Computer Networking - July 2007

I recently bought a portable air conditioner for my room and after I plugged it into my wall I noticed that my cable modem doesn't work anymore. After trying to figure out why it stopped working I came to realize that my problem was a power management problem. I found out that when I have my portable a/c running my cable modem doesnt work but when the a/c isnt running the modem works. The problem is that I cannot connect my modem to another power outlet since it is too far away in the room so it won't reach my computer. My question is that is there something I can use or do to support both power supplies my portable a/c as well as my cable modem and have them both working at the same time???

My house's current setup uses one cable connection for all the TV's and the one modem we have. Everything works fine. In one room, there's a wall outlet that is split off towards the modem and one of the TV's. Another outlet is in another room, with just a TV connected.

I was planning on adding another cable modem to the room with just the one TV connected using a splitter, much like connection used in the first room. I'm using Cox cable for my service provider. I'm not sure if it will work, and if so, if the quality of the connections will be the same/similar.

The reason for the second cable modem is to try and give the one room in the house wired Internet, over the current wireless Internet I have, so please don't suggest getting a wireless router.

Thank you in advance.

Ever since we upgraded from BT 2mbs to BT Total Broadband 8mbs, when interleaving was enabled, the internet has been slow, laggy and prone to disconnection.
