I live near Savannah center and get all the local stations with an attic antenna but I have a freakishly tall attic. Antenna is about 19' above the ground. If the antenna is only 12' above the ground you probably can't get channel 2 (NBC). Height is key to getting Orlando stations.

I bought a Google Nest system with a main wifi router and 2 extra wifi points. If you were to connect the modem and main router right at the cable inlet you would probably only need 1 extra point to cover the entire house. The advantage of Nest is the SSID is the same for the main and extra point. Then you wouldn't need any of your house cabling for Comcast.

I have a junction box in the garage where the Comcast cable comes in. There are branches to all the other rooms in the house. Not sure how yours is set up but with mine you can connect Comcast to the cable in one room and use the others for TV.
