What Coax Cable

[MichaeldaFritz]

So I'm stupid in networking and so forth. So for my new computer I decided to get a cable modem so that I could get better access up in my room because I have a coax connection but no ether net. The provider in combat and the modem is the Arris/Motorola Surfboard SB6141. I was wondering what coax cable I should get for the connection.
Thank you

The best cable to use is RG6 with compression fittings. Try to get only the amount of length required. Compression fittings are preferred over lower quality crimp-on fittings.

any coax cable will do....IF...you are getting internet service through the coax. If there is already a cable modem, you can NOT use a 2nd modem. it doesn't work that way.
