Splitter -3dB and -7dB

currently my netgear knighthawk is connected directly to the -3dB end of the splitter, and there is no packet loss, it works perfect. I do have another splitter laying around my desk which has a -7dB output, what is the difference?, which one is better to use?, which one SHOULD I be using?

Thanks

The 7 dB splitter has twice as much signal / insertion loss than the 3.5 dB splitter does. Generally. The less loss, the better the connection to the Comcast system will be. Use the 3.5 dB one.
