Hi wise folks, I likely found my goal at amazon, say a tp-links unit, but if it is common enough where I could just dance into say a Canada computers, that would be preferred. Basically I seek a simple classic plug and play Ethernet splitter, say with 4 or 5 ports. something that does not require software, even fanless will work. I am hoping once I also find a quality power bar, to connect equipment that is on the other side of my home studio from my desk. Everything I personally use has standard Ethernet ports, with my hoping to set things up once, no removing cables and the like. Am I picturing this correctly, and is there a simple place I can get one inexpensively? Thanks, Karen
There is no such thing as an "Ethernet splitter". There have been some adapters that run 2 Ethernet connections over a single cable, by using only 2 pairs for each connection. However, that limits you to 100 Mb, when Gb is commonplace these days. What you want is a cheap Ethernet switch. A 5 port model should run somewhere around $30.
That should be cheap 5 port gigabit switch.
