How to Enable an Ethernet Extender

Ethernet cables are used to connect computers to networking devices, such as modems, routers and switches. In the event that the distance between your computer and networking device is too great, you can make use of an Ethernet extender, connected to two Ethernet cables, to connect your devices. Since the extender is a simple device that does not require power, it is automatically enabled as soon as the wires connected to it are connected to the proper devices.
