I’m still annoyed how this is made. i always assumed it just split it into two base100 connections. the fact that they were too cheap to do even that is… just stupid.

      thats why i listed what the product is to begin with, followed by the actual video name. It has a de-clickbaited title, followed by the actual name for searchability!

      Also, this is one of the less clickbait titles, since there is no way that the product would work, and then it doesn’t.

      Yea, even if it worked, the only advantage is that it would be passive.

      It really is a (failed) solution looking for a problem.

    Yea, the “turn one of the devices off” requirement was so weird … Fortunately I always simply bought a gbit network switch, their main disadvantage is that they require electricity and in most homes you don’t have a setup for power over Ethernet.
