Insert the modem power cable's free end into the modem. Place your modem in its spot. Attach the modem to a router. If your business gets cable TV and high-speed internet access from the same company using the same line, you can use a coaxial splitter to connect your internet router and one or more cable boxes to the internet.
You can also consider using wireless digital alternatives to traditional cable TV to reduce wires. How do I connect to Xfinity Ethernet? Category: technology and computing computer networking. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to your computer and the other end to the Ethernet outlet on the back of the modem. Can I use my cable box for Internet? How does Xfinity wireless cable box work? Does the x1 box need Internet? Is the Xfinity x1 box wireless? What is an xi5 device?
Can I use my own router with Xfinity? Can you use your own modem with Xfinity? Do I need a modem and a router? How do I find my Comcast IP address? How do I setup my modem and router? Is Xfinity self install easy?

I have clients that do this with HughesNet Satellite internet service, along with a 4G wireless service like Verizon. You can get your own 4G modem that will allow you to connect Ethernet cables to it. Here are some options:.
Then you would run an Ethernet cable into the home and split the line with an Ethernet switch as noted in the article above. I just made my first attempt at shutting of WiFi and going back to wired.
I have a Spectrum ubee modem that was installed in bridge mode because I was using a WiFi router at that time. That turns off the ubee wifi radio, but at the same time makes the four ports redundant — only one IP address.
It you want to use the ports like a normal router, it turns on the WiFi radio! Exactly backwards! Spectrum will give you a modem with no wifi, but it only has one port! So I connected my WiFi router in the same closet and used one port to connect to a NetGear powerline adapter. Two other ports go to the only two Ethernet locations I have.
Three other NetGear s give me lots of connection flexibility. I can manage the router broadcast time in the system settings by going to its IP with my Ethernet connected laptop. But I have found you usually have to restart the router to get WiFi turned back on. Also the powerline adapters randomly disconnect a couple times a day. My work is saying I need a wired internet connection in order to work from home for security purposes. I however can not get wired internet where I live.
Only WiFi or satellite. Is there anyway to get around that and somehow get a wired connection? You can have a wired connection even with satellite internet. The uplink to the satellite will obviously be RF. You can do this with any system. There are even 4G modems that connect to a cell tower, but allow for an Ethernet connection to your laptop. In these cases, you will follow the instructions above. I live in a rural area of Oregon 20 minutes away from a large city.
I had a landline, but it became unusable and the phone company CenturyLink refused to fix it. My Internet service is wired thankfully! I want to discontinue the CenturyLink service completely, but how will I be able to get wired Internet service? Can you help me? Oh, also, my home was built in with most likely original electric, so….
Do you have any other wired internet providers out where you live? If you are stuck with CenturyLink, then you can do voice with several different companies.
Here is the leader in this:. This is tricky though as you need the satellite to be about feet from the home and you will need a wired modem from them. Then you are still left creating a wired phone setup through their modem. Do you no longer recommend using a ground adapter for the Ethernet cables going from router to computer? I did not see anything about it in this article. Curious as I saw it in an older article of yours.
The above article is the first step people can take to setup wired internet. The following article is a more advanced step where you can ground your Ethernet connection. I advise all ES people to ground their Ethernet connection. I searched you site but have only seen your recommendation for Comcast in this article.
Have you heard anything about Windstream or Earth Link Internet providers? You likely only have a couple options for internet where you live. Some communities only have one option. So, you will need to go with what ever provider is available. I recommend the smaller regional providers if you can as they tend to be more flexible and allow you to use the equipment that you want, as long as it works with their system.
Hi Jeromy, could you possibly help me with a question. There are about 6 wifi networks being generated from the ground level office. Would this provide some kind of shielding or would it be harmful? There are also 2 cell towers about 1 to 1.
Also, when a modem generates what looks like 3 wifi networks, ie 2. Would these networks have a more harmful cumulative effect on the body or are they pretty much the same as the effect of one network? Cell towers that are mile away typically are not a huge problem. It just depends on the variables line of site, alignment with your building, whether buildings, trees, hills are in the way, etc.
If you are just shielding from the WiFi downstairs, a thick aluminum barrier on the floor will help. RF does leak around shielding, which is why the full enclosure of a bed canopy is best.
However, the floor shielding will provide some protection. It can be worth a try to see if you sleep better. I have never had a complaint, so you should be quite happy. You want to get the floor sheet as well for the full enclosure:. You really need to measure all of them to know what the real problem is. I discuss this here for a couple minutes at my talk last year at the EMF Conference:.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to source the most basic things without it. In my present case I need a new printer, but when I looked around to find one that would suit my needs I found that even if they advertise themselves as having an ethernet or usb connection, as well as the wifi, nobody can tell me whether I can actually disable the wifi, or whether it will just go on attempting to contact my non-existent wireless router for ever!
Knowing that a certain model had no wifi capability whatsoever would be a big plus to me. But finding it is proving difficult. Busting the internet of things enabled future. Thanks Justin And thanks for all your good work! Nobody is tracking this that I am aware of. The key is to be able disable the wireless when you get a device. Sometimes this is simple programming. In some cases, you just have the device operating for a few minutes when you need it. RF is not the only or even the main thing!
Hi Jeromy, thanks for your response. Maybe I should start a website myself! All the best Justin. I have not used this device before. You will likely need to try it out and test it with your RF meter. Working with a Roku tech on the phone may allow you to disable the WiFi. Perhaps call them first? Is there a professional that you can pay to have this done correctly? Name of professional that does this or a company would get me started.
Maybe I should figure all of this out and start my own business. Yes, a local computer repair business could do this for you. There are also local EMF consultants that can help out.
Best Buy has their Geek Squad, though they may not understand that you want a wired internet system. Can I also disable the WiFi on a Frontier modem and then use my own router or Ethernet switch to achieve the same results as outlined in this article? Your email address will not be published.

In Australia there are rules controlling the installation of wired networks. A poorly installed network by a unregistered cabler or homeowner can be dangerous thing. A house-fire caused by unsafe wiring could lead to a world of insurance problems. Keeping cables safely separated from v wiring and hot pipes, is just the start.
Only an ACMA registered cabler can sign-off on the safety of data networks. Hi Susan, Yours is a common experience with Comcast. Keep me posted on this. Thank you again. Good luck, Jeromy. Hi Pam, Indeed, having Ethernet available in most rooms is a wise move.
