We have cable T.V. Our internet and cable provider are the same (Brighthouse).
They'll install a modem, but it costs extra (are there any cheaper modems online that'll still work?)
"What's on the other end of that TV cable?"
I wasn't referring to the cable, I was referring to a port in the wall (I don't think I'm understanding your question).
I'm not sure which of the two options you presented are the one I fall under.
Our Setup
We have a single modem in the living room; it provides both cable and our internet. It connects to an F-Type and Ethernet ports. T.V.s throughout the house run off of F-Type connectors in each room. I'm about to get a new computer, and I'm wanting to hook up to the internet via cable (we've previously only used the Wi-Fi). Originally, I'd considered running wire from my room to the modem, but then I remembered I have a cable connection in my room.
If all else fails, I'll run the CAT6 like I'd originally intended (it's cheaper than what they're wanting for the modem).
I do apologize for any confusion I might be causing; thank you very much for your time : )
WyomingKnott :
That depends on a number of things. No, you can't connect to the Internet from an antenna. But
1) What's on the other end of that TV cable? Do you have cable TV? Is your cable TV provider also your Internet provider? In that case, the cable TV provider may be able to install a modem in that room.
2) Nothing is on the other end. You have a coax cable that runs from where your Internet source is to this room, and you want to push Ethernet over it. There is hardware that can do this.
3) What exactly did you mean if those are both wrong?
