Hall oils, dear people,
today I want to ask a technical question. The Wi-Fi router is in the living room. From there a long LAN cable runs through the wall to my room, but the hole for it is behind my huge wardrobe (that I share with my brother and partly my mother).
Now I want this long LAN cable to go into a LAN splitter and that this splitter then supplies my PC, my PS4 and my switch with a LAN connection. However, so far I have only found LAN splitters that should go directly into the router and from there it is then possible to connect the LAN cables for the devices. But that's not possible because of my closet.
So I wanted to ask if you know a splitter where you plug in a LAN cable on one side and then have three LAN cable connections in the output, so to speak.
I thank you in advance for the answers and I hope that someone can help me.
LAN cables are not split, they are switched
Oh, oki 🙈😅
Thanks.
I then assume that only the device that is currently in use is "supplied" with LAN?
You need a switch. Comes in all possible sizes
Nope all that's the point of it. You just need a power connection for the switch. The devices then just share the line but with Gigabit Lan no problem either.
^ Correct with a switch: https://geizhals.de/...at&hloc=de
The device you are looking for is called a LAN switch. Not "splinters".
It has an "uplink" LAN connection (which goes "up" to the router) and several ports to which you can connect your devices.
As you describe you only have one supply line and want to use several devices at the same time, a network switch is required for this.
This can supply all devices that are connected with a network connection at the same time, with the number of ports you have to remove the supply line.
For your application you should only make sure that it is a gigabit switch (1000Mbit / s)
Thanks alot.
