I want to move my cable modem & router upstairs so my xbox can have a wired connection. Can I do this myself? Or does the cable company have to come out and do it? Right now, I have 1 computer & 1 xbox connecting wirelessly, nothing wired. So it's doing me no good where it's at. Thanks!

Yes you can move the cable modem to any cable outlet in the house. The modem will authenticate your connection once it is powered on in its new location.

it would want to be performed with cable bins, as cable bins keep the renter's concepts at the same time as first appropriate to a cable source, so see you later because the renter of the container nonetheless has provider, the container would properly be used everywhere that makes use of a similar cable organization (i imagine it has a decrease regardless of the truth that, like it may in basic terms be appropriate interior jurisdiction, many times city limits), the renter of the container is responsible for all expenses utilized to the container (pay-in conserving with-view, etc) yet, as for cable modems, this isn't the case, cable modems in basic terms artwork contained in the position of living they were put in in, also, you opt for a committed internet provider pass, so regardless of if it did artwork, your mum and dad might want to wish to pay for a web connection over their cable bill, and that is going in conserving with modem, so if there have been 2 modems, you may want to wish to pay for 2 streams, so in the adventure that they already have a cable modem, in basic terms use a router an connect to theirs

Assuming you have a cable outlet in the preferred location it shouldn't be a problem. However if you don't, you could also run a long Ethernet cable from your router in it's present location to your Xbox. Ethernet cables can run up to 100m or so without needing any extra equipment. This can be unsightly but you could pay a licensed cabler to run ethernet cables inside the walls/ceiling.

Sometimes. You could try it and see if the modem syncs up, and what your speeds are. I have seen cable companies install cable lines specifically for Internet. That is to say TV is filtered off the feed providing Internet, and the Internet signal is filtered off the feeds going to the televisions. They typically do this outside the house, and specifically when their Internet signal is weak, affecting speed.
Best advice, try it. If it works, perfect.

As long as the other outlet's on the same "connection" it should be just fine. (Like, how would they know, eh?)
