Hi, I live in ontario canada and currently on 500mb download and 20mb upload. I am just wondering if I am able to get a splitter that gives both of my pcs max speed. If so, any recommendations. Another thing I always wanna ask: if I stream at 4000 bitrates, how much upload bandwidth am I expecting to use?(in mb)

Yes, simply connect both devices to the router.

You can't just divide Ethernet that way. You'll need a switch or two from the router.

I just connected an ethernet cable from the router to my room and it worked well. I was wondering if using a splitter would help divide the signal, but I’m not sure how it functions. If it’s similar to HDMI or USB splitters, I’d like to buy one on Amazon now.

Yes, it controls a single traffic stream at any given moment.

It functions similarly to a USB hub but for Ethernet.

You have multiple choices available. You can connect wirelessly, use a switch to link your two computers, or run a cable between them with each device connected to the modem. It seems your modem only provides a single Ethernet port.

A hub functions similarly, while a switch enables several devices to transmit and receive simultaneously.

With a 500MB buffer and a 5-port hub, each port will handle up to 100MB regardless of usage.

You're looking at 500MB used with one device, leaving 495MB for another. With a 100Mbps connection, each device would get 100MB, but a 1Gbps switch costs about $2 extra—better to upgrade if possible.
