Which TV jack in your house should be used by your cable modem?

Yes. "You want to use the jack that connects directly to the point where the TV cable comes into you home with no splitters between this jack and the entrance point. Later, if your cable modem connection is constantly going down, you might consider that you've chosen the wrong jack for the connection because an inline splitter can degrade the connection. The cable company that installed the jacks should be able to tell you which jack is best to use for the cable modem."

Does it matter which TV jack in your house should be used by your cable modem why or why not?
No, any TV jack can be used. It can depend a great deal on the house and the cabling. In most cases, the closer the modem is to the main drop, the better off you will be. The shorter the run, the more data integrity you will have. The signal strength at the far end of the house may not be sufficient for the modem to work properly.
How do you use a usb cable to connect to your modem?
Your question presupposes that you have subscribed to cable internet service, and that the provider has run a cable to your home. It also presupposes that you have a cable modem. If these suppositions are correct, you just have to run coax between the cable jack on the wall and the cable modem. Then you need to connect the modem to your computer via USB, FireWire, or whatever interface your modem and computer have in common. FriPilot
Tips For Installing Your Cable Modem?
Once considered a highly technical device only for the most technologically capable, the cable modem is now a tool used in the vast majority of households. If you want to use your cable modem in the same general area as your television but you are having trouble with just one cable jack, then maybe you should invest in a splitter. A splitter will essentially make it so that you can run one cable to the modem, and one to the television. This can be an excellent alternative to having two separate devices in different locations of your home.
Why is there no dial tone on your Comcast phone?
There are a number of possible causes. First, make sure that the telephone is securely plugged into the jack, and that both ends of the telephone wire from the cable modem to the telephone jack are plugged in properly. Then make sure that the coaxial cable is securely plugged into the cable modem and that the cable modem is plugged in and receiving power. The next step is to unplug the electrical power from the cable modem for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in. If none of those steps resolves the problem, then you will have to call Comcast from another phone for further instructions.
Why doesnt your xbox 360 cable go into the internet port?
I am assuming the "internet port" you are talking about is the phone jack in the wall of your house? If that is the case, the ethernet cable that comes with your 360 needs to plug into your modem or router which in turn plugs into your "internet port" in the wall of your house. So essentially it goes: wall-mounted phone jack> internet modem or router (most modems come with wireless routers built in)> XBOX 360. Hope this helps.
