The cable that connects to my router/modem

[wubzrs1006]

So I have a company called Atlantic Broadband and they give me a single router/modem thing.
I don't know what its called but they said its both in one. They connected the cable from in my basement up to my room, but they didn't give me any extra cable to pull my router. I want to move my computer to the other side of the room but i need to lengthen the cable from the existing one, I need to know what the cable is called. I need a female prong to connect to the existing cable, and a male prong to connect into my router/modem thing when i move it to the other side of the room

Edit: I saw something similar to it at walmart and it was called a RG6 COAX Cable, but both prongs are male. plus the cable at walmart says "TV - SATELLITE - CABLE/ANTENNA - DVR - F TYPE JACK" so does that include internet?

I also have ABB with the exact same router/modem combo. What you're going to need is a CAT5/CAT5e RJ-45 cable (looks like a big ol' telephone end) and connect that from Port 1 on the Modem to the INTERNET port on your router. From there you can use a cable of the same type to go from either your modem or your router (I recommend the modem for slightly faster speeds).

Hope that helped!!

@iS_Tech_Geek - read carefully OP' post! He/she has a combo device, not a separate modem plus router.

@wubzrs1006: You have two options - to move the router (extending the coax cable), or running a long RJ45 Ethernet cable between the router and your PC in the other room. If you choose first option, get a RG6 coupler like this to extend the cable.

@Alabalcho My apologies; I read it wrong.

Yes - He's right. A longer Coax or RJ45 would do just fine... As with the coupler. I apologize for any confusion.
