Does this work without a functioning network? I just spent the weekend debugging an issue on my router, which involved unplugging my router and setting it up in my room for the monitor, and then running a lengthy ethernet cable to the modem.
I'd much rather be able to attach something like this, have it spin up its own wifi or ethernet network (that understandably wouldn't have internet access) and then connect from my laptop. The other solution I was considering is a portable monitor (one of those hand-held tablet-sized ones) which absolutely would work without a network but the NanoKVM seems less wasteful in terms of future e-waste generated.
- cassianoleal 2y agoI imagine it would require a network, otherwise how do you connect to it? That said, it might work if you setup a wifi hotspot on your laptop and the KVM is configured to connect to it.
- craftkiller 2y agoIt could broadcast its own wifi network sans internet, or do the same over ethernet. Chromecast devices do this whenever the wifi network they're configuring to use disappears.
