Weird question, I know. My apartment comes with a modern/router combo that, for whatever reason, does not have an Ethernet port. So a friend advised me to purchase a modem, then connect it via coax cable to my apartment’s modem/router, then connect that to my PC via cat5. I did so, but the Ethernet connection on my PC shows no Internet. Is this possible to set up? Is there a software related step I’m missing to complete the connections?

    How are you supposed to connect your computer to the modem/router if there’s no RJ45 port?

      Probably has WiFi only, especially if it’s a landlord provided special deal with the ISP.

      I bought a secondary modem, so my signal flow goes kinda like:

      ISP -> Modem/router combo (installed by my apartment) -> Coax cable -> secondary modem I purchased myself -> cat5 cable -> PC
