How to connect several devices without Wi-Fi (PC and TV on cable) to one Internet?

I went to two providers with the question of connecting to the Internet without a router is it possible? and both specialists answered yes of course – through a swich. I went to the dns store to clarify and there the salesman also confirmed yes it is possible through a swich. but when a particular person came to do the wiring he said that it is impossible (the TV will not see the connection and then I double-checked by sticking the cable directly into the TV – he is right).

All say to me to buy a router with Wi-Fi and do not worry, but I do not have and do not plan to mobile devices (laptop or smartphone). and the second point I have an inner conviction that the wired connection in any case more reliable and stable than wireless. what advice ? Internet PPPoE.

Answer

Only through a router. Without a router there is no way to configure the connection of several devices to the Internet through a single connection (provider). On the router create a connection PPPoE, specify username, password and the router will connect to the Internet. After that it will distribute it to all devices.

The fact that you don’t need Wi-Fi is not a problem at all. Almost every router has an option to completely disable the Wi-Fi network. This can be done in the router settings. On some models there is a separate button to disable the wireless network. After that, the Internet will be distributed to your PC and TV only by cable.

Yes, I agree that cable connection is faster and more stable compared to wireless. If there are no mobile devices (which can be connected to the router only via wi-fi), then wireless network is not necessary.
