SH2 and Ethernet sockets

[starship]

I have four connections for ethernet cables, one taken up by the supply from the openreach modem. leaves me with three, which are connected to various other accessories, am i able to use one using a double adapter / splitter, running two from one,  are they available and would it drain connection ?

Thanks.

No, you can't use a double adaptor you woukd need gigabit ethernet switch. This will give you additional ethernet outlets. Have a quick search on line. Various capacity ones available. Maybe a 5 port is all you need. You woukd then have 4 available ethernet connections, the 5th would plug into the spare port on the Hub.

If you have a BT TV subscription then the TP-Link range like a TL-SG105/8 would be a good option as they handle well the multi-cast transmission streams that the likes of BT Sport use whereas others might not and that can cause problems for your other attached devices.
