Does something like a 1 to 2 Ethernet cable sort of device exists ? Searched earlier on Amazon but it’s never clear what their product is used for

No, the only things you’ll find is a toggle to switch between the two. It’s not possible to split the connection.
You can buy a little 4 port switch like this. Plug ethernet from the router into this and then both computers can take a port from this.
Note: The speed will be split between both computers based on usage. If they’re both downloading something, it’ll split it evenly. If one computer is idling, the other could have full speed.
It’s a switch. Older, now obsolete versions were called hubs.
This is like asking baseball players if something exists to hit a baseball.
Sigh Go to Amazon and buy a passive splitter. Dont buy a switch, switches are too mainstream. Always use HUBs. Everything on one Collision domain is the only way forward. Who needs to use everything all at once anyway. plus you will only need a single IP.
I don’t think they sell hubs anymore. A non managed gigabit switch is cheap.

Yes they’re called splitters or cable economisers and are used in pairs at either end of the structured cabling
That’s the physical thing he’s drawn, but it doesn’t provide the functionality he wants.
A switch ?

Look for a small switch. I think…
Yes, it’s called a switch.
Non-Nintendo switch
Yes, but then you only have 2 pairs, thus only 100 Mbps.
It would be a switch
Try a network switch
Why not just get a 4 way switch? Theyre about $10.
A splitter? Not really and not recommended when you can buy a GB switch for maybe $20
