ok this is a stupid question but i really cant find the answer... i was wondering if there is such thing as an ethernet cord splitter... just a simple thing that makes one ethernet plug turn into 2 thats it no extra things but i have a direct connection out of the wall for ethernet and i have a modem plugged in but in order to get the TV to work i need another ethernet cable so i was just wondering if that is a real thing or if im screwed

Not that i have seen, but you can just get a regular router for 10$.
 
its not the router thats a problem its the fact of i dont have enough ethernet ports coming out of the wall to connect both
 
yes, you could do that, if the TV is ok with beign wireless, im not sure if it would work like that, try it, i think what motoxrdude was saying is that you can buy say a 4-port router, plug your one cable into and and hey presto, you have 4 ethernet ports out of the router.

And you may be confused modems and routers are not the same thing.
