one HD MediaBridge Coax Adapter to a router using the provided Ethernet cable to establish a network connection and to an available coaxial outlet in the
room to access your home’s coaxial wiring. Then add the second HD MediaBridge Coax Adapter in another room to connect a PC or other Ethernet-ready
device (such as Game Consoles, Media Players, Blu-ray Disc Players, etc.) to the network.
