How to get internet to my room which isn't connected to the house?

[terminaterg]

I've recently moved in to a new house and my room isn't connected to the house. We have TWC and i was curious what to do about

 

[Mr5oh]

How far away are you? Is wireless and option?

 

[terminaterg]

Wireless isn't really an option because i use internet to game and stream to twitch or watch netflix and youtube. I just feel like even if i had some kind of network extender it wouldn't really help that much. I'd say it's 30 yards between the two.

 

[Mr5oh]

Ouch, then probably the best solution is to have TWC come out and add a cable outlet to that building so you can another modem? At 30 yards you could still run a LAN cable out there too ?

I'm considering getting a second internet plan, a cheaper one that would good for just me but it seems ridiculous at the same time. Also i feel that the cable would be too much of an issue to hook up.

Oh i already have a cable outlet in the room. I've got the TWC canle box hooked up.

Then why not just a get a cable splitter, and another modem? I've never needed more than one modem in my house, but I don't see why TWC wouldn't let you have more than one modem on your account.

If you have a cable outlet already you likely can use MoCA to get a connection. Some of the latest cable modems have MoCA adapters built in so you only need a device on the far end. Still this is not always a option if you also have cable tv. Sometime they ISP is using moca to run their cable boxes for the guides and such. You may have to change the cabling going to your room to keep the networks separate if they use moca.

Well, depending on how the house is actually positioned, your best bet might be running a LAN cable from your main router to your room and if you need more than one RJ-45 connection or stronger Wi-Fi signal, get a TP-Link 5GHz router and you should be fine.
