Hi,

I would like to setup a powerline network at home with your products. If I buy a two ports kit, there is two adaptor with two ports each. The one near the router will have two ports but if I understand well, it only need one port ?? Do I need to connect two network cable on my router to use the two ports near my computer ? Or can I buy a single port adaptor for near my router and then buy a two or three port one for near my computer ?

Thank you for your time

Jonathan

You only need to connect one network cable on your router to use the one ports of the adapter near your computer.

But if I want to use the two ports near my computer, do I need to connect two network cable on my router ?

No. These multiple ports work exactly like an ethernet switch does. You can use the extra port near your router to plug a device in there.
