So our house is a split level, and the internet cable is coming from the crawl space which is directly below a 1st floor living room, and right next to the basement living room. My modem/router is on the first floor, so I have wired Ethernet access there, but how could I also have wired Ethernet access in the basement, without running a 200 foot cat5 from my router into the crawl space and across it, under the crawl space door and stapled to the wall? Is there a way to split the source without demolishing the network speed?
