Do you have to install an agent on each PC that uses this adapter? How about other devices connected to it like a network switch?

You just have to connect adapter to your network and the other adapter to the device you want to have an internet connection. No other setup is required.

It will configure independently from the current NIC. It will behave similar to a typical laptop setup with a wired NIC and a wireless one when used on a desktop. Hope this helps.

I have not tried this myself, but you may also want to look at powerline network adapters.

I have used it on 2 desktops so far. I am planning on buying a second unit to connect another PC to my home network. I am considering another one for my laptop as well, as the web is PAINFULLY slow on the built in wi-fi. Strong signal and easy set up.

I am using one on windows 8. I have used this type of adapter with only one device (mouse or keyboard) connected. Just be sure you connect each PS-2 device to the correct prot on the adapter.

Hi Stan. We agree to the other users. This is a wired switch and you can add this to your network if you want to have more wired devices.

Form what I understand (and I do NOT know computers) there is a switch you need to buy so that you can do so. I had the same question for my IT friend, and that was his answer to me. Good luxk

Yes, you can ... if you don't use the security (encryption) all you have to do is plug them in the wall ... that's it. With security it's not complicated ... just press a button on one for like 3 seconds ... look for blinking light and then press the button on the other adapter for 3 seconds. Afterwards they should connect ... to verify just run the included utility on the CD and you should be able to see all the adapters connected to your network.

Required a 2nd Ethernet port on your Router to connect the power line adapter. Unless you have your router connect to the Powerline and get your desktop to be wireless or with another set of power line adapter.

This adapter allows two computers to be connected together with a Cat 6 cable, without a Ethernet Switch in the middle. Only one adapter is needed on one end of the Cat 6 cable. It does not matter which end of the cable the adapter is installed on.

I have the Netgear kit, it works great. I want to add more connections, but it is no longer for sale. Anyone know if Netgear's MoCA product would play nice with the MoCA adapters from ActionTech or DLink? Best if I don't have to start all over with new gear.

My understanding was both adapters were meant to run on one network for device/adapter redundancy, not network redundancy.

You need to look at your network topology, not the EX4. There are a lot of different ways to get this thing visible on two networks, but be thankful that this thing doesn't act as a switch or hub, because connecting your two networks (physical or virtual) together, just plugging them into each other anyway, is more than probably going to create DHCP and DNS resolution hell.

It's two adapters that have Ethernet ports. You plug one near your router and then using a cable connect it. You plug the second near where ever you want and plug it in. It should be that simple. If your router only has 1 port, you will need a small switch.

Hello, it works fine...

Yes, the adapter is the same as putting two individual network cards in your machine. As long as they are configured correctly you can access networks connected to both at the same time.

J-Dee, Chris Geiser, Product Line Manager for NETGEAR here. These devices will work to solve you're problem. Just think of the adapters like a long Ethernet cable. You'll connect Switch #2 to the adapter in Room B and connect the adapter in Room A directly to the router.
