I live in house from the 1960's in Sweden and we only have old coax into the house. Our ISP (Tele2) gave us this old Sagemcom C2 router that really is a nightmare: every settings is for some reason locked down so you can't change any of the settings, it's running an old outdated software version and you can't update it, it runs really hot for some reason, we pay for 300 Mbit/s but only get ≈100 Mbit/s etc. Our ISP tells us it is supposed to be this way with this router and that everything is fine. Is anyone aware of a modern router that has a coax input? The outlet. The cable. The router.

Hi all! So, I recently moved into a new house in Germany and in there there is no Ethernet network. This seems to be a common issue, since the WiFi guys came prepared and installed my router onto the coax cables for the TV/Multimedia signal instead. So now the problem is that the house has two floors and the router's signal only reaches the second floor, where it's installed. So here a small premise, I don't really know much about networking stuff and I'm learning it as I go, which is why I'm asking here before doing the thing. So, my thought was that it could be possible to install a second Access Point downstairs by simply getting a cheap, second hand router of the same model and set it up using a coax cable instead of an Ethernet cable. I've seen a couple of videos and it seemed that the only requirement is that the two routers are connected to each other, so it seemed reasonable that if you can plug one to the network via coax cable this would also work to allow communication between the two routers, once I turn off DHCP on one of them. Online, I had a hard time finding information regarding this specific configuration since everyone assumes that you have Ethernet cables installed in your house. I saw that you could buy these MoCA adapters to transform the coax signal into something that can go through Ethernet cables, which I could then easily connect to a router, but the price range on those varies so wildly (20€ to 100€) that I just got more confused on what the required functionality even is. And even then, if the adapter simply allows me to put an Ethernet cable in my MoCA ready router, then why would the coax cable not be enough already? So my question is, is what I'm trying to do even possible? Is having the same router model enough and can I just plug it in and configure it like a normal Access Point? Do I have to buy one of these adapters for it to work? And what kind of adapter? I'm just very confused by this different distribution method and I don't get how to deal with it. My router model: router with coax cable For more info on which adapters I'm talking about: expensive adapter (100€) cheap adapter (20€)

I've been looking for a VERY cheap Coaxial Gigabit Modem that doesn't have a router for about 3 hours now lmao. I have a Nighthawk X4S Router which can do Gigabit but I need to upgrade my modem. I've been looking and I cant find one cheap. I don't need name brand or one that looks nice. Anyone have any ideas or modems? -
Hello guys, I've bought the Astro HDMI Optical splitter for my PS5 but my Focusrite 6i6 2nd gen needs a Coaxial SPDIF connection so I had to buy a Optical to Coaxial SPDIF converter as well. Granted it was like 14 euro's but now I hear a very very faint click once every 3-4 seconds. Mind you, when in game you don't notice at all, but when audio is low you can pick it up and it gets annoying after playing a bit. I think it is the Optical to Coaxial converter since it was so cheap (I couldn't find more expensive converters in my country (Netherlands)) and i don't think its the Astro splitter. Problem is I don't have other hardware to test with. So I was wondering if a HDMI in to HDMI out and Coaxial SPDIF out splitter exists. I can find loads of splitters like the Astro's HDMI optical splitter but none that replaces the optical SPDIF with a coaxial connection. I want to cross out one variable, which is the Optical to Coaxial converter, but I can't do that unless I get that splitter but with a coaxial SPDIF out. Any help would be VERY MUCH appreciated.

Hey everyone. In the process of setting up a new game room that will have a 3 tvs, a 4x4 swtich and a few 2x1 switches to keep all the devices plugged into all of televisions. with that said, i am having a somewhat hard time with the wiring of all this. the only coaxial port is on the otherside of the room from where this is all being set up. additonally, the wireless box from the house is attached into that. i am considering moving the wifi box into my center console that will be holding all my gaming consoles for this setup, but wanted to see the most efficient way to do that. Since i mainly play xbox, use cable and my other systems the interenet speed doesnt really matter i wanted to figure out the easiest way to do this. does anyone know if there coaxial/ethernet wireless capability exists? if so, how much lag/is it even worth it to move the wireless box from the other side of the room. i am thinking of plugging a coaxial plug straight into the wall, half goes to the wireless router, the other half runs to the cable box that will be in my center console. additionally, i would run an ethernet cord from the wireless router to the back of my xbox. (therefore there would be two long cords going from the current nightstand that hosts the wifi and the only coaxial entry point.) to make it easy i am going to terribly draw on paint a brief description of what im dealing with. So if anyone has any ideas, please let me know! thank you for your help in advance!

