Internet splitting question?

I have an ethernet cable coming into a room and need to split it into two devices. What type of splitter do you recommend as being the best?

You need what is called a Router, you cant just physically split the cable.

I have a router and it is splitting it into all my rooms. I only had one cable left from it and need to split it between two devices. I am finding out a switch or a hub will work for this after talking to others.

use another router. look for one that supports uplink and run a crossover cable from the free cable to the WAN port on the new router

Instead of using a router, you can get a switch or a hub.

i recommend a switch, that is what i do in my room. I use a switch and then i have a wireless link as well for my laptop :)
