Without knowing anything about the individual problem, there is no way to know if the amplifier will help or hurt a problem.
Amplifiers make both signal and noise louder. Generally you are looking for the ratio of signal to noise to get better.
Eliminating extra splits helps quite a bit. So does keeping most of the signal going to the modem. Sometimes you want to use a "tap" or an "unbalanced split" instead of a "balanced split".
