Not sure if this is the right forum or not but here goes.
I want to move my modem up a floor in my house so that I can go back to a wired connection.
The only cable jack on this floor however is where my nice tv is at. So, can I split this cable jack and have 1 run to the modem and 1 to the cable box? Will it weaken the signal? If so will it be negligible? Do I need a specific type of splitter to try to minimize the signal loss?
I remember a long time ago a friend of mine doing this and I think I still have that actual splitter, so I may already have my solution, but I don't know anything about cable signals and all that jazz so figured I should ask the pros before I hose my tv cable and/or internet connections.
Thanks folks, preciate it.
