Second internet modem

12 years ago

Hi - I'm new here but haven't found what I'm looking for in the archives; I may not understand the problem well enough to search effectively.

I have FiOS and a modem that Verizon lets me use (rents?) in my house but my husband wants to work in the garage behind the house. It's far enough away that the signal is very weak. Our electrician said he could split the internet cable which would allow me to just plug in another modem.

Does this sound right? Is it really like just plugging in a second phone along the same wire?

If it's this easy, but I need to buy a second modem, can anyone please recommend one? Cheap, hopefully. And maybe if there are any issues I should know when looking for one that would be great.

Thanks very much for any help you can offer. This is fuzzy enough that I know I'm not really asking the right questions.
