my cable modem and wireless router are next to my desktop pc, my broadband goes into my modem, then to my router, then to my desktop to give it a wired connection. i am getting only 2mg download speeds on my wired desktop, and the same wirelessly on my laptop. so my question is could i use a rj45 splitter between the modem and the router and take one lead to the desktop and the other lead to the wireless router. does anyone think that would speed up my desktop?
