Hello,
My freeplugs are producing a very unpleasant buzzing noise. I have to unplug the 12V power supply from the Freebox and the HD box every night to eliminate this noise. I would like to know if connecting an external 12V power supply and using only the ethernet cable from the freeplug would allow the setup to work properly and without noise.
I would also like to know if it is possible to use an ethernet splitter to connect the HD box and a PS3 on a single freeplug.
I have already asked my questions to the technical service of Free, who keep giving me the same response (thank you for the copy/paste): "Have you properly plugged in your freeplugs...". Yes, everything is properly connected, and the internet works very well. I hope to find someone here who has already tested the connections I am suggesting or at least someone who can clearly tell me whether or not I can do this.
Thank you in advance and have a nice day.
Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 7.0

I was thinking of an Ethernet splitter, like a Y cable.
An example here:

I would also like to know if it is possible to use an Ethernet splitter to connect the HD box and a PS3 console to a single freeplug.

It all depends on what you mean by an internet splitter...
A hub or a switch connected to the freeplug should work fine... -
No, this type of accessory should not be used. Hubs or switches are not very expensive and are made for that... theoretically, these splitters should not exist.
