You sure you can't just set your router to use WPA instead of WPA-2?
It'd be way easier than going through all that, and I don't think anyone will take the time to hack your Wi-Fi.

WPA is still pretty secure so just use that, make sure you use WPA-AES not PSK though.

I think all it has is wep or wpa-psk I need to check again but im almost sure

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

Yeah, just follow those steps. The gigabit thing was just a heads-up should you ever try to get gigabit ethernet working over a connection with a splitter like that.

|
So to be sure, this will work? so I can plug on ethernet cable into my router and other end my moms pc and printer can plug into the other side and both work?

You'd have to adjust the instructions a bit because I doubt you have a professionally installed ethernet system. Basically, you'd need to wire the thing in reverse. Instead of two keystone jacks per splitter, you'd either need two ethernet cables going into one keystone jack (which would be good on the router-side), or three keystone jacks (two of them wired into one of them, the one of them being the one connected to your existing ethernet cable, the other two having new cables plugged into the two devices.)

and if it works for having my printer and mom pc using one 50 foot cable to my router im set

Not everything is as it appears

Maybe I missed something but why don't you just hook up the printer to your mom's PC and then share it?
