How do I split or distribute the ethernet output from my cable modem?
I want to hardwire an internet radio and the modem has only one ethernet output which provides internet to my PC. Can I split or run the ethernet into a hub or distributor?
You certainly can, but you’ll need a ROUTER not a hub or switch. The router will translate the data from your cable modem so that it can be used with 2 or more devices.
yes plug it into a router
generally speaking, you should connect the modem to a router, and then connect your pc and any other IP-enabled device to the router.
ger a router
Normally a Router is used.
Cable Modem to WAN port on Router and then you can use the LAN ports for any other computers you wish to connect.
