Please explain the reason why you can't ? Are there no available Ethernet ports on the router ?

user_a85doh Thank you so much for reaching out for help with getting a connection out to your pole barn. That would be nice, especially if using equipment that can connect using WIFI. Thank you for asking. In some locations, we can have 2 modems connected that may resolve your issue; however, the barn would need to be connected to the tap nearby and have its own Coax connection. If you are not able to move your current modem, we can see if one of our technicians can move your outlet to see if it can be relocated to a better spot for you. If you would like to have us check out options with you, let me know.
