| 1449298 | 2018-05-06 03:32:00 | My network here consists of the following: Draytek Vigor 130 modem TP-Link TL-WR1034ND wireless router - running Gargoyle Quite happily ticking along running 3 computers, and 8+ various other mobile devices, Until recently, it was also running VOIP via Yealink device. Anyway, I now have a smart TV. Beside the TV there is also a Home Theatre PC that connects to the network via a USB dongle. I would like to run both the TV and HTPC off one device, with wireless connection to the TP-Link. What do you recommend please? I don't have hundreds to spend, but do want quality please. |

TP-Link have them, easy to setup, example from PBTech www.pbtech.co.nz Setup one of those at a customers house a week back, along with these www.pbtech.co.nz They needed extra outlets but wireless wasn't required as the internet was going directly into the TV's Ethernet port. Sure beat trying to run cables through 3 levels of the building. |

| 1449301 | 2018-05-06 21:59:00 | If you can get under the house it is pretty easy to run a cable under the floor. Run that from your TP link and put a switch by the TV and plug the TV and adjacent PC into it. | CliveM (6007) | ||
