Possible to connect a blu-ray and a televsion to the same wireless adapter?

[luckyvic]

[h=1]I have Cisco-Linksys WET610N Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming and Video Adapter connected to my television and would like to connect my blu-ray dvd player to it as well. Is it possible to split the ethernet cable output to both devices? [/h]

Yes you can do that easily, what you need is a device called a switch.

If you connect the switch to your Linksys WET610N, you can then connect both devices to the switch.

So your end result would be:

Wireless Router < Linksys WET610N < Switch < TV
Wireless Router < Linksys WET610N < Switch < Blu-ray player

Something like this will do fine: Amazon.com: NETGEAR GS605NA Giga Switch 5Port: Electronics

Thanks! I'm a little tight on $$, so could I go with this one instead?

Yes that will work perfectly fine, thats a 100mbps switch, the one i linked to is 1000mbps (gigabit).

For what you want it for it will be more than fast enough.

Ive got a couple of Netgear switches, they have been powered on for years and just worked.
