I am switching from fios to xfinity internet. I am trying to do a self install and want to clear up my doubts about the wiring. I currently have a fios gateway connected to my inside coax outlet. I want to replace it with my new xfinity cable modem. I suspect I cannot simply remove the coax cable form the back of my current fios modem and put it in my xfinity modem and expect it to work.
Outside my home I have the Fios box and a coax cable coming out of it, connected to another coax cable going into the home. There is also a coax cable sticking out of the ground, not connected to anything - is this likely to be the cable coming from xfinity? If I disconnect the coax coming from the fios box, and plug in this suspected xfinity cable to the cable going into the house, am I all set? In this case, can I just replace the fios gateway to my new xfinity modem on the same wire inside the house?
With everyone working and studying from home, I would like to make the transition with as little experimentation as possible, and minimize any offline time (I have a short overlap period before my fios expires). I appreciate all inputs!
