Moving router to another room

We have an inactive coaxial cable in another room. How can we get it activated to move our router?

You will have to schedule a technician to come to your home and relocate your drop for you.  Once he has connected the drop, he will have to test the signals to make sure that everything went well.  You will be charged the standard fee in your area for moving the drop...just make sure that they do not charge you an activation fee since your modem/router is already activated.

You may be able to trace that line back to a main coax cable splitter somewhere and reconnect it to it if there actually is one. Or you can add a splitter if there isn't.

user_yv9ns5 That would be correct that the outlet may not be receiving an active signal from our network, and the best option is to have a technician scheduled to do that for us. If you still need assistance, please let us know and we can help with the scheduling.

FWIW, it may not be the "best option" if you can do it yourself. You would save the possible $100.00 charge for the tech visit.
