How can you change the location of your cable modem and router closer to your room I have service with comcast and have their tv service I have called them and they dont give me a straight answer?

You can place a service call to move the modem. It may cost you a service charge. You can also extend the cable your self using the proper coax cable and a male to male threaded connector. The problem with moving any cable is how to route the cable without just laying it across the floor. This can be tricky and may be better left on someone who installs cable on a regular basis. With most cable companies you just have to find the right person. Schedule a service call and then work with installer to get modem in right place.
