Does it make sense to buy a splitter (5 port)?

li
- in PlayStation

The thing costs about 26 euro and would only be used for a laptop and a Ps4 Pro. And if visit comes, then still further 3 can be used. We will get a good 100K Internet connection… The LAN cable to the splitter is (or will be) about 10-15m long🤷🏻♂️ The cable and the splitter together cost 49,27 euro😬

So the laptop has "IEEE 802.11ac (wireless LAN standard)"

Or rather only 1 LAN cable for the device (😹) ¿

Splitter: Netgear GS305 5-Port (19.79 euro) or NETGEAR GS305E 5-Port (25.42 euro)

Or rather leave everything over Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi is more than sufficient in most cases.

I would connect the PS4 via LAN cable. Laptop only if you rumhantierst with large files or want to gamble on it. I have in the basement a 19 "switch with 24 ports, but you only need if you have servers, many rooms and / or many devices.Lan I really much prefer, but with a laptop, this mobility is limited, as can you take the same desktop.

25 euro are not much for a splitter, you can already invest.

Do not you get a new router then, usually have more than one LAN port. Alternatively, you can also extend the DSL cable.

Lan is usually preferable. Possible interference from outside are completely shielded and Lan has a ping advantage over standard WLAN cards.

All you need is a simple "switch" like the GS305 and a 15m cable (CAT5E, CAT6) for 10

But the laptop has the IEEE 802.11ac and so has only about 5Ghz, which is quite a measure, the rope will hang behind the next wall

li

Of course, the several connections, but I do not want to move unnecessarily many LAN cables in the next room

br

Only 5GHz has no device. So you will be able to use the 2.4GHz band as well. And even so, a wall is not a problem.

I have best network with my router in the entire apartment - 2.4 and 5GHz.

Za

Therefore, the note that you can extend the DSL cable via LAN and the router can then place directly in the vicinity of the PS4

According to the description of the WLAN antenna, the notebook only has 5 GHz

br

Then probably just the description is wrong.

Acer Aspire 5 515-52g or so. Take a look

According to Acer WLAN "IEEE 802.11a / b / g / n / ac". So of course 2.4 GHz capable.
