3 Port Ethernet home plugs?

bobbymax

hope this is the correct forum

I'm wondering if there is such a thing as 3-port (or 4) home plugs?
I have two with 2 ports, but need another port.
Hope that's clear?

I know TP-Link make these, as I use an old kit of theirs where both adapters have three Ethernet ports (TL-PA8030P). I've seen single three port adapters on ebay for £25.

The cheapest solution is to buy an external switch rather than replacing the homeplugs with another pair that have a 3/4-port switch built in.

Thank you for the reply's all.

Plug one cable from powerline ethernet port to it, then you have 4 more ports to use.

Oh, OK., thank you.
I wasn't sure about doing it this way.
I'll give it a go

My Devolo 1200 HomePlugs all have 3 ethernet ports on them. Really good and rock-solid system. Although I've moved to a Mesh wireless system which gives me even better coverage.

I choose the Devolo original specifically because of the 3 LAN ports in addition to a wifi access point. It was very useful to have next to my AV rack.
