Can you use BT mini connectors for both BT Box and desktop internet connection?

Go to solution

Hi all,

As subject states, I want to know if I can use the BT mini connectors to provide desktop internet connection and BT box tv service in the same network?

Currently, we have 2 connectors setup for TV signal, one plugged into the router and one plugged into the BT box via ethernet cable. Could I buy a third connector, add it to the network and plug that into my desktop via ethernet as well? Could this impact the TV signal?

Might seem like a silly question but I'd like to make sure before I buy a third connector! I couldn't find anything in the connector's manual that states that these could be used in this configuration.

Many thanks!

Harry

Welcome to this user forum.

I assume the desktop computer is in a different room? If it was not, then you could use a network switch.

If its in another room, yes you can add an additional mini connector to the existing network, and it should not affect the TV. The additional one would ned to be paired with the other two.
