I'm trying to find a way to hardwire two bedrooms from the Xfinity box in my living room. My sons are into streaming and gaming, so they need reliable internet connections. Long Ethernet cables down the hallway seem impractical, so I'm looking for alternative solutions. I've heard that Comcast doesn't support wiring like this anymore, but I'm hoping tech support might have some insights on how to set this up effectively.

You've basically got two main options: you can either run Ethernet cables along the walls or go through them. There are also adapters that use your home's electrical wiring to transmit Ethernet, but personally, I wouldn't recommend them. They usually don't provide the same speed and reliability as regular Ethernet cables.

I was curious about that too! I read something about powerline adapters or something like that. We do have coaxial outlets in their rooms, but I heard they might need their own modems. Is that true?
