I would guess it should work on both computers and Wii as it says in the description "Instantly creates an Ethernet connection from any USB port for faster and more reliable internet connection."

The "smaller" plug you're talking about is an RJ45 plug, used for dial-up Internet - you'll get nowhere with that. You have a couple of options if you want to hook up your Ethernet cable. As you mentioned, yes there are plenty of USB to Ethernet adaptors out there, this is the simplest way of getting an Ethernet port on your computer. There are also PCI Ethernet Cards if you fancy your chances at installing it inside the computer, this will make it a little tidier and they're usually a little cheaper too. Your PCI slots, once installed will have the plugs located at the back of your PC, horizontally angled at the bottom - you usually have at least 4 slots, at the max of 7.

    Either one of those you just linked would work fine.

I cant seem to connect them to each other and to the hard wired internet
Connect what? Plug the ethernet cable(cat5- fat phone plug) into whatever and then into the router in the first available slot and repeat this process for every device. Make sure your router is plugged in and has internet connection. Good luck

What is the function of the red WAN socket on the back of my BT Homehub 5?
The red socket on the back of the HomeHub5 is to connect the Hub to an Openreach modem and thus provide a network facility for the whole house, wireless or via ethernet cable. Since the Homehuh 5 has the modem built in anyway it seems a bit redundant unless you have an RJ45 (ethernet) plug connecting to your telephone line rather than the more usual similar but slightly smaller RJ11 plug which goes in the grey socket.
By the way I thank you for your testimonial and could find no other way to answer it than answering this former question of yours! Maybe I'll find a better way later on !
Anyway all you need to connect your Netgear is to use an ethernet cable from one of the yellow ports on the HomeHub and then configure the Netgear as necessary to act as a wireless access point, or wired router. The HomeHub5 is however quite a good wireless access point working at both 2.4Ghz and 5GHz bands to give you the best speed, as well as the network ports (yellow) on the back.

Desktop pc windows 7 sp 1 wired cisco dpc 3008 no additional devices random connections
I would first get a new Ethernet cable and try it. If that doesn't fix it, call your cable company and have them do a diagnostic from their end. They can tell if it is their equipment or not. It their modem is OK, and the Ethernet cable is OK, then your LAN (Ethernet) card is either going bad, or possibly not completely inserted in the socket. To check: turn off and unplug your PC. Take the side off, look where the Ethernet cable goes into your computer. If it is on the motherboard, you may want to get a LAN card and use it instead of the onboard. If the cable goes into a card plugged into one of the slots, make sure it is fully inserted. If it is, you may want to get a new card.

Want to connect aDI-604UP wired router to a DIR-615 wireless router to use as a printer port wirelessly
Hello Richard.

For this, you have two types of connection
1. LAN_LAN (ethernet to ethernet) -->wireless router is acting as a switch
2. LAN_WAN (ethernet to internet)-->wireless router is acting as a wireless router

in this case, you need the LAN_LAN connection

Physical connection:
plug an ethernet cable from the ethernet port on the wired router and connect the other end of that cabl to the ethernet port on the wireless router

Configuration:
log-on to the setup page of the wireless router, do this while the wired router is turned off.
-open your internet browser, type 192.168.0.1 on the address bar. Then type the username & password for the router ( default admin as the username, password : ).
Under the setup tab, click manual configuration. Then click network settings, change the router ip address to 192.168.0.5 & disable the DHCP server. save the settings. Just personalize the wireless network.

Hope this helps.

I am wanting to run my (currently wired) laptop to be wireless (have bought a USB adaptor to do this), but also keep my main PC wired. I clearly need the internet on my PC to set up my DLink G ADSL2+. I...
You will need a wireless router with a built in switch. Most of them these days will have a built in switch. Here is a picture detailing what I am talking about.

You're internet connection goes into the ADSL port. Now, it will be broadcast WIRELESSLY through the antenna to your laptop. With this example, you could connect 4 more WIRED computers through the LAN ports. The built in switch is the division of the connection into the separate LAN ports.

I trust that this will help you greatly and look forward to your response!

Have 2 desktops and we need internet connection on both
Hello...if your son's desktop is set up near the router, the simplest way is connect his desktop to the router via an ethernet cable.

To do this, find an ethernet cable. Plug one end into a spare port (socket) on the back of the router, and the other into the ethernet port on his desktop (it should look like this, with the ethernet symbol under it).

That's it! He should soon be connected to the internet.

NOTE: If you need to buy an ethernet cable, key words to look for are Cat5e or Cat6, straight or patch cable - NOT crossover.

If your son's desktop is not near the router, you may want to consider a wireless connection. Please come back to Fixya if this is the case, as this takes a little more time.

Connection
If your laptop is wireless then you don't need to connect the laptop to an ethernet wired connection. The ethernet does the same thing as the wireless. But if that is want you want to do it will work.

PS3 internet problem
Hi, best way to connect the PS3 is to buy a router, wireless or wired router. and if you go for a wired one, connect the ethernet cable (RJ45) from the PS3 to the Router,

Other option is plug ethernet cable into PS3 & other end into the Network card which will be built into the base unit, otherwise you can buy a ethernet card which should cost you about £10.
but you will need the PC switch on, whenever you want to use the PS3, as well as you will have to configure the network setting to get it working,,

Have a good new year

John
