Hi guys,

I have just bought a panasonic plasma that has an ethernet port at the back. I dont want to run a cable to it so am thinking of buying a wifi bridge. A friend of mine has got one of these and he says it works flawlessly. However, just below my plasma is a sky hd box, also hungry for an internet conection. Am I able to split the signal from the wifi bridge into 2 or 3 signals ? They are selling ethernet splitters on ebay an am wondering if this will do the job ? so Basically splitt the signal from wifi bridge to 2 devices ?

many thanks,

Some wireless bridges have more than one Ethernet (RJ45) socket which will do as you ask. Another option would be a pair of PowerLine Networking units (e.g. Homeplugs), some of which also have more than one Ethernet port.

A third option, and the best from a connectivity pov would be some Cat5E cable.

As has been alluded to, a pair of HomePlugs will be more reliable than a Wireless Bridge. You can expand the downstream HomePlug to connect more than one device by use of an Ethernet Switch Like this TP-Link 5-Port 10/100 Unmanaged Mini Desktop Switch (TL-SF1005D) Plastic Case: Mcab: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

I have exactly this setup at home and it works well.

I agree dump wireless when ever you can. Homeplugs is a far more reliable and often far faster connection. As already stated plug a switch into the remote homeplug and you have many connections.
