Hey everyone

 

So I need to get wired internet to a room in a house without anything but regular 120v outlets (USA). 

 

I want to use powerline adapters, but the ones I want only have one port, and I need at least 5. Can I connect the powerline adapter to a network switch, and also attatch an xbox/ ps4, computer, apple tv, and router to this switch, and use them all the same?

Yes, there won't be any issue going from powerline to a switch and then fanning that out to everything. You won't get the full bandwidth to every device obviously, but you'll still get good speed and internet to everything :)

Yea, I won't be using them all at once anyway. Thanks!
