Using a 2-Way Splitter for Internet and Cable TV Connection

I want to relocate my WiFi router (Unify Dream Router 7) to a central location in the house, which happens to be where the cable connection comes in for the cable modem. Is it possible to use a two-way splitter at that connection point to use for both the modem and router.

If so, would I be losing performance on either the modem or router or both.

What would be the highest performing splitter to use.

Yea this is possible, and will not cause you issues, and if it does cause some “speed loss” this is to be expected.

It’s recommended to use a splitter of newer types that are rated for todays signals/thru-put so you don’t experience any real speed issues or “noise” on the lines.
