Does twin ethernet adapters work
Hello.
I'm considering buying a second Artist Mix and since I will then need a second Ethernet port I'm considering a usb-to-ethernet hub with two ethernet ports, like this: https://www.startech.com/Networking-...rt~USB32000SPT Will this work? Or do I need a router/switch for some obscure network reasons? EDIT (many years later): Twin Adapters like the one listed does not work well. Switch or router is needed for more than one connection.

Re: Does twin ethernet adapters work
I run a WiFi router here that also acts as a hub. Not only do I have Artist MIX and Transport connected(and both work dandy), its a 5GHz dual-band that also allows me to run PT[Control on my iPad(2nd Gen) for more(and remote) control If you are counting pennies, a simple ethernet switch will handle multiple Artist units(IIRC, you can run up to 4 Artist Mix units for 32 faders)

Use a cheap router or switch.

Thanks for the help.
What will the difference in funcionality be if I chose a switch instead of a router? |

Re: Does twin ethernet adapters work
A router has a DHCP server in it and a WAN port/firewall to connect to the internet. A switch just passes data.

Are there any differences in how I setup the system in preferences, differences in performance and things like that? Which do you recommend for a user with a limited system only used from time to time. I prefer things to be as easy as possible and I only need to connect ethernet to the Artist units, nothing else. |

Re: Does twin ethernet adapters work
If you are not connecting to the internet and only connecting EUCON surfaces on the network, the best way is with a switch. If you only have one surface, a direct cable between that and the computer is even better. With this method you can leave all settings on the surface and computer default too.

I do use Wifi for internet but ethernet only for the Artist Series. So which would be the best in this case if I prefer to change as few settings as possible when the Artist units are connected? |

I plug both of my units straight into the Macs Ethernet ports ... no problems thus far unless I use wifi to connect to the net

Re: Does twin ethernet adapters work
You could plug them into the router where your wifi is, there should be 4 ports on it.
