QuestionI already have Actiontec powerline and 4 port Hub.My questions is Do I need another hub to get internet connection in my bedroom. What do i need to buy? Can i just buy another port hub or do have order another set?
Asked 9 years ago by TechWorld.
- Answer Put one Actiontec in your room, the other one near your 4 port hub. Assuming you have your 4 port hub as your "router" which is then plugged into your Cable / DSL model??? Is it a 4 port like Wireless Hub? If all you have is 1 of these you can't do squat. Need 2. One has to be plugged into your router so it can route the requests from all your other "power adapters" in the building. Then you put one in each room that you want to use them. If you have 5 rooms, you need 6... 3 you need 4 and so on.

QuestionEthernet cableCan I use ethernet cable to wire this with my desktop, in order to connect to the Internet?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The simple answer is yes, but only if you have more than 1. You plug your computer into this, this into the wall. Then you go to where your router is and plug another into the wall, and then a cable from it into your router... Done

QuestionSo I plug in the Ethernet cord and put it in the wall socket and hook up the other end of the Ethernet cable into my ps4
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer That is correct. You will need to make sure it comes with two. Sometimes they sell them individually. Ethernet out of your LAN port on your router, other end into the adapter, plug the adapter into an outlet. Take your second one and do the reverse. Plug into the wall in the room with the PS4, then ethernet from the adapter into your PS4. Bear in mind, these only work when you are connecting two outlets in the same breaker panel. For example, If you have a separate breaker panel/box for your first and second floor, those are two independent "circuits", so it won't work. If your whole two story home uses one breaker panel/ box, you are golden.

QuestionCan I plug a wireless router into the unit that I plug into another outlet in a different room (not the one at the initial router)? I'm thinking that I can extend the wireless capability if possible.
Asked 9 years ago by RevnRef.
- Answer Yes, but you will need to make sure you set the router being used as an extender into an "access point only" mode. There should be instructions on how to link together two routers in your router's user manual, if it's possible.
