Anyway to have one 40 foot cord be able to connect to different things?
I dont want to have to buy a second 40 foot cord to connect my printer if theres a way to have it be able to plug in both so on google i found this
http://www.instructables.com/id/E8JICT6K25EP287JWH/
look at step 6
Now imnot good at this but will that or anything work?
(I would do my printer wireless but only has wpa not wpa2 like I use)

The splitter that that guide is constructing only would work for 10/100 ethernet, not gigabit. It abuses the fact that 10/100 ethernet only uses 2 twisted pairs out of an available 4 pairs.

I dont think I need gigbit?
Witehr ways my router has wpa2 perosnal
while my printer has wpa-tkip or something like that
I want to be able to get my printer to hook up to my router with wpa2 but since no firewire update is out there im thinking since I have a 50 foot cable going to my router hooked up to my moms pc is there away to make it so it can split instead of buying a second 50 foot cable just for the printer
