Also where would it get plumbed into the system, between the two NBN devices?
A central splitter will reduce emissions from the VDSL which is 106MHz vectored (212MHz for GFAST) and also stop induced interference to the service itself, bit more info here: https://support.netcommwireless.com/site...itters.pdf
(I am not associated with Netcomm, just previously supplied VDSL gear to telcos etc for last fifteen years).
The splitter was free for a few months, and where there multiple wiring points in the home, made significant difference to service speed/bandwidth experienced.

“That study found that a simple fix: moving the modem to the first socket, closing off unused phone outlets, installing a central splitter, or re-cabling poor wiring resulted in an average speed increase of 55 percent,” an NBN Co spokesperson said“
