Question about powerline adapters

[BrapYeah]

Hi,

I am thinking of running a powerline adapter to the far end of my apartment as the wifi is shit down there and it makes it hard to do anything and it is kind of the schoolwork room also with a chromecast for Netflix.

I am looking at this powerline adapter

Basically I want to be able to plug in 3 computers in this room, I am wondering if I can just get an Ethernet splitter or will I have to get an extra adapter? Or even a cheap switch if it is cheap enough. Keeping cost down is the number 1 priority.

There is no such thing as an 'ethernet splitter'. You can get a switch, but not a splitter. If you mean hub, keep in mind, hubs should never have existed in the first place.

yep, just put a powerline adapter in your room from the router and plug it into a 5-port unmanaged switch (most go for about $20-30 these days)

i got a D-Link PowerLine AV500 Passthrough Mini Adapter Starter Kit today and my speed is slower than wireless if you are using it in a apartment it would be alot slower because your connected to everones power and other people can steal it but buying one and just pluging that in but you can make it private and there is such thing as a ethernet spliter i use one my self so i can use my ps4 and pc off the same splitter
