Replace the splitter. Splitters go bad. I just replace them to be safe if having any issues.

Mainly a desktop is direct wired. Thank you.

I’m going to install one but it’ll be physically off unless I’m not home. It’s only for vacation and trips away. I do mean physically unplugged.

It’s not about what you have to hide. I do not want to watch myself. Not when I’m making Dino noises making espresso. Not when I do something strange like trip over my own feet. Nope hard pass.
