Cisco-Linksys HPRO200 HomeLink Phoneline 10M Cable/DSL Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased the Linksys HPRO200 Phoneline 10M Cable/DSL Router and am very happy with its' performance.Although I did have a little trouble configuring Internet Connection Sharing, the Tech Support at Linksys was able to get me up and running after less than 5 minutes on the phone.
I previously purchased the Linksys HomeLink Phoneline 10M Network Card Kit from .... I have a Windows 2000 system networked pier to pier with a Windows ME system.Although I was able to share files between both computers, I was not able to share my Broadband Cable Internet connection.
With the Linksys Phoneline Cable/DSL Router I am now able to share my Internet Connection between both computers and I don't have to leave a "host" computer constantly running, as you would if using Internet Connections Sharing via a proxy server software program(or Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing).
In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is interested in sharing their Broadband Internet Connection between two, or more, computers.You won't have to pay for additional IP addresses, as most Cable providers suggest in order to share your connection.You will also benefit from the Router's built-in NAT Firewall.

Belkin A3L791-S 50-Foot RJ45 CAT 5e Snagless Molded Patch Cable (Blue) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these Belkin cables. They are very nice quality. They seem heftier than a lot of the other cables. My system analyst neighbor mentioned that he prefers to buy the 1000 foot roll. He runs them to wall outlets, then uses the 7 foot or 14 foot snap in cable from the wall to the PC. That way, you don't have to buy a 40 dollar crimping tool.
You can't solder these cables. They require a metal to metal contact, and lead-solder doesn't qualify. Also, it is critical to keep them spiraled, all the way up to the end. Even when attaching, instructions call for twisting them right up to the connection.
Since the tech instructions, tell you to keep them down to under 350 feet, these cables, whether they are long or short, are in the right lengths.
I know Amazon doesn't print prices in their reviews, but they have the local major chain office supply stores beat hands down. The 50 foot roll was half again as much locally.
These are the Category 5e cables. They give you a better return feed, which results in better overall performance. So insist on 5e instead of just 5. I initially bought some wall plates from Radio Shack that were Category 3, then I returned those for the snap in option Category 5. Those were returned also, when I went to Home Depot (of all places to go networking) and they had the complete Leviton line of 5e accessories.
If I had to do it over again, I would still buy the Belkin 50 footers. I don't want to have a 500 foot roll of ethernet cable hanging around.
These are tops. Gold plated connectors, Snag free ends, that protect that little lock in tab on the ends. You know the frustration of unsnarling a phone wire, out of a wiring mess, and the little tab bends over backwards, never to work properly again. Well Belkin built twin arches over the sides to prevent just that. Way to go. Highly recommended, good stuff, for a good price.

(More customer reviews)I received this product in two days even though I am in Hawaii.Great customer service!

Click Here to see more reviews about: RJ45 / RJ11 Cable Sharing Kit - Connecting your Ethernet and Telephone lines by One Network Cable

Product Description:
This set of two CAT5 Cable Splitters can be used, one at each end of a CAT5e cable, to carry one old fashioned analog telephone signal and one Ethernet signal by the same single CAT5e Cable.Such CAT5e cable splitters are especially useful for carrying Ethernet signal on an existing CAT5e cable in a house or building that was originally laid out for carrying telephone signals. As the result, you can set up the Ethernet LAN quickly and easily without laying out a new set of network cables, saving you hundreds or thousands of dollars from otherwise new cabling costs.The diagram above is a typical application of the CAT5 splitters for carrying both telephone signals and Ethernet signals by the same set of CAT5 cables in a house.The CAT5e splitters we sell are tested to work normally for Ethernet signals at 100Mbps without any noticeable interference from the shared telephone signals. At the same time, the telephone signals are tested crystal clear without any noticeable interference or noise from the shared Ethernet signals.

Wired Home TLTN RJ45 Network/Telephone Line Splitter Pair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The damned things didn't work.It's hardly worth the money to return them, so I decided to just eat the cost.I'll probably try a different brand because, should I find a working pair, it would be a great way to expand the capacity of my network without the hassles of running new wires.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Wired Home TLTN RJ45 Network/Telephone Line Splitter Pair

Product Description:
Even the best plans sometimes leave us needing more capacity. Wired Home Tel/Net line splitters are the perfect way to maximize the signal capacity of your installed network. Only two of the four pairs on a category network cable are used for standard 10/100 Ethernet applications, allowing you to piggy back telephone signals onto the unused pair for a single cable run for both systems; especially useful for expanding existing network runs. Sold in pairs, the Tel/Net line splitters feature two RJ45 ports for system input/output on one side, and a single Cat 5e output/input plug on the other for connecting to a network jack. Two network labeling placards and two sets of system identification inserts are included. Note: Jack 1 is wired according to TIA/EIA-568 A and B standards and should be used for the network connection.

Cables to Go 37133 2-Port RJ45 Splitter/Combiner Cable, Gray 6-Inch (Single Unit*) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm thinking the people rating this poorly don't understand how to use it. It WON'T split a single Ethernet CONNECTION into two. It WILL enable a single Ethernet CABLE (which has 8 wires) to carry two connections (which require 4 wires each). This is helpful in places where you have a single cable running from your router (typically in a wiring closet) to two devices, and can't easily run a second cable -- i.e., where one cable is already installed in the walls.

Here's how you use it: Run Ethernet cables from 2 ports of your router into the female jacks of the first splitter. Plug the male end of that splitter into the jack in your wiring closet that runs to the part of your house you want. Plug the male end of the second splitter into the Ethernet jack at the other end of that cable run (i.e., in the room where the devices are located). Run Ethernet cables from the female jacks of the second splitter to the devices.

If you want to use a single Ethernet connection for two devices, these splitters won't work; you need a router that shares the connection among the devices.

Product Description:
This 2-port passive splitter is handy when you need another network connection but don't have the time or the money to add another cable drop. Simply plug one device into your work area network port and another unit to the corresponding patch panel port. Now you can run two network devices over the same network cable. Non-intrusive to the network; a simple plug-and-play installation. Please Note: Sold individually, this item must be used in pairs for each installation, one on each end of the cable.
