Get something like this. It literally runs internet through the power cables in your house. Plug one next to your router with an ethernet cable, and one near you device with an ethernet cable. Instant internet.
Wow, literally every comment in here so far is wrong...
Yes, OP, you can use the coax in your house for networking. What you’re looking for are MoCA adapters. I use them for backhaul between my pucks and they’re just as fast as Ethernet.
The only situation where they won’t work is if you have Satellite TV. DVB-T and MoCA don’t get along. If you have cable TV, though, you’ll be fine.
I have had some success using powerline adapters as well in a house, where it is difficult to run a cable.
Instead of running cables everywhere check into Ethernet over Power. Cable plugs into your router then into a box in an outlet. Then from another outlet to a box and you can plug in a cable there and add wifi boosters/router from there.
Powerline Adapters let you use your home's electrical lines like makeshift ethernet cables: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Powerline-Adapter-Starter-TL-PA4010KIT/dp/B00AWRUICG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1519569756&sr=8-2&keywords=tp+link+powerline+adapter
Dude just have fun. The guys whining about WiFi are just salty and need something to blame because they can't land their own combos. Most guys I face on WiFi are fine.
Also you can run internet over your power in your house with this adapter so there ya go, easy wired connection if you want it.
Powerline Networking isn't great...but I think it's better than WiFi...
They're not super expensive...Something like this would work: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-AV600-Powerline-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B00AWRUICG/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=powerline+network&qid=1610564144&sr=8-3
If the coax is decent enough, you can get some MOCA adapters and get gigabit speeds relatively cheap! I used that to upgrade my mom's house to take full advantage of Google Fiber with a Deco mesh network.
These are the ones I got, they work great so far! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_DN1C2E43FB67XCWJZ9YC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
You didn’t misunderstand. He’s talking about MoCA adapters. I use it in my house and I get the full internet speeds I paid for. He’s right, the adapters aren’t cheap, but it’s a great alternative to WiFi if you want the speeds you paid for. Essentially, you plug one adapter to the router and the other adapter to the device of your choice (PC, for example).
Actiontec by Screenbeam MoCA 2.5 Network Adapter for Ethernet Over Coax (2 Pack) – 1 Gbps Ethernet, Coax to Ethernet Adapter, Enhanced Streaming and Gaming (Model: ECB6250K02) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088KV2YYL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_889DGEABW0ABJVB726XZ
Yes it would help and you need 2 because one goes to a coax hook up near your router and the other goes to a coax in your pc room.
This is the one I bought, it has a cable pass through so if you currently use the cable for TV it will still work.
It comes with an ethernet cable but not a coax FYI
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Make sure you connect it to your router via wire.
Wireless mesh/repeater/extender is not good performance.
If running a wire is an issue. Powerline Ethernet (homeplug av2), coax (moca or Hpna), or Ethernet extender (dsl/phone) is much better alternatives than wireless repeater.
This is a close to wired as you can get without running cable. 2000 = 1000 up x 1000 down. (Full duplex)

I like the Actiontec branded MoCA 2.0 Adapters. Here's a kit on amazon for a 2 pack.
I use them myself, and they work excellent. I get like 700-800mb down on my Apple TV when doing a speed test.
Unless you have bought one of these recently it'd be fucking useless. ITs unrealistic not because of technical difficulties, but because the target audience is tiny. Maybe if you were trying to pull another Stuxnet and had a very specific target
Yes, you can. You'd use a couple MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) adapters, with one on each end. This should allow you to push ethernet over your Coax. Having never done this myself, it should work fine in theory, but other factors like cable quality and length will probably come into play.
Here's a link to a pair you can purchase on Amazon: Link
I have MoCA adapters working with Verizon FioS. Its awesome. MoCA 1.1 gives 175 Mbps shared.
I have them next to each TV (3 total). Much better than Wifi. I do not see ocassional drops I used to see with wifi earlier.
I have had ocassional (may be 4 times in 8 years) when I have to reboot the moca adapter as it got out of sync but very rock solid otherwise.
I use Actiontec MoCA 2.0 adapters - no-referral Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013J7O3X0/
If you do not have a PoE switch, you can use a PoE injector. They cost around $20 US. https://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-PoE150S-Injector-Adapter-Compliant/dp/B001PS9E5I/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=poe+power+injector&qid=1667558144&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIzLjcxIiwicXNhIjoiMy4zOSIsInFzcCI6IjMuMDMifQ%3D%3D&sr=8-3 Make sure you get a PoE enabled access point (or camera)
Yes, so basically your router or gateway would need one moca adapter and your pc room would need one moca adapter. And they would both be connected with a ethernet cable/coax. This is the one I bought but you can get cheaper ones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088KV2YYL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4RDxFbXNXZ4J1
It comes with extra splitter/coax/ethernet. Moca is the way to go if you don't want to run a long ass ethernet cable in your house. The speed and latency is almost identical.
Yes but you must use Moca adapters (one at each end of the coax run) like this one: https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-2-5Gbps-Ethernet-WF-803M/dp/B07XYDG7WN/
300Mbps is what you get. I always think anything over 200Mbps is pretty good.
As for getting Ethernet upstairs use this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYDG7WN/
Buy one to get Ethernet on your Coax and one for each time you want to get it out of your Coax. Will do gigabit speeds and best thing after Ethernet.
To all Wi-Fi players.
Saying that your router is too far is definitely not an excuse.
You can buy a bridge that'll run the signal through the electric cables in your walls. As long as you have an electric socket in the room you play in, you can play wired.
Now please. Everyone paid for the game. Don't be the guy/gal ruining the online for everyone. Heck it'll even downgrade your experience as you'll get blocked by more and more people.
I can aslo understand that some situations prevent you from accessing a decent connection. Rest assured, this reply doesn't concern you.
Have a nice day y'all o/
e: spelling
Do you think this would be good? It’s the first thing that comes up on Amazon. I have 200 mbps btw.
DIY buy a spool of cat5e, rj 45 tips, crimpers, faceplates all from Home Depot and it very much doable.
Or go wireless. Another option is using powerline Ethernet adapters if you want the high speed amazon tp link
the easiest way is probably to use some powerline adapters.
something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H74VKZU
basically just uses your home's existing power cabling to connect two ethernet ports
> then you need decent sized antennas if you're transmitting any kind of distance

Need one at either end so make sure to get a 2pk like in the link rather than a single pack.
You're going to want a powerline adapter if you want a wired connection. I'm not sure how much it'll help in your use case.
https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-AV600-Powerline-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B00AWRUICG/
plug it into a wall socket near your router, plug ethernet cable into router.
plug other one into a wall socket near your tekken machine, plug ethernet cable in.
a thousand times better than wireless. not only will your opponents appreciate it, but you will notice a difference as well.
Something like this. Basically, it will let you run an ethernet connection via coax.

I am sure others can chime in regarding the specifics of setting it up with your Comcast service. I haven't had Comcast or run MOCA in years, but it did work very well when I did.

I use these with great success for places I dont want to run cable. https://www.amazon.com/Powerline-Ethernet-Adapter-Extender-TP-Link/dp/B084CZMYNM/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1OLTN9F51QA6K&dchild=1&keywords=powerline+ethernet+adapter&qid=1629507210&s=electronics&sprefix=powerline+%2Celectronics%2C195&...
