Ok, so first off, I'm not in any way experienced in setting up home networks. I'm a mechanic, not a computer guy. But I can follow directions so hopefully somebody here can help me out. I'm trying to improve my network at home. I have a fairly big house and my cable modem/router is located in one extreme corner of the home, with no option to relocate it, and I generally use wifi devices in the opposite extreme corner of the home. My signal isn't always the best. I have 2 laptops, a netbook, and a wifi-enabled desktop which get used in that room, as well as a blu-ray player which is used for streaming media like Netflix. We use DirecTV as our TV provider, and we have whole home DVR in every room. Because I already have internet running on the coax line in that room for the whole home DVR, I was under the impression that if I plugged a DECA into that line, I could then plug a router into it and I would be good to go. Apparently not.
What am I doiong wrong? Is there a way to set this up?
