canalsiderenovation Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 We need two ethernet sockets and got this splitter from Amazon. We can't get it to work. The TV will work directly connected to the ethernet Socket and separately the powerline connects to the Ethernet but when we try and use the splitter we can't get either to connect via ethernet. I've even bought another thinking it was faulty and same issue. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong please? Clearly the main socket works fine but something isn't working when we use the splitter for two ethernet sockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doh, we just realised we needed power 🤦♀️ Need to find a plug now as they only supplied the USB cable.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't be blamed for this mistake as I wasn't let near it after I broke the ethernet socket module by shoving the cable in upside down with force 🫢 My argument is that we wouldn't need a splitter or poweline/extender if it wasn't for the other half being insistent on a camera doorbell on the gate so all of this could have been avoided if we just had a normal doorbell..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
