Hi,

 

There should only be one Ethernet cable connected from one of the PG2400P units to the AX6000 router.

 

The other PG2400P unit should connect to your client devices, like computer, TV, game console, etc.

I guess you could connect a client device to the second Ethernet port if you wanted, albeit it doesn't appear to make much sense for most use cases. 

 

Maybe TP-Link just felt it's more economical for them to put two identical PLC adapters inside the kit, rather than making two separate versions, one with two Ethernet ports and another with just one Ethernet port?
