I wish I could have multiple modems coming into the house using the same provided cable. Why’s that not possible?

When I was younger I went and bought a new modem so I could play halo on my Xbox in another room than where my parents had the original modem. Found out then I’d need to pay for each modem.

If you're not sure what a router is, you should probably look that up, because it sounds like you want another router.

I know what a router is lol. I just was wondering what are the available options to use all the coax connections already in the house so I could connect everything via Ethernet , if you wanted to avoid running Ethernet through the walls or don’t want Ethernet cables visible

When I was younger and before WiFi was a thing I naively thought I’d just plug in a new modem.

It actually sounds like they just want a switch

If you have coax, look into MoCA. I have one attic device on a MoCA connection and it runs very well.

How does the age of the copper affect performance. Will look into it thanks.
