I have done it your way with no problems.
The technician who relocated my modem when I moved even said it should be
OK.
He also said that my signal was too strong and put a choke on it, which
should be removed if I switched to a splitter.
Keep in mind though, that you need to have a splitter that will handle the
signal speed.
Mine says 5-1000 MHz 3.5 db.

Hope this helps.

The question is whether or not this is advisable. My cable company has
said not to do it, and that I risk weakening the cable modem signal so
it may not be able to lock on properly. On the other hand, I have other
friends (different cable providers, though) who have done this without
apparent harm.
