My house is under renovations and we told them to wire ethernet cables from my rooom to each room in the house (so I could have a router in my room powering everyones internet). Unfortunetly instead of ethernet cables we ended up with just normal tv cables. Now we are stuck with 7 coaxial cable lines sticking into my room and no ethernet .
The construction guy says that he thought we wanted cable outlets because thats what his computer takes for internet. Apparently for his computer you just plug the cable staight into the computer or something. I have no idea where that came from because I have never seen a computer that has a cable plug (except some video cards but thats for tv) for internet. He says it will be easy to just stick a cable splitter into my room and then put the main cable line through the modem and then split it to the 7 other lines that go to each room but I can't see how thats going to work because is there really a cable to cable modem and wont having 7 lines to the same modem cause something bad to happen?
Have you guys ever heard of plugging the cable line directly into your computer before? Am I missing something here? Will a cable splitter make the internet speed suck?
Thanks
