If you mean only one device to two ports, then yes. One device in each port. If you mean you want a splitter to add more than two devices, then no.

That should be fine, but we have no idea what you are doing, where it goes wrong, or any error messages you might see.

 

You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's impenetrable community structure.)

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
