There is no need to have 2 modems. When I had Spectrum they were also charging xx a month to 'rent' their modem. I bought my own and took theirs back, you just need to tell them that you bought your own and they have a listing on their website of what modems they will support. You could also then get rid of a splitter.
The hookup should be: Cable from wall to modem, Ethernet cable from modem to router, then plug all your other stuff into the router. If you have more things to plug into the router than there are connections then consider getting a switch
That is now the way things are wired. Only thing wired to router is the DVR. I changed my wireless connection for my lap top to hard wired, ran a speed test and got in the 68 mbps or so speed on my lap top but that does not increase the speed to my other wireless connections.
My speed test this morning is 3.1 mbps. At that speed 2 cameras have dropped off line.
Editing this post because with the incoming feed hardwired directly and bypassing the Spectrum modem I have lost phone signal. I am now back incoming signal with splitter going to both my modem AND Spectrums modem
