Yes indeed - but I was referring to the TP Link weblink which had both active injector and active splitter for sale, I could have made it clearer.

Wow!
Well done for getting there - eventually - and presumably learning a few things along the way ...
Nice job! I wish more people would look to do things themselves and learn something new. Forums like this enable those of us that feel this way to be successful.
