Hi all.
A number of years ago when Virgin Media installed our Broadband and Tv connection we had the normal box (cable through wall to street) installed downstairs near the TV and we had a 2nd tivo box installed for TV upstairs in bedroom. A time ago we got rid of the box upstairs.
My question is the box in the wall (upstairs) which I believe had a coaxial connection - is this still live as such - does this receive both TV and Internet feed as the same box downstairs.
Can router be plugged into this now?
There is a splitter connection downstairs - one goes to the Virgin Hub router and then goes through the wall and into the bedroom upstairs via the outside wall.
The reason im asking is can this 2nd box be used to connect another router and we can then easily run ethernet from here rather than up and down the house?
Hope this makes sense!
A mesh network is also an option but they are quite costly when I would rather have ethernet.
Currently have
Virgin Super Hub 3 (modem mode) connected to RT-AC3200 router (downstairs)
Have a TP Link AX5400 router spare
Million devices connected to Wifi
