Hello friends. I'm not just being lazy, I've searched high and low but could use an extra pair of eyes.

 

Essentially my goal is simple. I need one of these:

But it needs to be an extra wide one (I'm sorry I don't know if there's a term for it, I've heard 2-gang? Double gang? Idk) kind of like this:

So far the 2nd picture is my "best" option currently. You can buy a little coax connector for a keystone jack slot that fits in just like an RJ-45 keystone. But then I'd have at a minimum from what I can find 3 extra open holes. The ascetics are (somewhat) important to me. I'd really like to find what is shown in the 1st picture but with the total side of the 2nd picture. I've searched Amazon pretty high and low...

Why do you want a dual gang single f connector faceplate? The point of dual gang is more connectors. Use the second one for power outlets of something else.

because right now the house already has a dual gang plate with absolutely no connectors. However inside the plate is a junction of coax cables. I need just one of them to come out and connect to my router. So I want a faceplate that has at least 1 coax out that would be able to connect to my router. It doesn't HAVE to have only 1 connector. 

 

I guess at this point I might just order one of the 4 port ones. Then just buy 4 coax outputs for it even tho I'll only be using one...

Watch what line you put your modem/router combo on. From my understanding cable modems need to be installed on the first two way spliter that the main line connects to. Or elese you will get shit signals and shit service as a result. 

 

Most cable providers I have heard of run the main line in from the street to a two way splitter. One side does internet and the other is for TV and might go to another splitter if you have more than one TV in the house. Just dont be hooking it up to random ass Coax or you WILL have issues down the road. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
