Best Answer

You can buy a router and 4 ethernet cables if the PCs do not have WiFi or a WiFi router and however many ethernet cables that you need would be a better solution and would also give you a WiFi capability for other devices. Routers can cost from a wide range and are often sold at below retail prices and the same for ethernet cables. While you could spend over $200 it is possible to be under $50 depending on the type of router and the brand and length of the ethernet cables

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.

it means that the connections for cable TV and internet are already installed. that being said, not all internet is created equal.
