3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your NEWCARE Gigabit Ethernet Splitter:

1. Power Connection: Connect the provided USB power cable to the DC5V port on the Ethernet splitter. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a 5V USB power source (e.g., a USB wall adapter, computer USB port, or router USB port). This ensures stable operation.
2. Input Connection: Connect your main Ethernet cable (from your router, modem, or network wall port) to any one of the four RJ45 ports on the splitter. This port will function as the input.
3. Output Connections: Connect up to three network devices (e.g., computers, laptops, smart TVs, gaming consoles, printers, network switches) to the remaining three RJ45 ports on the splitter using standard Ethernet cables. These ports will function as outputs.
4. Verify Connections: Ensure all Ethernet cables are securely plugged into their respective ports on the splitter and your devices.
5. Network Verification: Once all connections are made, check the network status on your connected devices to confirm internet access and network functionality.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Ethernet splitter, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Environment: Keep the device in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the splitter. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Handling: Avoid dropping or subjecting the device to strong impacts. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the splitter, as this will void any warranty and may cause damage.
• Cable Management: Ensure Ethernet cables are not excessively bent or kinked, which can affect signal quality.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your NEWCARE Gigabit Ethernet Splitter, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• No Network Connection:
  • Ensure the USB power cable is securely connected to the splitter and a working 5V power source.
  • Verify that all Ethernet cables are firmly plugged into the splitter and your network devices/source.
  • Test the Ethernet cables individually by connecting them directly to your router/modem to rule out cable faults.
  • Confirm that your main network source (router/modem) is powered on and providing an active internet connection.
• Slow Network Speed:
  • Ensure you are using Cat5e, Cat6, Cat7, or Cat8 Ethernet cables for Gigabit speeds. Older Cat5 cables may limit performance.
  • Check the speed provided by your internet service provider and your router/modem.
  • Avoid excessively long Ethernet cables, which can lead to signal degradation.
  • Temporarily disconnect other devices to see if network congestion is the cause.
• Intermittent Connection:
  • Check for loose cable connections.
  • Ensure the splitter is not placed near sources of strong electromagnetic interference.
  • Try a different USB power source.
