Hello everyone ,
I have some basic computer knowledge and I know how I can do this by purchasing a switch or an additional router but I was hoping maybe there is another way.
So my router is in my office up stairs. I have a wired connection to that running to my Gaming PC downstairs. Next to the PC is my television. I have a WD Media Player with a 2TB HDD connected to it. The media player also streams Netflix/Youtube/Hulu if connected with an ethernet cable. I have been unplugging my PC when I want to watch something on Netflix and then later plugging it back in for Gaming/Browsing. I know I could use another router here but I was hoping there was simpler way , like maybe an adapter?
I do not need the Computer and Netflix device to communicate with each other , I just need both of them to be able to access the internet without pulling any plugs. It would be a plus if they could both use it at the same time , but this is not necessary.
I am looking for the cheapest simplest solution possible. Running the wire all the way to my router is a pain in the ass and I do not want to go through it again.
