I understand the setup is confusing with two different connectors. You’ll need to identify which plug matches your device’s requirements—coaxial for cable or TV input. Once you confirm the correct type, you can plug it in accordingly.

That's a solid inquiry. Check where your modem was before you relocated it—you had two coax connections. You might place the adapter between the wall and the modem since it uses the TV port, which needs dual connectivity for cable boxes.

The first adapter is placed near my modem, and the second one goes into my room. Do you need an additional coax cable for that? Just for my room.

The discussion recommends compatibility with the cable modem, noting that excessive splitting can degrade performance. Based on personal experience, it’s likely the adapter includes a two-way splitter that reduces signal strength by about 3.5dB or halves it. This reduction may impact the modem’s reception. Comcast typically allows only one two-way splitter between wiring points. If your connection quality is strong, you might still be able to split the signal safely. You can verify performance by checking your signal at 192.168.1.100 via a web browser and compare it with recommended standards. Keep in mind that signal strength can fluctuate significantly daily, so occasional drops may occur. If you don’t have a coaxial installation, this setup is unlikely to be effective. Most homes install coaxial cables in walls, connecting each room and the main area. Without proper cabling, the solution won’t work.

I have a coax plug by my PC. Do I really need a coax cable that runs from the filter to the plug in my room?
