What's up John; The splitter goes on the back of the cable/dsl modem. If you like I can send you a picture of my configuration off list. Its an ethernet splitter so it goes into that jack on the modem! currently I have two computers hooked up this way but more are possible with multiple splitters, I have tested this, as I have said before its still not wireless which is a major draw back, but the cost savings is great, however you don't get the security a router supplies!
