Cable Modems And Coax
I'm in a new apartment blah blah blah.
My problem is this: the landlord is ass-dragging on getting the internet set-up. So much so, that they originally asked if I knew how to install it. I've done WiFi networks, sure - but never touched a coax line since the advent of cable modems or T1 lines. So theres is a coax line - about 17 feet away from my PC. And its at such an unearthly angle (basically from the ceiling), that moving my computer closer wouldn't do a fucking lick of good. As I'm new to this, my basic understanding is to just take the current coax line, attach a splitter and then run about... 25 feet of coax to a cable modem which I've yet to install. Is that basically it? I don't even know if the ISP (Optimum) requires drivers or a software install (Charter and Comcast do not, others do) and further -theres gotta be another modem somewhere in the house. Would having two of them be a signal problem? I know that coax lines are basically things that you can split ten times and not ruin the signal - but this shit is new to me. Damn it, Jim - I do networking, not hardware line installations.  Most amazing jew boots
