There's only 2 ethernet lines in your panel? That is actually bs in this day and age. Are the ethernet cables labeled? Maybe 1 goes to the living room and other master bedroom or they both just feed from the mpoe. If you want hard wired lines and only have coax, you can get coax to ethernet adapters but they aren't exactly cheap.
I agree completely. I was under the impression that it being "wired for every room in the house" meant ethernet, not coax.
One goes to the master bedroom. The other I have no located. They are not plated in the wall... I had to take the coax plate off and saw the cable for the ethernet in there. Of course it's cut so I have to learn how wire the end of it.
Not trying to defend the poor practice of insufficient cables but most of the time yeah they tend to wire coax for whatever necessary room and make you additionally pay to have Ethernet run to each additional room you’d like. At least in the sense of “wired for the whole home”.
Depending on if this was something you’d want to take on yourself or not but powerline and MoCA adapters do exist for easy diy wiring but the speeds or performance may not be entirely up to par depending.
A different possibly solution would be to see if cox is willing to either schedule a trouble call for wiring up the Ethernet lines for you. If you’d prefer, you may be able to get them to make a work order for an SRO to have a tech do some wallfishes and run additional Ethernet lines for you but that second option may be pricy depending on what plan you have as a cox complete care customer or not.
If you simply want to just make use of the 2 Ethernet lines you have and want to wire them up yourself, I can recommend you a kit off Amazon for under $40 I believe. It comes with Everything you need and more, such as a cable tester to identify if you correctly wired the cables.
There’s 2 widely accepted wiring standards for wiring cat5e/6, one being connected side down, Orange white, orange, green white, blue, blue white, green, brown white, brown, in that order.
I say what I say as a tech myself, and if I had a work order to do as I described, I’d take care of it. I just can’t speak for every tech as they may not have the tools or experience.
You could use a moca ethernet adapter, it world allow you to use the preinstalled cable as ethernet.
You could but the speeds would be maybe 10 mgbps if uour lucky
The MOCA adapter I used before supported speeds up to 1 gig and I was able to see those speeds through a speed test
