[QUOTE="Rob Lancaster, post: 170120, member: 6154"] I get it now,, awesome! Years ago I had a Linksys 4 switch router. No POE though... Now I recognize the term, switch... All I have now is this stock thing from our local cable company.. Here's a photo of my li'll unit. It looks like a 3 switcher.. 1 Ethernet and 2 for the phone... The box for the tv is on the other side of the cable split... As for the POE part.. That makes total sense when I think about it. You gotda get power from some where. The POE ports and cables make power destitution nice and nifty... Oh murankar,, like the wood work... I like to make my own stuff if I can... Hey guys,, look close at the coaxial cable input to the modem/router... See that black thing on the top of the cable? That's what's left behind from these pesky geckos that constantly invade the house. Years ago one got into the tv and shorted out the power supply for the picture driver. Because the tv was only a year old, I replaced the board. Now that it's over 12 years old the picture is fading to white from the top... Maybe time for a new one.
