These boxes effectively work as bridges between 2 segments of an ethernet network. In my example I have an office with my Modem, Router, computers, laptops, etc. I have a nim100 connected to the network & coax there, then I have another nim100 in my entertainment center connected to a switch. I then have my TiVo, my PS2, my pch a100, & my wireless access point also connected to the switch. Everything works seemlessly together. You wouldn't need a switch if you only had one device to connect.
