Ethernet powerline plug and hub

[rooney1000]

Hi

Anyone know if this would work ?

You know the ethernet powerline plug things...



Well I have a PS4 and a Amazon fire TV both of which i want to connect to my router which is quite far away so the wi-fi is sketchy. Currently have the PS4 connected to the router using one of these plugs and works great but now want to connect my fire TV (rather than move the ethernet cable every time !). Anyway, am out of plug sockets at both device and router end but was wondering if I installed an ethernet hub at the device end would it still work ?

So would be PS4 and FireTV into an ethernet hub, ethernet hub into a powerline plug. Powerline plug into Router at other end.

Make sense ? Would it work or should I just buy more powerline plugs and a couple of 4 ways !

Thanks

Absolutely fine, I have a gigabit switch plugged into mine.

What you want to do will work fine, it's exactly what I have, which is like this:

Router/Modem downstairs wired ethernet to my TV, FreeSat box etc. Then one ethernet wire to a powerline plug. The other powerline plug is upstairs in my office. That is connected to an 8 port switch. Then that connects to my main PC and other stuff in my office.

You just pair the powerline devices and that's it. It's just like giving you a load more ethernet ports on your router/modem, only they are located in another room.

You can also buy powerlines with more than one port in them. I have one with 3..
