Hello! I just relocated and now have internet through Xfinity. The modem is in the living room, while my Xbox and 4K TV are connected via Ethernet directly into it. My PC is in another room, on the opposite side of the apartment, and uses WiFi, which tends to be unreliable. The incoming signal comes in through coaxial into the back of the modem, usually providing about 250 Mbps. In my room, I’m only getting around 6 Mbps. Could you possibly use the existing coaxial connections in the apartment to extend a hardwired connection into my bedroom? I’d really prefer not to run Ethernet cables all the way from the living room into my room. Thanks!
It's actually quite simple to lay new wires and add a fresh outlet; professionals handle it effortlessly. Just run them in various directions. A Powerline method could work too. You can purchase MoCA adapters, though they aren't inexpensive. Have you considered upgrading to a more affordable wireless router or adapter?
According to Dizmo, it's a good idea to consider a quality powerline kit.
There are a few concerns here. First, using Coax internet requires installing a Moca filter on the main line that enters your home. This setup might be tricky. It really depends on how everything is connected. If you don’t know the location of your main line for your apartment, it wouldn’t be wise to proceed. The main reasons are that the Moca filter A) blocks your signal from leaving Comcast’s network and B) sends it back, improving your connection.
