I have a BT Router with the normal telephone cable going from the phone socket to the router, then I have a yellow thick cable going from the back of my pc to the router (not sure what this cable is know as??)

So I can plug in my laptop to my BT router I have to keep disconnecting the yellow cable. Is there a 2-way splitter which allow to cables to go in to a 2-way spliter then a cable from that (1 cable) to the router, thus allowing 2 cables into one??? I wont use both at the same time its just easier to plug and unplug. Thanks!!

p.s. what the name of the yellow cable????

The yellow cable is the ethernet cable.My BT Hub has outputs for two connections.Check yours to see if this is the case.It Took me a while to find the other outlet.

You don't say which router .... but most have 2 ethernet ports at least

...... the "splitter" you require is called a hub (or switch)
