Appreciate the response. It is advertised as a fiber-optic service, but it is, indeed, connected by coax. I'll be using extension cables for the existing external antennas that came with my newly-installed networking card, but will be looking for superior external antennas (some of which come...

I do have a coax network in my home, but nothing reaching the east side of my home where the router is located.
