Not all splitters are the same. This is the one to buy.

I've built and rebuilt MANY setups over the past decade and have come to the conclusion that not all splitters are created equal; Many use non-standard designs and non-standard components, and losses often exceed the 3.01 dB + insertion loss that physics dictates when splitting a signal in two in poorly designed splitters. Many of them are also non-linear over the specified frequency range, meaning some frequencies spread better than others. at least up to 1.6 GHz. In my experience, this splitter does a great job of separating signals, and the insertion loss is lower than some other splitters I've used. Most splitters specify a loss of 3.5 dB; However, in my experience, many of them lose up to 0.5dB more than they advertise. This splitter also works great with MoCA, with enough bandwidth for your network. If you continue to have problems after replacing your splitter, carefully inspect the ends of your coax cables. Avoid using slewing rings; Instead, use quality compression fittings and use a 7/16" wrench to make sure they are tight. Very often problems are caused by bad connectors and the problem seems to be related to the splitter just because the connectors are attached to it.
