Coaxial Router

[MrImnotMLG]

So in my house we have a coaxial cable that brings in all of our data and used to bring in the TV signal until we switched our subscrpition. I wanted to switch over to an AC router but I noticed that the input into the old router was the coaxial cable. Anyone know of an AC router with a coaxial input or a good converter?

Uhh... I think that's a modem/router combo unit you have and you're probably paying a monthly rental fee for that.  The best solution, assuming your ISP allows, would be to switch to renting a pure modem that is ONLY a modem and then connecting that to whichever router you wish.  You could rent or if your ISP allows purchase the modem.  Before buying any modem, ensure your ISP allows outside modems and what modem models the network allows.

No, it's has to be our router(and yes I know it's actually a modem/router/switch unit but router is a universal term now). We have had it for the last 8 years and continued to use when AT&T decided to sell off U-verse for Direct-TV.

You'll probably need a DOCSIS modem but do you have your login credentials?
