    cable splitting

    i want to put my spare box up in the bedroom would it be better to put in a 3 way splitter instead of the 2 way thats in now and hope the signal is good enough or use a booster to split the line and then if the signal isnt good enough just turn the gain up

    try the two way first and if it isnt good enough then get the signal booster though the splitter should be fine m8

        if your splitting your signal three ways then its better to use a three way splitter in order to even the load also you may have to consider boosting your signal

              Does the type of splitter matter. One that I have seems designed to have teh cable modem on a specific port?
