There is ONE IP address available from your ISP to your home, so even if that splitter physically “shares” the electric signal, only ever your router OR whatever is on the other end of that splitter will get it and with it a working data connection to the ISP (and that’s assuming it even works). Further whichever gets ot os sorta random and it won’t really jump between one and the other at need - you’re sharing the physical line but not the actual data connection.
Frankly, if your router is somehow making the connection slower, get a better router as well as the correct ethernet cables for reaching higher speeds (i.e. gigabit ethernet won’t run on cheap Cat 5 cables).
It’s not slow by any means but I had to move my modem and router further away to reach all parts of my house better. So I was laying the Ethernet cable and as I was plugging it into the router I just thought maybe that would give it just that little tiny boost. But I just won’t do it now. Thanks for that
