Re: mr60,

Not a splitter. A switch. 

A simple 5-8 port gigabit switch can be purchased pretty cheaply.

Re: mr60,

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