Hi everyone, Admittedly, a long time ago, on literally a different continent, I worked at a company, where they plugged a modem into the back of a Kubuntu 7 server and it was the router, UTM, file server, download caches server and so forth all in one. As I was fresh out of college with an associate programming degree in the Windows eco-system, I picked up very little of the technical intricacies and only did basic command input administration. However, it always stuck with me a conversation along the lines of, "Why don't you just use the supplied router?" "Do you want a plastic toy or a beastly machine guarding the gates to your network? Which do you think would handle a brute force attack better? Which do you think you can customise more for traffic monitoring and alerts?" I think I finally have enough of an understanding to implement some guides. Anyone know of any good ones on configuring firewalls, configuring a Linux OS and such? What OS is considered the most secure or suited for this? Anyone tried something like this Sophos UTM OS? Has Sophos improved since Tavis Ormandy toyed around with it? What block lists would you recommend? Could I use Geo-blocking on a solution like this to reduce the chances that I team with Russians in CS:GO? ? Thoughts on making an all-in-one server, UTM, game host and router, the drawbacks, risks, etc? Thank you in advance, Jen

So I have DirecTV and this is how the router/modem is set up. I can't run an ethernet cable to my room, so I was wondering if there was a way if I could use ethernet over coaxial with the outlet in my room. I was looking at this but I was wondering if it was a good option. I'll take any idea you guys have. Wireless really isn't cutting it

Hey, i was wondering if it was possible to connect a coaxial cable from an outlet to replace the "antenna"? outlets at the back of my computer from Asus PCE-AC56. they seem a little smaller then normal coaxial cable, what do i have to buy in order to have coaxial from outlet go into my As us PCE-AC56 small holes? (sorry for bad english) Picture of the 2 holes down below. Will it work to get internet over coax? The Hotell i live in have 150mbps up/down fiber internet, but i live in a hotel so i have NO access to powerline and ethernet connection. Btw, how can i know if my hotell have internet trough coaxial cables? Thanks in advance!

I want to kludge an external antenna to pick up 94.5 FM. Our cabin window’s facing away from the Owen Sound transmitter. What I have on hand (here in the bush)... coaxial cable. ~50 feet. BNC male coupling on one end, make cablevision-type male connector at other end. spools of speaker wire (for Shortwave pickup). duct tape, gorilla tape. rudimentary tools. No soldering iron. I’ll do a google search too; however, I want to see whether my e-community have plans that worked! Thanks in advance, eh.

I know this doesn't really have anything to do with computers, but I'm looking into replacing my sound system in my car. I'm relatively new to car speakers. I'm seeing all these things about coaxial and component speakers and how you can do it this way or that for your setup, but none of the things I'm reading really have any reasoning behind why you should do it this way or that. The only thing that's had a reason was to have components in the front because they come with tweeters, but my vehicle doesn't have tweeter mounts. So should I just go with coaxial all around, or should I custom mount tweeters in the front? I'm just really lost and any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Im really pressed on space for a server build and it would be really, really,REALLY beneficial to have a router with a modem built in, or have an expansion slot (like EHWIC ports on Cisco routers). if someone can give me a link to a router like this i will owe you my life (ps, it must be rack mountable)

Simple question,. What is generally the best connection from my motherboard to my DAC? Optical or USB (I'm includibg the coax output but most boards require an additional motherboard cabble connector to use)? Which generally gives better performance of all the optiions?

