I have a smart TV connected to our router via a 10m (very flat) Ethernet cable that runs around the room under the edge of the carpet. I’ve since bought a new Freesat PVR that I’d like to connect in the same way. I don’t possess any kind of music server but if I did, it would be in the same part of the room.
I’d like someone knowledgeable to check my thinking on a solution, please. If I buy a network switch like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07VWB347G/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21 , I can power it near the TV, plug my existing flat Ethernet cable into it and then connect the switch to the TV and PVR with shorter cables (I already have a couple of cat5e ‘patch’ cables). If I ever go down the music server route, I could connect it similarly to this switch(?).
Seems simple - have I got that right or am I missing something obvious?
Thanks for reading.
