both the H2 box and the router need a VM cable going to them, which is why you need a proper splitter.had virgin broadband & tv but have now cancelled the tv, can i use this cable tv point via a coax converter to connect to an H2 box or do i have to split cable at the router as someone has told me seems odd as its split in the box outside anyway
regards
I have two cables coming in one for tv in living room and one for broadband upstairs cant get my head around why i cant use the tv cable as its the same cable split outside in the virgin boxboth the H2 box and the router need a VM cable going to them, which is why you need a proper splitter.
if you have a Screwfix nearby, you can get a Labgear splitter, don't use a cheap nasty noname splitter as they are garbage.
whys it split in the box outside?
do you have vm cables going upstairs? - if so, you can split it here, one to the box and the other to the router

Lan cable is that the same as an Ethernet cable sorry to sound thick but im only just getting into this stuffyou can use that cable, you just need an f connector (B&Q £1.50)
the box needs connecting to the router via a LAN cable
