Dear Listers,
I recently hooked up my new iBook to high speed Internet cable via a
new cable splitter. The TV and DVD player is also on the cable
splitter. it worked find for 4 days. Then when I booted up, today, on
my laptop, there was no response from the modem and I could not get
online.
I called tech support at the cable co. and determined that the cable
modem worked fine, when it was the only thing hooked up to the cable
outlet (the TV and VCR/DVD player not hooked up). Tech support told me
that splitters wear out or burn out or something. He said I should pay
$30 and order another cable outlet to be installed in the wall for the
computer. Then I can use the old cable outlet for the TV and DVD player.
His other suggestion was to get a good cable splitter from the main
cable office and see if it lasts longer than the one I bought at
Walmart.
Has anyone had of such a problem? What kind of work-around worked for
you? I'd rather not order another cable outlet, if possible. I'd like
the TV, laptop, and DVD/VCR to all work off one cable outlet with a
splitter.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jocelyn
