Hi, I have been using this site a lot and thought its time to post, plus I have a much needed question to be answered!

Here we go, I have a cable downstairs that’s split, one runs to my eurovox and ones runs out the windows upstairs to the room above which is connected to my modem. I have several flashed modems and wanted to connect two up.

I found a splitter given to me from NTL a long time ago. The splitter had no information and was simply labeled TV and INTERNET and each side of the coax split. I figured this wouldn’t work and I was right, only the internet worked from the first port labeled internet. So I purchased a splitter which had the details “5 – 2450Mhz” labeled on it however this didn’t work at all.

The questions are; do I need a particular splitter? Should the splitter/s I have work? Would it possibly be a problem with the signal (need boosting)?

Thanks for any help,
Benji
