Splitter for TV and Intenet

RoverFan · 08-05-2009, 05:14 PM

We're moving our modem router from our bedroom to the office, but I have a TV connected already in the office. Wanted to know if I can use a splitter to connect the TV and modem router. Would it affect performance? We have the lower speed internet service.

You should be fine, but just to be sure, take 5 minutes and call Cox customer support and tell them what you're trying to do. I'm 99% sure you'll be fine though.

Make sure the splitter you get is made to pass bi-directional traffic and covers the frequencies involved (meaning its not limited to below 1000 Mhz).

He'll also need to make sure to get a splitter intended for use with cable TV right? 2Mhz bandwidth?

Right

Wanted to report back. Bought a 2ghz splitter from Radioshack for $5.99 and it worked great. Thanks for you help.

Have another question, can I split one connection into two just like I did, except have two set top boxes on those connections for two different TVs in the same room?
