I played around with the cable on account of laaaaag.

Numbers indicate splitters, previous configuration:

  ..|- room
  ..|--------2- cable box
--5- room..|- cable modem
  ..|- room
  ..|- room

New configuration:
--2- cable modem...|- room
..|----------------5- cable box
...................|- room
...................|- room
...................|- room

This has fixed my slow internet issue, though one contributing factor may be the new position of the wireless router. Lessons learned:
  1. Splitters divide signal even if one connection is open (unlike regular circuits).
  2. Cable boxes have an upper bound to the amplitude of signal they can receive, in addition to the obvious lower bound. I discovered this after trying:
--2- cable modem
..|- cable box




Comments

We bought a Motorola signal booster.

Networks: How Do Computers Connect With Each Other? - Trendless Tech: mostly timeless computer facts

 A "network" is a bunch of computers put together. They're loosely connected, and computers can go off and on the network. Since all the computers can be replaced by new ones, a network is more an abstraction than any fixed structure. There is a vast body of network standards published and maintained through the IETF.
