No ethernet port?
I assumed that my flatscreen TV would have an ethernet port but it does not. I have an ethernet port on my DVD player and HDMI or USB ports on the TV. Do I need an ethernet to HDMI connector to use...
The WIFI connection to my TV is poor, so I was trying to get the best signal.
I am using a ROKU, so I probably need a WIFI connection to get to the TV (which does not have an ethernet port, though it does have a USB plug). The Powerline 2000 only gives me LAN to the TV, I must now need a WIFI converter to get a signal out for the ROKU.
It looks like I might have bought the wrong item and a simple WIFI booster might have worked for much cheaper, but I was unhappy with the loss of signal speed (though I didn't actually test that).
For the cost of a booster I now need to get a WIFI unit to add to my Powerline 2000.
The TV does have a "PC" plug (15 pin) but I guess that I still need a way to convert the LAN signal into something the TV can understand.
Is this enough information?
