ethernet cable

One ethernet cable coming from router to two different Units. Is there an adapter that splits? Basically I have one ethernet cable in-wall and have two units (PS3 and Wii). How do I connect both, without having to reconnect the cable to either one and without running a second cable from the router? Is there an adapter, splitter, etc...? If you may please also link me to what is needed. Thanks so much!

You have to use an Ethernet switch :
Example : http://www.amazon.co.uk/D-Link-DGS-1005 ... 724&sr=8-1

Any wireless router will work also, just turn off the WIFI and the DHCP on it. I have 2-3 old "G" routers at home with broken antenna that I save for this purpose.

Make sure you get a smart switch. If you get a dumb switch you could have problems. The one Illico copied looks good.

I have http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-Gigabit ... omputers_0 and it works very well.

You could even just get http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-Unmanag ... omputers_1 as 100Mbit ethernet is still more than enough bandwidth for playing back HD content.

Watch about basic switches, there has been a couple of users that could not get more than one renderer to work when going through a basic switch (more like an old fashioned Ethernet HUB).

Well the one I have has been fine with two devices, and I think I've used it with three at once when I was initially testing it out. I'll have a play at some point to see if I can find the limit.

If it works with two it should be fine. The one I am talking about could not even use two at the same time.
