Best mesh system in metal building
Nighthawk router - works perfect. Ran ethernet cable under ground, in conduit, to metal building. 2 cameras installed that I need wifi access for. Tried splitting the main line to each camera and hard...
Ethernet Splitter Adapter -
The single end has the cat5 cable from the modem/router at the house and each of the other go to the cameras respectively. Isnt this the same concept as a switch? (I do have a switch but it seems to disrupt the connection/overload the system when I have it plugged in??)
Does the switch give each camera an access point where as the splitter adapter does not?
A splitter literally splits the 4x pairs into 2x pairs. Theoretically it can work but it can also cause a lot of issues and slow downs.
