Great HDMI Switch Box

Verified Purchase:Yes
After running out of ports on my smart TV, and getting tired of having to manually trade off connections, I bought this remote switch to do the work so I don't have to leave the couch! As long as I keep track of what device is in which port, all is well. (So I created a cheat sheet to remind me.)

My smart TV ran out of HDMI ports.

Verified Purchase:Yes
My smart TV ran out of HDMI ports so was forced to purchase a multiport eswitch to allow all the devices I plan to connect to the TV. Along with the necessary switch, I needed cables, so bought several. Should have enough now to hold me for some time to come.

My small-frame workstation has lots of power, but very few ports. The unit I was using had a couple of failed ports, so needed to purchase a new unit. With this addition to my workstation, I have plenty of USB ports available.

Great little portable storage device

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a need to exchange a large number of files with a friend so thought I would allow the exchange through this device.
It comes with imbedded software so doesn’t require any formatting prior to first usage. It functioned as expected and files were successfully exchanged.

Great Hard Drive for a great price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I operate a home server more or less as a hobby. It's forcing me to learn Linux but it also challenges other technical abilities, which isn't a bad thing. The server has over 15 drives in it so I expect occasional failures. This unit was purchased as a replacement. I try to buy replacement drives that are larger and faster than those being replaced. This unit will replace a 2TB, 5400 rpm device.

Setup was quick and easy. Before long I had linked an outdoor LED light set, an internal smart plug, and my Spotify account to the unit. It was just fun to say "Hey Google, turn on the Christmas tree!" and to have the tree light up.

Turn your powerline into a high-speed network with this TP-LINK AV600 Nano TL-PA4010KIT kit, which features compatibility with HomePlug AV, 802.3 and 802.3u Internet standards and a data transfer rate of up to 600 Mbps. AES encryption protects your data.
Yes... the bestbuy customer service agent who helped me, said I could only use 2 of these or the connection would diminish, yet from the answers it says you can pair as many as you need? Whats the truth?
Home power line wires are certainly not the best means for carrying high-speed Ethernet signals from one place to another. In my experience, I have successfully connected one source unit to 2 extensions without issues. It may be possible to add more, but I haven't tried that.

Do I need a router for these to work or can I just plug it into my WiFi modem?

Just bought a Netgear Power adapter kit. One IN and one OUT. Need to add more OUTs. Will Tplink output adapter work with Netgear at the other end? Compatibility any issue or not?

Can you use a power extender to plug it in
Due to the fact that my TV was physically located far from where I could get Ethernet access, I originally purchased a pair of Ethernet over power lines to be able to connect the TV to the Ethernet. I have used them in a distributed manner to offer access to other devices as well (laptops, Xbox, home theater pc, etc.) and they have functioned well in those applications. However, these devices can be sensitive to loading and I have found that their usefulness deteriorates as Ethernet load increases. As such, I would not recommend putting these devices on any type of extension cord. In fact, I believe I recall that the information included from the OEM specifies that they not be connected in this manner, but must be plugged directly into the outlets on either end.

It comes with a sturdy metal case and the NETGEAR limited lifetime warranty. It supports Energy-Efficient Ethernet (IEEE802.3az) for optimized energy savings and DSCP-based QoS for traffic prioritization.
Does it require a flipped cable to go from router to the switch or does it automatically detect and flip it internally?

I have a 5 port plug-n-play switch that bottlenecks my 200 mbs signal to 100 mbs. Will this switch have a 200 mbs throuhput?
You need to make sure your existing switch is something more than a 1/10/100 switch.
The network switch you are asking about is rated as a gigabyte switch. The last switch I had died, causing all kinds of issues. This switch has functioned perfectly and though I've not done all I can to try to bog it down, it has handled all I have thrown at it. I'ts carrying the traffic of 3 desktops, 2 external Tb drives, and 4 DVD players, 2 of which are Blu-ray.
