I am planning on adding a cable TV and cable modem amplifier and as I see it I have two options.
The cable feed length inside the house is a total of 65 feet with a connector 25 feet in. I have a 3-way splitter at the 65 foot point and my signal is rather weak at the modem that comes off the spitter -18 dbm. My options are to install a one port bidirectional (active return) at the 25 foot connector and keep the splitter at the 65 ft or to install a four port bidirectional/active return amp at the 65 foot point replacing the splitter. Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.
