Connecting your TV Box using Network Connectors

Network Connectors provide a convenient way to extend a wired connection from your router to your TalkTalk TV Box and TalkTalk TV Plus Box, without the need for long cabling around your home. They are a great solution if your TalkTalk TV Box is far away from your router.

You get two Network Connectors in a pack. Simply plug them in and connect one to your router and the other to your TalkTalk TV Box using the Ethernet cables provided. 

Our connectors can be used straight out of the box.
