The well known rule of thumb is to get a good quality two-way splitter (-3.5 dB per channel), and install it where the cable comes into the house. Run all the TVs off one side, using additional splitters downstream as required, and install the cable modem on the other side. Then plug the router into the modem and off you go! The length of the cable is less important.

Some people do not see signal problems using multiple splitters but when there are signal problems, this is one of the most common reasons.
