Moving A Vm Router

[sweeneyuk]

Hello,

I need to move the router on my parents network.

They have the brown drop box with a 2way splitter on the outside.

1. cable runs all the way around to the back to feed the router.
2. Pokes through wall into isolator on inside where it feeds the TiVo box.

I need to move the router to tv location which is right next to the isolator (inside) and the drop box immediately the other side of the wall (outside).

Rather than drill another hole then feed through the cable to the router I just moved the splitter to the inside before feeding it to the TiVo via the isolator and the other outlet to the modem.
Also thought it would be better than adding another splitter inside which would be a 2nd splitter when I only need the 1.

All works fine but don't want to be caught out by VM.

I have used VM ppc compression connectors but because the isolator box was immediately inside I have had to remove the cover, the splitter and isolator are now loose on the floor behind the TiVo & TV which obviously looks bad and exposes I have tampered with it.

I have a few questions if you'd be so kind.

1. Does the splitter have to stay in the brown drop box outside?
2. Does the isolator only protect the TiVo?
3. The splitter has 4db & 3.6db, what is best for TiVo/ modem?
4. The modem cable has white shrink wrap cover over some connections, what is that about?
5. The modem cable has a chunky black f connector, much bigger than the PPC rg6 compression connectors, should I use these on The TiVo cable too? If yes what are they called?
6. What do you recommend I do with this set up?

If you do answer these it will be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Sweeney
