Very cool article @Miki. Nice find and thanks for sharing. The author is absolutely correct in saying cord cutters now have tons of what seemed like useless coaxial cable running through our house. I bought a big spool years back to run to each room for cable access. Now you can potentially turn it into an Ethernet hub to hard wire devices or add extenders, etc.
I immediately thought of those trying to get their signal from their modem to those “remote” areas and instead of those “electrical” extenders this would be an amazing option as no new wires to run.
Great find!
AFA locating which RG-6 outlets are connected to another, back in my satellite dish days where my dish farm was 100’+ from the house, I used to short the center wire with the shielding/ground on the coax cable & then test for continuity with a multimeter on the other end inside the house.
You could do the same with some coax cable attached to the wall outlets…it’d be easier, IMO, than what was suggested in the article.
Oh that’s an excellent article @Miki Exactly what most homeowners can take advantage of. Brilliant!
Interesting stuff Mik…this is a decent possible work-around for people that have wifi signal coverage issues in their homes/businesses…depending on their budgets. If this becomes popular, I may come out of retirement & hook some peeps up…ha ha. 
Interesting. Would a home coax system connected to a cable modem work? They say not if its connected to cable TV but don’t mention cable internet.
Thanks for the additional info. This maybe a viable option for those with trouble reaching those distant recesses in their house.
Yep…peeps will have to do their homework & see if this is better/more economical than a mesh type of wifi extension…I’m surprised I’d never heard of this till you posted it…looks like its been out a number of years.
Same here. I was honestly surprised. All these years in this internet world and today was the first time I heard of it. Considering how many want “hardwired” for stability it’s very surprising.
So everything is hardwired via ethernet using this system?
So you can’t use Wi fi at the same time?
Sure you could use WiFi simultaneously. All you need is a switch our old router (converted into switch) or splitter plug the ethernet cable from the adapter into whatever you’re splitting the ethernet with and plug your WiFi router into one of those ports.
Thank you @elginherd I have limited cabling in my house so would need both options.
Hardwired is always going to be more reliable to any sort of wifi system whether using a mesh or range extenders. There’s the possibility that you’ll end up with less speed up & down with the cable/hardwire method, but it’d be more reliable, and reliability is often more important than cutting edge speed.
Yep…I’ll take copper/twisted pairs with proper shielding over wifi any day…& for the most part I do. But I do see the convenience of wifi, depending on the home network infrastructure & needs. I only have to worry about my devices, so its easy…big families have more networking challenges. 
Edit: Big families and apartment people retired in sunny Mexico 
Still not clear if you can use this when your cable internet comes in via the house coax?
Yes you can…it doesn’t matter if it’s coax, fiber or dsl…whatever it is will be going to your modem. All other cable throughout the house would’ve been hooked up to set top boxes or directly into tvs.
@pangaeatech you talking about someone whose name starts with “Mi” and ends with “
