The Tether Ethernet Switch and Cable

PreviousOverviewNextConnecting to the Tether Network

Last updated 12 days ago

There are many small Ethernet switches that are suitable for use, available for purchase on Amazon or other platforms, often for less than $15. You want to have the following features:

  • Able to work with network speeds of at least 100 mbs.

  • Able to work on 5V power

  • At least three ports (five is typical)

  • You also will need a 6"/150mm Ethernet cable, also capable of 100 mbs speeds.
