TFC-T10 cable compatible with RG6 connectors
I recently got Verizon internet set up at my residence, but the performance is quite poor. The router is located in the basement, causing devices throughout the house to experience speeds about ten times slower than the service level. There’s no 5GHz availability. I found out Verizon was using an RG6 cable to connect to the router, and I’m curious if it resembles a TFC-T10 cable already installed at home. If the maximum speeds are similar to those of an RG6 connection, could I merge them and install an Ethernet link from my bedroom to my computer for better performance? What are the potential speeds of a TFC-T10 cable? Are they comparable to gigabit rates? Can I connect the Verizon RG6 cable to the existing TFC-T10 cables in my home?
Consider using a coupler for connecting the coax cable to your bedroom. Place the router there and run Ethernet from that location. Connect the basement unit to the bedroom unit with an F-type coupler, then relocate the router. (Those who insist on "RG-59 to RG-6" won't be concerned—the setup will function.)
You can relocate the router as long as you keep the coax at the new spot. Use a barrel connector to link the existing coax from the ONT to the line going to your new room. I think I might have RG59 coming in from outside to my basement, and a fresh RG6 run from there up to the attic. Likely more RG59 will go from the attic to your room. This cable is for internet and it functions properly.
I would check if they are connecting the Coax from the ONT. It looks strange they use Coax unless you have a TV. Typically newer ONTs provide Ethernet cables from the ONT with Coax feeding the TV units. If Coax is present, you can relocate your router using Coax as long as it remains connected to the ONT.
