Thats the one I have? No bueno?
You use a network switch like this one: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Ethernet-Splitter-Unmanaged-TL-SF1005D/dp/B000FNFSPY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=amazon+basics+network+switch&qid=1574819563&sr=8-3
You take the network cable from the wall into the switch, then you take a network cable from the switch to the Tablo and another network cable to the Amazon Fire.
That's it. Nothing to configure or fuss with and both things are functional at the same time.
I'm also wondering if I could use something like this ethernet splitter and plug it into the wall plate port and then run a wired connection to everyone's computer?
hmm.. interesting then. So with a network switch such as this I could just plug it in through my 1 ethernet port in my room and then just plug in my switch/pc from that? Or does this switch need to connect directly to the router? Because the router is in the living room at my apartment and cant exactly move it to my room
I've never seen a 2 port switch. Here is a 4 port switch for the price you're looking for. Yes, it may have more than you need now, but you can reuse it later.
