Broad Band Connection Sharing- Suggestion please?

[Emperor]

Hello Friends,

I'm on 2Mbps up to 10gb plan with MTNL. Getting good download speed up to 1.75Mbps.

Have 2nd system & Nephew wanted to use it for surfing/mailing some time.

Is it good idea to buy RJ45 Splitter (Y type like this or this but from local market) & connect one RJ45 cable to my system & other approx 10meter long RJ45 cable to connect 2nd system.

Is it possible to share connection in such way?

Does both system will get good speed if accessing Connection same time?

Any other good suggestion to sharing connection?

2nd system placed in another room with approx 10mts. distance between both system.

I'm looking for cheap & good solution.

Waiting for reply,

Thanks

^ no it wont work for sharing internet. Its mentioned clearly in the reviews that you cant share internet using the splitter.

If you want to use a single Ethernet connection for two devices, these splitters won't work; you need a router that shares the connection among the devices.

Ethernet only uses pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, leaving 4, 5, 7, and 8 unused. This device connects pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 on the male to 1, 2, 3, and 6 on one of the femals jacks, and pins 4, 5,7, and 8 of the male go to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 of the OTHER female, giving you two separate paths of pins 1, 2, 3 and 6.
The idea is that if you need two PCs where you only have one jack in the wall, you plug one of these into the jack, and another one into the patch panel, and it allows you to hook two PCs to two separate switch ports. You will STILL need 2 separate switch ports to connect your two PCs, and you will ALWAYS need these splitters in pairs because you'll need to have one on each end of your 4-pair house cable.

Like mentioned in the quote, you need a router to share internet.

The way this thing operates, you need two of these spliiters on one line for them to work. It would be useless to share one line, since you will need two ports on the modem side. It wont work if you try to split the line directly from the modem port.

Hi 6pack,

with Sterlite Modem provided by MTNL there is 4- RJ45 sockets available, what is the use of those EXTRA RJ45 sockets? can't we use them for connection sharing? Check following image.

Thanks for reply

Yes, you can do that. Use the extra LAN ports to connect multiple PCs. to do this, just switch to PPPoE connection(bb username/pass saved inside the router itself) instead of bridge/dial-up(if not done already). Then, just plug the LAN cables in any of the free LAN ports on your router & it will work

Gaurish,

Can't I share connection between 2 pcs using Y Splitter (RJ45 Splitter)?

the modem already has provision for extra computers to be attached to it. you only need an extra long cable for the second pc. lan connectivity is good upto 60-80 feet in practice.
i really dont understand the need for a y splitter here. why do you want a splitter in between? and the splitter is wired internally in such a way that you need two of those for it to work correctly.
hope this diagram helps you to understand how the splitter works and wh its useless in your usage scenario.

i had already quoted in my first post itself. quoting it here again in parts.

Ethernet only uses pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, leaving 4, 5, 7, and 8 unused.

These ports 4,5,7,8 are unused in modem too.

This device connects pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 on the male to 1, 2, 3, and 6 on one of the female jacks, and pins 4, 5,7, and 8 of the male go to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 of the OTHER female, giving you two separate paths of pins 1, 2, 3 and 6.

This y splitter uses one pair of the unused cables to make a new lan port internally.

The idea is that if you need two PCs where you only have one jack in the wall, you plug one of these into the jack, and another one into the patch panel, and it allows you to hook two PCs to two separate switch ports. You will STILL need 2 separate switch ports to connect your two PCs, and you will ALWAYS need these splitters in pairs because you'll need to have one on each end of your 4-pair house cable.

Got it? if you split one end of the wires into two, the other end of the wire needs to be split up similarly for it to work. you cant use only one splitter and think it will work. you require two outputs, so you need two separate ports on either end of the cable for it to work.
your modem has already given you 4 ports, then why to use this needless stuff.

6pack,

FINALLY got it.

Thanks
