Coax cable
Only one cable connector in my apartment is active. So, today I went in and got a splitter to use for my tv and wifi modem. When I plug everything into the splitter, nothing works. However, when I plug them directly in (without the splitter) separately everything works perfectly. Would that just be a bad splitter?

Typically this would indicate either a bad splitters or not enough signal at the outlet to support adding a splitter. The modem seems to be online with great signal so without more to go on I suspect the splitter itself is the more likely possibility.

So, where could I get a splitter that works? I got the one that I have from the Cox Solutions Store here in Ark City.

how was the splitter hooked up? if it was correctly wired return the splitter and see if they can test it.

Splitters are very easy to find these days. Drug stores, big-box discount stores, electronic stores, hardware stores, and Cox Solution Stores all carry splitters. Cox recommends a coaxial 5-1000 MHz splitter with a signal loss of only 3.5dB on each output port. I hope this helps!
