Help finding something.
Hey guys.
I'm in need of an ethernet splitter (preferably a cheap one). Only thing is we have 3 people needing ethernet connection on the top floor and the splitters I can find only have two ethernet ports.
Basically I'm looking for one that can:
Connect to the cable I'm running up the wall from the modem
Connect my PC
Connect Housemate 1 PC
Connect Housemate 2 PC
Is this possible?

Would that work?

You can't have more than 2 computers on one splitter, splitters use up wire in the ethernet cable
that isn't usually used with one device to provide a second connection.
You'd be better off with a switch: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-Pros...5796717&sr=8-2
EDIT: Saw the above two posts. Yes it would work but I'd generally go for a more reliable brand such as Netgear or Linksys.

Hmm. I'm not really in to paying 25 quid plus cables though...

Better than paying 6 quid, it breaking really quick and then paying another 25 quid
