Not sure I understand what they're trying to do, exactly. You can run two IP networks on the same wire, but that's only if they're on two separate networks. In your case, 192.168.1.2 is guaranteed to be on the same network as 192.168.1.1, so they're not actually using a different network. Maybe you mean 192.168.2.1?
I'm not sure what you mean by a splitter. Do you mean they actually want to split the CAT5 cable to add in an extra drop? If so, I would strongly recommend against that. You'd be much better off buying a small switch for $50 or so, and adding a patch cable.
As for adding bandwidth, I can't see any way it would ADD bandwidth to your network.

Hi all,.
I have a private network with 192.168.1.1 as the gateway.
We are looking at a new program that is wireless and the vendor wants their network separate from ours, but they want to use a splitter to be able to share the same cat5 drop. They are using 192.168.1.2 as their gateway.
We will have a computer for our network and another computer for their network.
Can anyone tell me if this will work and if it will increase the bandwidth on our network. Thanks in advance for any help,
