Hey, I use an RF cable to connect my internet at the main router in the living room. That router supports 5GHz Wi-Fi with a speed of 200Mbps and 5 uploads. It also has a TV. My smaller room router uses the same setup but only provides 100MB on good days (50MB on bad days) and runs on 2.4GHz. I tried linking my smaller router to the main router via its LAN port, but it didn’t work at all—no new Wi-Fi appeared, and browsing was extremely slow or impossible.

I suspect the issue might be with my personal modem being unstable, even though the big one is solid. The smaller routers seem to drop out frequently. If you have a router that works well with RF cables and gives stable 5GHz internet, let me know and I can help connect you.

It refers to a coaxial cable setup that brings internet from your ISP into your home and connects to a router or box. This box includes built-in WiFi. You might be wondering why it doesn’t use the 5GHz wireless radio from the ISP device, and you seem to think it’s also functioning as a TV—though I’m not sure what that means in this context. Additionally, you mentioned a double-NAT setup, which can be confusing.

the router functions as a television, though i’m unsure how it operates in different countries. the modem offers channels such as Disney and news, among others. yes, i mean a coaxial cable is used. all devices have wifi built-in, but only the primary one supports 5GHz while the rest only has 2.4GHz. i’m unable to access 5GHz from my ISP because they don’t provide it; only the main router does, and the others are limited. i live in an older neighborhood where I have no alternative internet provider.
