Will internet speed slow down after a fiber splitter splits the light
The direct answer to whether this action reduces internet speed is yes, it typically does. One of the most significant factors is the number of devices connected through the splitter. Beyond just speed, splitters can introduce signal loss, a key factor in understanding how they affect internet connectivity. When I try speed test with this setup, I get ~30 Mbps download speeds: [ ]---router---PC [ ]---MoCA device / empty In the above setup, the MoCA device paired at another coax port also got same speeds. But if you care about fast file transfers, gaming, or streaming, it can definitely hold you back.

Windows 10 connected to a switch cannot access the internet
The main guidance steps ask the poster to first rule out cable/port/router issues, then verify whether the adapter is getting a proper IP gateway (not an APIPA/169. x address), and finally reset the network stack (release/renew IP, flush DNS, and reset Winsock/TCP/IP) . I've got an issue with connecting my Windows 10 desktop PC to my router via a switch. When I couple the cables that lead to the router and the switch at the network box directly, I get no issues and the connection is stable. The thread is about fixing Windows 10/11 Ethernet connections showing "Unidentified network" and no internet, with the proposed cause typically being DHCP/IP or DNS failures despite the link being up. Also Perform Network Reset in Settings - Network and Internet - Status - Scroll down and click On Network Reset then Restart the computer.

Stop approving the construction of IDC Internet Data Center data centers
Organizations in all 50 states want lawmakers to support a national moratorium that would halt the approval and construction of new data centers until "adequate regulations" for the burgeoning industry are in place. Data centers, which house computer systems that help train AI models, are blanketing the country, a boom fueled by surging interest in AI and state tax breaks. More than 4,000 are already in operation, mostly in Virginia, Texas, and California, and 3,000 more are being planned or under. Lawmakers in at least 11 states—Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin—have introduced legislation this session that would temporarily ban data centers, according to Good Jobs First, a watchdog group that focuses. President Donald Trump's executive order, "Accelerating Federal Permitting of Data Center Infrastructure," underscores the federal government's recognition that securing US technological supremacy is a national priority.
