How to get second router for myself? - eviltoast

Hey! So I live in this huge house where there’s a lot of people rented here. There is only one router and it’s extremely far away from me. I use internet a lot so I need a router of my own via cable not WiFi. What are my options? There’s xfinity here. I had my own xfinity router from my old house, plugged it into the tv cable and I don’t get service. What could I do to have my own router and Ethernet ? Thanks!

    You can’t have multiple routers like that. If it’s rentals, you’d really need to get and pay for your own ISP and then you can register your modem on the coax line. Otherwise you’d need to convince the huge house owner or whoever owns the ISP contract to invest in a better network, whether it’s some kind of mesh system or a proper ceiling AP setup.
