grey box into the BACK of the TV and not into the connection panel on the front of the tv. Geez! For non tech savvy people like myself, the company could be a bit more detailed about where to plug it into on a tv. Like most big screen tv's, there are quite a few places on both front and back to plug into. Thanks again for your input!

I purchased a wireless bridge but I was not able to make it work. I don't believe it was the fault of the unit, I just couldn't get the bridge to receive a signal from my router. I achieved what I wanted by purchasing a Roku so I returned the bridge. I will try again when I get more time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks. I'll try. Both my laptop and my computer have active little lights that seem to indicate they are sending or receiving signals. I gather that means a router would be sufficient if I understand K. Slon.

Let us start from scratch. What are you connecting to? The information that you provided "BNC RCA cable" to me sounded like you have a cable with BNC male on one end and RCA male on the other end. What connectors are on your cable?Sorry this mode of communication does not provide use of attachments. Look on internet for different adapters. If the end that has to connect to the DVR is BNC male, then look for "BNC female to RCA female adapter". Good Luck!

When you say cable are you refering to cable tv, satellte tv of off air tv ? I would check my connections into the dvr. If you bypass the DVR and hook directly into the tv do you have the same issues ?
