Hi all, I have powerline network from downstairs next to router up to my bedroom with PC currently connected. TP Link AV500 Nano, very quick, get about 80-100Mbps and plugged directly into the router I hardly get much more so it's exactly what I need.

However I've now got a PS3 sitting here and I want to know how should I go about sharing the one ethernet out that I have from the powerline adapter in my room. Currently I keep switching cables which is annoying because everything is neatly tidied and arranged and I have to keep moving it all.

A network switch would do the job but it's always powered on and I'm wondering if there's a passive solution like a physical junction box I could use or something that just splits one ethernet stream happily into two...

The other solution is get a powerline adapter with more than one output but that's the more expensive option as it stands. Also I don't know which adapters would be compatible with my current set...

Have you got any ideas? Greatly appreciated.
