No. The modem talks to your cable company. If you have two of them on the same cable (split or otherwise), they will stomp over each others' signals. Different houses are able to connect over the same cable because they use different frequencies.

Can I split my Internet connection to two modems?
Yes, it is possible to use two (or even more than two) routers on the same home network. The benefits of a two-router network include: Support for more wired devices: If the first router is the wired Ethernet kind, it supports a limited number of connected devices (typically only four or five).
Does splitting cable reduce internet speed?
If a cable splitter is installed correctly, it should not have an impact on cable modem speeds. If, for some reason, the speed of the internet did, in fact, slow down when the splitter was installed, there are ways to get another line running to your home. ...
Can you hook up 2 modems to one cable line?
Bridging. If you only have one Internet connection but two modems, you can connect the pair by putting one modem into bridge mode and physically connecting them through an Ethernet cable. ... However, many routers offer the same set of bridge features for a lower cost and often provide better bandwidth usage and speeds.
How do you split a modem connection?
Plug the router into the modem, then plug your powerline adapter into the router. The router acts as a splitter (switch), and a firewall protecting the devices on your LAN from direct exposure to the Internet. It also manages your LAN, assigning local IP addresses via DHCP, port forwarding where appropriate, etc.
Do I need a splitter for my modem?
If you want to connect just the modem you do not need any splitter or filter. Just plug it to the phone line. Splitters are used if you want to have 2 or more phone on the same POTS line. Filters are used to keep the frequencies used by ADSL out of the ones used by the phone.
Do splitters weaken signal?
Any time a TV signal is split, it will encounter insertion loss that will weaken the signals distributed beyond the splitter. If you experience signal issues while using a splitter, you may need to install a distribution amplifier or a preamplifier.
What's better 3.5 db or 7dB?
3.5dB loss is half, 7dB is half again. That's the absolute minimum loss possible when splitting a signal.
How many modems can you have in one house?
If you mean two straight cable modem or two combo modem / router gateway devices, Most systems no longer allow two modems to be used at one address.

Can a modem have multiple ethernet ports?
You can't find it because it doesn't exist. Having multiple ports to allow to all be "routed" through one modem, is going to involve a router. Splitting a cable modem isn't going to do anything because most ISP's don't allow you to have more than 1 external IP.
Are cable splitters illegal?
Nothing illegal about it, and your internet speed is unaffected. This also limits the ability of any snoops figuring out how many tv's are connected, since they can only measure the input impedance of the amplifier and cable modem combined.
Can I use a splitter on my router?
If your business gets cable TV and high-speed internet access from the same company using the same line, you can use a coaxial splitter to connect your internet router and one or more cable boxes to the internet. ...
