    Can this coax cable be used for internet?

    I bought this thinking it might be better than the one from Xfinity/Comcast. Should I just return this and use the Xfinity one?

    I just ordered a switch so I can do wired backhaul. How do I this? Do I need to configure any setting or do I just connect an ethernet cable from the switch to wherever my 2nd AP is? I ordered this switch: https://a.co/d/d624zmQ

    I'm probably going to use subnet 24 to avoid any issues. I don't need more than 250 devices. I'm just trying to use an ip address that I can remember so I can login easily.

    Hopefully there is/will be newer firmware available by the time all my hardware arrives from Amazon. It is going to be a pain to wire it because I need to order a super long ethernet cable and also a switch I think.

    Do I have to mount or install an AP to the wall or ceiling or can I just put it on a table or something? Looking at Ubiquiti U6 Enterprise. Also is there a way to power it with ac power because I don't have poe. Can I use the poe adapter for this?

    I have had the router for 2-3 years and I am currently using it as my router until my Hunsn and new cable modem arrive. I am planning on using it as an AP to save money since I already have it.
