Installation is pretty straight forward, at the back of the splitter it has labels on the ports (1 for power, 1 for input and 2 for outputs)
Connect it like a normal splitter, only difference is you have it to a plug socket.
If you get stuck with installing, just let us know

Just does not make sense to be using an attenuator and then a booster ??
But sure if its working.......its working.
Sorry only just saw this message.
I disconnected the attenuator - I now only have the HDU connected.
And the HDU alone is working wonders.
No issues with channels and no interference on the H2H when I’m connected to WiFi on other devices.
Not sure about the technical side to it all but it seems to be working, so happy days!
Ok bought one of these out of curiosity, to see how it would work on my set up, screenshot_4 my levels before with a 6db attenuator fitted into the splitter.Virgin Media cable/signal booster CATV 2 way HDU 200 Sky Aerial Freeview Booster | eBay

Screenshot 9 is connected to the booster, no attenuator, just set up as recommended.
Screenshot 10 is with attenuator connected to the booster, just for results purposes.
So it seems to me that with the booster fitted my downstream has shot up massively, taking me over -6 to +10
Where i would have thought it would have dropped it down to nearer +1 +2 etc
Is that right ? or have i done something wrong.

I tried this one 1st pic
Currently using this one 2nd pic
And currently using this splitter
Using wf100 webro cable as main cable from outside to splitter and same cable from router to splitter, and a White cable from screwfix with a moulded plugs for connecting splitter to box.

I'd change that Labgear splitter - i've had issues with those 5-1000mhz ones but i've used the Labgear 5-2400mhz ones and they have been fine ... seems hit and miss but i'd deffo try a different splitter rather than that Labgear one. Also, what cables are you using on the splitter (the 2 outlets I mean).
Using webro cable which is supposed to be premium cable from splitter to modem and a cable from screwfix for the splitter to the zgemma. The only thing I have changed in the last few months is this see pic. My main cable from outside was attached to this and then a cable from that to my splitter via an attenuator.
