    Default 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?

    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.
