Ok serious question I just picked up this Ethernet splitter and I was hoping to split pre router in an effort to bypass the router and bump speeds slightly. Is that actually going to work or am I just dreaming?
Amazon link: https://a.co/d/21ev6zA
Your router uses NAT (network address translation) to share a single IP, allocated to your internet connection, among many clients, such as your gaming PC.
So what you are attempting is not going to work.
Those Ethernet splitters also don't let you pass the input signal to more than one output at a time - you couldn't have the router and the PC on at the same time.
Yup, need a switch if you want to have multiple outputs
Or another router to act as a switch
No. Tis won't work. What you are looking for is a network switch. https://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Splitter-Optimization-Unmanaged-TL-SG105/dp/B00A128S24
However, what do you mean by "bump speeds by bypassing router"? If you see any improvement what so ever it will be only on your local network, there is no way to gain internet speeds like that
I don't really know! I was thinking one less device to go through, but now I realize that's silly
You will end up at an edge router at some point. As I said, this might make your LAN transfers faster if your router has a really crappy CPU
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
