I'm completely unaware of house phones; I didn't realize they existed. I've never had my own phone and always relied on what my parents used back then. I'll look into Best Buy now. My main concern is whether a different coax connection in my room would affect switching the modem compared to the one upstairs.

You'd need to check with the person who installed the coaxial cable. If it matches the same setup as the living room, it should work. Otherwise, you'll have to test it yourself.

Check if the Coax link functions, then proceed with this setup. Place the primary base in your living area and the extra base upstairs. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/vtech-cs511...Id=5180811

Well, cordless phones have existed for a long time. I'm 30 and used one as a kid, which solves part of the problem. The other challenge is relocating the modem. For the best signal, Comcast usually places a two-way splitter on the main line—one side for TV and another for internet. If you have multiple TVs, a separate splitter is needed for the TV side. Modems need a specific signal quality, and too many splitters can push it outside that range. What I'm saying is, if your room has too many splitters between the coax and the main line, you'll face issues.