Hey Guys, I want to hook my PC up with an Ethernet connection. My problem is, that our router is in another room, and running an Ethernet cable from there to my PC would be to complicated. Can I connect another router/ modem or whatsoever to the coaxial walloutlet in the room with my pc and run is so to speak in parallel to the router? I can't move the router, because there are other things connected to via ethernet. So in short: What can I connect to a coaxial/cable walloutlet to run an ethernet cable to a end-device? What sollutions are viable? Sincerely 5chmidti

Hello guys, In short, I'm looking for a modem & router combo that supports coaxial cable internet input (preferably with external antennas). Price: max $200. I looked it up a bit but can't seem to find a single combo router, just modems.. Your help would be appreciated!

Hey everyone. Well, my TV from 2007 has bitten the bullet as to say, and I'm thinking about getting a new one. (While a bit sad, allows me to upgrade to a 1080p TV, no more 1680x1050) Along with it, I want to get a blu-ray player. More specifically this one: Sony BDPS1500. The only downside is the outputs. It has HDMI, but it also has a Coaxial audio output. What I want to know. Is it possible to adapt the Coaxial to RCA (Audio only) for use with my Logitech Z506 Surround Speakers? If so, Can I use a cable or do I have to buy an adapter of some sort? I know I can buy an A/V receiver, input the HDMI and split the audio off that way, but that would result in extra cost, which I'm want to avoid if possible. Any help would be appreciative. If you find a solution, please link it as I saw some, but did not know if it would work or not. Thanks!

I am not very knowledgeable in the whole networking thing. So, I am trying to upgrade my stock Verizon Actiontec mi424wr. The way that my house is wired, it is set up to take in coaxial, instead of ethernet WAN, due to no hard wiring in the house. I am trying to upgrade to an ASUS RT-AC66U Wireless AC1750 Dual-Band Gigabit Router router, which doesn't have a coaxial input. I don't have any way to go from the coaxial to the ethernet that I need for the ASUS. Is there anyway that I can just use the old router, plug it into the ASUS router, and turn off wireless to just provide internet? I would still like to use the new ASUS for in-home streaming etc., that the faster speeds and data transfers would benefit from? Right now, I have the ASUS router set up as an Access Point, does this allow me to do data transfers just through the ASUS, or does it pass back through the Actiontec? Again, I am not very knowledgeable. Any input is highly appreciated. Thank You in Advance.

I have a single coaxial cable connected to my modem. I would like to know if there is a way of setting up two modems with one coaxial cable? Assuming this is possible, would I get two different ipv6 address or would they be the same. Or would I have two different internal networks. Or would they be the same internal network with the same ipv6 address and they would balance the load between them, doubling my speed. I know its possible to have two modems, that balance the load and you double the speed of your internet, but I don't know how people do it.

So I'm in terrible need of new internet, but it turns out the modem I'll be needing in order to get the speeds I'm planning on paying for, gets it's signal from a Coaxial cable and not a telephone/ Ethernet cable. It has a Ethernet Out cable for the router/ computer. Now the problem I have is that the room I'm in and am planning on having the access point in only has a phone jack. Is there an adapter or something that my Google-fu is missing that would allow me to plug my phone line into my Coaxial modem? Everything that I seem to be finding is for turning the Coaxial signal from the wall into an Ethernet signal. I need it to be the other way around. I really don't want to have to rewire my house if I don't have to. Any help would be appreciated!

I have both Sound Blaster ZXR and Edifier S730. Before opening Sound Blaster I want to make sure it will support my speaker setup. Can I use optic/optical or Digital Coaxial with my Speakers? Anyone know if I can use either cable with SB and S730 speakers?

I'm facing a dilemma for networking, I am moving my computer and desk to a different location in the house where there is no coaxial port for the modem. Normally my router is right near my rig and I can just use Lan. I would just use a really long Ethernet wire from the router to my computer but my mom doesn't like wires all over the house. So I discover a coaxial hole thing on the other end of the room so I can put my modem and router in but theres no signal. So my parents decided to ask Shaw to drill some holes in the wall and connect some coaxial from the cable box in the garage. But I read online that lengthy coaxial causes loss of signal. I am not willing to sacrifice my connection cause I game so I might just beg my parents to allow an ethernet across the house. But before I do, is Ethernet even better than Coaxial? lawl thx for reading this long half good explanation of the problem
