I expect that ethernet is not like a phone line even though they look similar. I have just moved and went from DSL to cable.The cable router has only one ethernet plug, can I use a splitter to connect my computer directly in and also my WIFI router? The cable router provides 90 MB when directly connected to my computer but only 40 MB when I run the cable into the WIFI router. Not a big loss, I was used to 5-15 MB on DSL but hate to lose so much theoretical cable capacity.
So will the splitter work? Do I need to upgrade my WIFI router (old but functional Linksys WRT54GL) to use the full cable capacity? Or will there really not be significant difference between 40 MB & 90 MB? so its not really worth the effort to split/upgrade?
