I want to run a wired signal to my desktop in the den. The router is downstairs, and moving it is not an option. Running an ethernet cable throughout the house isn't an option, either.
With that in mind, there is an existing RCA (coaxial) cable running to the den that carries a television signal to one of our Comcast receivers. I spoke with a comcast tech, and he said that running this RCA through a modem or a router, and connecting our desktop to it through Ethernet would give us an internet signal, since the television and internet signals are ran through the same bus.
Browsing the internet, I found a device called a Balun. What I want to know is, since I haven't found any routers with a coaxial input, would it work if I connected the RCA cable to an RCA -> Ethernet balun, then connected the balun to a router, then the router to the desktop, or would adding the Balun to the mix cause the whole thing to not work?
Quick replies appreciated!
