My cable internet modem connection is very sporadic probably due to many splits. Will this benefit my cable modem connection?

It's not designed for data use, but some users report it does work for that. I have no personal knowledge. I have to wonder why there are so many splits in your coax and are they before or after your modem. Your problem may be low quality coax, you need quad shielded cable for data transfer.

I would get rid of all the splitters first. Make a single run to your modem from your drop to your house. Put the line amp before all the splitters but make sure you cable modem has a good grade RG6 coax.

I cannot help you...I use it only for my television...it might be worth a try, though. Only way to find out.

I would think it would. I was having slower speeds before I amplified due to many splits.

It's a matter of ruling out what's bad or just bad connection. That's happened to me before with a 3 way splitter. The splitter was bad. I had great picture with adding two 2 way splitters and an extra cable or two, go figure... Snowy is bad connection. Either your not screwed in tight enough or it's a bad cable or bad connector. This switch works superb for me. Crystal clear picture for me!

It might help using a high speed Ethernet cord, if you have one I would try seeing if there's som wrong with your router other than that I don't know because my router is up stairs.

If you are presently getting a weak signal, I think this would make a stronger signal. If presently no signal, I don't believe it would help. You also need to take into account if router you are trying to get signal from is near a window(which would help), or if there are trees etc, that would interfere with signal.

I agree with the others. Splitting the signal will reduce the strength but you can try the one to see. The product is definitely worth a try for the initial cost.

Yes most definitely! I also live in a two story house with my bedroom upstairs and modem downstairs, and i get full signal in my bedroom, so no issues there!

It really depends on the Internet speed you have at home plus the Internet speed where you are using it. We have 10 MB/s at home, and I have seen a few interruptions but nothing major. To us, it's well worth it

I could not get internet to work through this splitter. If you plug this into the router, and then your devices into this, most likely neither will connect to the internet. I would contact the manufacturer with this question before purchasing.

Yes it will. It is bi-directional so it has return to the headend of your cable company. But if your getting a real bad signal to begin with no. I would try the 123 first. Change out your coax make sure it's RG6. Try looking at the levels on your modem most cable modems you can view from 192.168.100.1 If you have low power levels and high S/N levels it will help you out but just remember it only boost what it receives noise in noise out. Try your coax make sure the F connectors or nice and tight and look down in them if you see green you have water that has made it in you coax. Hope this helps. Yes it will.

Yes from time to time I do have a problem losing the signal to the internet and I have to reset the modem.

I do not use the system that works through this modem for gaming and thusly can't provide a solid answer. However, this modem certainly does not seem to act as a bottle neck with respect to intermittent video downloads and general internet use.

it does split into 4 or 5 lines but i only tried into 2 lines.my source router was about 70 feet away.you may get a better signal if the ethernet cable comes directly from the modem.this caused my signal from one to be jittery and unstable when connected through the router.i would suggest that you try it and if it does not then amazon.com has a good return policy.

No. You can't merge Antenna & Cable Service line. It can short the Antenna and also damage the Modem. Thanks

Yes. Do note that if you're referring to internet speeds with 6 devices connected to it, it's wayyy more up to your internet service and possibly (but not likely) the modem provided to you from your ISP (internet service provider).

No, because it drops connections at the worst times, and has latency issues. When it works, it's reasonably fast. When it works that is.

it will improve if configured correctly. My modem and the repeater shared the same home web address so it was awkward to configure following directions but it seems to be working now that I added it to my trendnet wi-fi routers page.

I think you mean modem, or modem-router combination product. It's possible but not nearly as well. The cable provider is supposed to get an acceptable signal level to your premises then this booster should be put on the line at that point, before any further splits in the cable so that your signal to noise ratio stays high instead of just picking up the noise then amplifying it too. In other words this product is only meant for two specific situations, VERY long cable runs (&gt; hundreds of feet) or a high # of splitters on the line. If neither of these situations are present then you may just need the cable co to verify their signal strength is at an acceptable level and that your on-site cabling, connectors, and splitters are in good condition. Many used years ago were poor quality and some even pot metal casing ground that oxidizes and becomes a poor electrical connection, as well as bare copper conductor that oxidizes over time.
