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?

    It’s not an issue with the PC being unable to connect to Wi-Fi, it’s that the Wi-Fi speeds are relatively slow and inconsistent. According to Ookla speed tests, there have been times where I get download speeds of 120 Mbps and up, times where I get less than 10, and times where I get between 10 and 25. I’m hoping by Ethernet connections that I’ll be able to get more stable and maybe better speeds.
