A splitter component may be used by itself or with one or more ancillary devices to provide client devices local IP access (LIPA) using local area network (LAN) addresses, while contemporaneously providing quality of service (QoS) functionality to the access terminal for data communicated via a modem, contemporaneously with providing the LIPA. The splitter device may assign a higher priority to traffic of a type having QoS functionality. The QoS functionality may include any combination of a latency requirement, a signal quality requirement, or a signal strength requirement. Providing the one or more devices LIPA using one or more LAN addresses may include assigning each of the client devices an IP address and implementing a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) relay on an associated router, or other LIPA functions.
