Sounds like you need a cable outlet installed in that room. Or you need to use a splitter and bring the line in from the other room. As for if it will change your speeds, it depends on how much signal is going through the wire now. Putting a splitter will half it. So if half your signal is still enough for internet, you shouldn't notice a different.

Simple answer:
Disconnect incoming cable from modem/router. Connect it to 1GHz 1->2 splitter input. Connect one output of splitter to modem/router. Connect second output of splitter to cable box. No, it should have no effect on your HSI speed.
