really curious about these units, other then a wify adapter only way to connect my blueray to the network but I am wondering can multiple outlets be used with only one connected to the router ? Like one at the router, one at the tv and one in my shop ( currently on a bridge, WAN works great, LAN is poky) That would seem like a conflict ur are the matched and I would need two at the router. interesting technology, really curious how this works.
