    Ethernet Help

    My friend and I just moved into an apartment for college and were both looking into setting up our pcs with ethernet. (Sorry if this upcoming part is unclear/confusing) I believe we have some type of fiber line/internet. We have a Nokia modem that has the 10g Lan port light up. We then have an Eero router plugged into the 10g lan port. The issue is, there is only one ethernet port after the router and modem connection. What would be the possibilities for somehow both of us getting internet through ethernet? Is there a cheaper option that would allow us both to get ethernet without slowing the speed down significantly?

    Another side question I have is regarding the Eero router. When I tested my ethernet through the modem 10g Lan port it was 300 Mbps down and 275 Mbps up. However, when plugged into the router the down was the same but the up was around 115 Mbps. Why would the router make the upload speed slower?

    I could be misunderstanding the networking so any tips/help or knowledge would be helpful. Thanks

    what specific make and model for the
    Modem
    Router

    Who supplied the router and modem?

    You could also look into Powerline adapters.

    You can also get an inexpensive switch.
