Internet to garden office via coaxial cable
Hello all.
I wonder if you can help me?
I have virgin media internet at tv etc in the house.
I have a garden office approx 30m away from the main house.
Currently I use TP Link Powerline adapters / WiFi access point to use the internet in the office. However, the speed drops from 250mb to around 15mb due to the length of the power cable run and the fact it goes onto another ring main (I think).
A few years ago I had an engineer install a virgin ‘coax’ cable from the main house to the garden office so I could watch tv in the office. I no longer use this but the cable is still in situ.
Recently I noticed a coax to Ethernet adapter on Amazon. Can I use such an adapter - presuamably one at each end of the run - to connect to an access point? Possibly, because this is a direct run cable I can get closer to the speeds I get elsewhere in the house? Would I need to drill through the wall to connect the coax or can I simply connect it to the cable already there which is connected to the outside of the house (from what I can see) - I think this is called the omnibox ?
This is the kind of thing I noticed: https://amzn.eu/d/2QPY3FF
