    I have a single Ethernet cable near my TV & XBOX. I wanted both to use a cable rather than wifi - for performance reasons. (I wanted to see 4K Netflix on TV) I bought this. When I read the directions there were several options that sounded complex. I finally decided to just plug everything in and see what happens. It worked perfectly. I now have that single cable supporting 3 devices. Performance is perfect, installation is simple.
