I apologise in advance for the 'newb' type question
I am looking to connect my kids PC to the net with one of these products
Devolo MicroLink dLAN Highspeed Starter Kit
There are two types that I can see (on Amazon.co.uk)
The one is just an ethernet connection, the other is Ethernet and USB
I have a cable modem connected to a router. I assume that either one of those products would work with cable.
All the diagrams etc i have seen show the ethernet cable going from the modem to the router to the Devolo Plug....then to the PC's.
I cannot see anywhere where it shows the 'original' PC connected direct to the router and the 'extra' PC connected with another ethernet cable from the router to a Devolo Plug then to the second PC.
Hmm, this isnt making a lot of sense to me and I'm typing it !!! ;D
Basically what I want to do is Cable Modem..Router...my PC and then
Router..ethernet cable...devolo Plug.. (in my room) Devolo Plug...ethernet cable...kids PC.
Will this work? I understand that with Cable I have a static address, but what about the second PC !!!???
I am asking here instead of the Devolo Site because I know I will get good answers here as opposed to just a company email
Thanks in advance
