I understand it's just a simple splitter so you can't have two active internet connections. I was hoping to plug the splitter into an outlet and plug two Cat-5 cables into the jack. One cable is for watching Nextflix in bed and the other for doing homework at the desk. I only had one laptop, but I was hoping to plug a cable or two into the port. Notebook. The problem was that with 2 cables in the splitter the connection would be interrupted. You had to physically remove one cable from the splitter to use the other. This completely defeats the purpose of 2 shards. I could also just swap the cables, if necessary, to my wall outlet.
