what device would I use to run internet from a modem with one ethernet port. I think I need a managed one, currently I have it run to my wifi router, and then it goes to 2 8-port unmanaged splitters(seem to be having issues). So what should I use to split the networking from the modem? (will have up to 3 instances of streaming at a time, most of the time on the ethernet network)

You wouldn't split the connection from your modem, it wouldn't work. The router performs some critical functions, so you'd need to split after the router. 

 

What you'd need is a switch. Pretty much any Gigabit unmanaged switch will do you fine.

Unless you have purchased multiple IP addresses from your ISP, this wont work.

 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
