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

Joking aside

Us an unmanaged switch like net gear or tplink.

A splitter does exist. The way it works is that Ethernet cables have 8 individual wires in them. A minimum of 4 are required for basic connectivity. You can use a splitter to go to 2 computers but would not be able to transfer power (PoE) and you would be limited to 100mb throughout, as opposed to gig.

It’s called a Hub or a Switch (yes they are different). You want a switch!

You'll want an unmanaged switch.

Ethernet from router or modem goes in one spot, then 2 ethernet into the PCs.
