I ran the upstairs leg back down to the main wiring point, put the 4-way splitter amplifier on it, kept the modem on the non-amplified leg, and we have Internet and TV simultaneously again. Yay! (Part of the leg going to the upstairs was on a splitter that had a coax cable ripped away, so who knows what that was doing to the signal.) Of course, I found a couple of ~ 1/2" gaps where the siding and trim has moved away from the house that will probably have to be fixed by some siding people, so there's that... :-/ Thanks! Cheers, Scott.

The ones that do not state that are likely to attenuate the upper reaches of the band and that is where the modem signal lives.

So, yeah, it doesn't help! :) Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.
