I can't get a wireless signal from my computer to my bedroom, where I have a TV, Bluray player & DVR. Is this and a patch cable my answer?

Yes it would work if you ran a Cat 5 ethernet cable from your router to the 5 port switch and then attached your devices to the switch using some more ethernet cables. However, have you thought of getting a wifi extender instead to get the signal to your bedroom. I also have a Netgear Universal Range Extender and that works great to get a strong signal all over my house.

Not sure what you have in mind, but this is not a wireless device. If you have a long enough Ethernet cable that you can run from your router to your bedroom, you can use it basically like an extension cord. You'll have to plug the Ethernet cable from your router into the TRENDnet device, and then plug in your various devices (TV, etc.) into the TRENDnet device with more Ethernet cables. Kind of defeats the purpose of wireless, but it will work. The other solution would be to invest in a wireless range extender so that your signal reaches your bedroom.

It's been a while since I had that device, and I never tried connecting via cable. However, as far as I know, a wired connection is better than a wireless connection in any circumstance with current day technology.

Another alternative is: NETGEAR Home Theater Internet Connection Kit (Black)I did try the wireless client and a bridge combo (ASUS & D-Link), but using 4 separate Home Theater equipments (Denon AVR43010CI receiver, Oppo BDP83 Blu-ray player, Panasonic V-10 TV, and DishNetwork HD-DVR) connected to this combo was getting me inconsistent performance.Using the above has worked out fabulously. Read the reviews for it.

There is nothing built in the dvr that would do it but there may be something you can buy from another company to connect to the network port but I have not checked into it. I will say that the wired network port is very stable and we use several of these in an industrial setting and have never had trouble accessing the DVR over the network when we need it. You would need to see if there is some wireless adapter somebody sells that can convert the network port to wireless but I do not know if they exist as I have never looked.

I ran the signal over a 50 foot HDMI cable to a 720P TV, so i know that at least that much works. I think it needs to be a pretty good cable for that. This is the one I got for it at just under $25 with free shipping. 50FT HDMI CABLE 1.4 1080P ETHERNET BLURAY 3D TV DVD PS3 HDTV XBOX LCD LED SALE

I just installed one of these in a home theater system, and in going through the initial set up process, it gave me an option to choose between wired or wireless internet access. Try going back into the set up and see if you maybe chose the wired, rather than wireless. CDA

To be honest, I haven't tried it yet since I am always busy with other stuff. You need video capture software on your computer and a connecting USB cable, but there should be no reason why there would be a problem as long as the signal gets through. Hope to get around to it one of these days!

Hi,I am using a NET GEAR power LIne wireless access port WGX102, that I bought at Best Buy for $89.Works great.One unit plugs into the wall near my router and plugs into that via a ethernet wire. The second unit is plugged in near the player with an ethernet cable plugged into that. Took a few minutes to work but it did. I am sure there are other methods to connect via wireless connection, but not even the people at the Sony store were able to help. Any kind of wireless bridge should do the trick.

It is not suggested that you use it over wireless as most wireless doesn't have the dedicated thouroughput necessary, although in some instances it may be feasible just not suggested. All you need at minimum is Cat5 wired network although suggested is cat 5e or cat6 gigabit wired. Why wired? because it reduces or removes most issues you would run into with a NETWORK tuner. With a network tuner everything that used to be done locally on your computer with the pcie version needs to run over the network to your htpc, and that can easily show any flaws in your home network. You do NOT need extenders to use this, if you install the beta firmware and drivers that include DYNAMIC tuner allocation, any Win7 machine should be able to use any of the tuners as long as they are not in use at the time - but in not using extenders recorded TV will be scattered all over the place and on different machines. If you are only using one media center PC you are just fine, extenders can be used to create a "whole home" dvr system since they access and display all recordings and live tv by connecting to your MAIN media center PC. You CAN allocate tuners if you want, that is the old method, but if you allocate tuners those tuners become only useable by that specific exclusive PC it is allocated to. If you want the InfiniTV6ETH to dynamically assign tuners as necessary so that they can be used by any PC then you need the Dynamic tuner assignment firmware and drivers. The InfiniV6ETH can do everything the pcie version could and you COULD set it up just like the pcie version if you like, the only difference is you also have the choice to set it up to do DYNAMIC tuner allocation, something the pcie version cannot do. So you can record, watch etc. Hope that was helpful! :)

Isn't it a Bluray player...and I ran 60' of cat5 cable, and it is working fine.I think you may have a bad cable or port.Did you verify the cat5 cable with good a test meter?

I purchased a wireless bridge but I was not able to make it work. I don't believe it was the fault of the unit, I just couldn't get the bridge to receive a signal from my router. I achieved what I wanted by purchasing a Roku so I returned the bridge. I will try again when I get more time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I'm not an authority on the kind of router you have...but..it would seem to me that you would be better off using a wireless adapter that also has an ethernet plug. That way, you can reach your computer with the wireless antenna without having to use an ethernet connection, but you can also use the ethernet connection to plug a cable into your TV.

The intent is to send a wireless message on your Laptop to the receiver (the larger photo) and that is hard wired to your TV, which has a soft switch for a choice between inputs. I sent it back. My recollection is (maybe wrong) but the socket is not HDMI on the receiver, but regardless I could not make it work. Another gadget will connect your laptop HDMI to your TV HDMI but (for me) that is a 20 foot cable across the floor and I do not want that, Good luck. If you find a solution please write again.

I'm not sure, but perhaps you should the use best internet connection possible. I am wireless but use the best HDMI cable I could find. Make sure the connection has the highest signal possible or go to a direct ethernet solution. Hope this helps.

I use it for that exact same reason. It works fine for me from about 20 feet away from the computer. I have the computer in my bedroom and the signal passes through one wall just fine. It was spotty at first but after installing the supplied "pairing software" it works like a charm.

Yes, this device will solve your problem if you set it up according to the directions and make sureto locate it centered between your wireless router and the TV. I have a setup like yours and have no problems.
