You could try both 2-way and 3-way splitters and see what works better. The technicians at the home office should be able to tell you what your signal strength is at your modem. I don't know if putting a terminator on an unused splitter changes anything. On my system, I use the one 7.0db output and run that to a distribution amplifier/splitter for the TV's. The second 7.0db output is unused and unterminated. Signal strength at the modem is adequate, according to tech support. Keep in mind that nothing will be as good as a single dedicated line going to the modem as you did when you put the barrel connector in place of the splitter. There's always some compromise.
