Default This might help others from getting in this situation.

With internet using a coax connection to modem it can cause a problem when you use one of the coax leads for your internet connection.

We had that in mind when sitting down with designers on building our house and had an additional coax cable run from the termanal box to the location we will have modem/router setup at.

It was only about $50-$60 to have an extra coax cable installed to the location of our choice. Not sure what after build cost would be but much easier to do in advance. Another tip you might consider if building new is if your planning to have your TV wall mounted in living room pay the extra to have power outlet installed($55) at 5' height so no cables visible.

We had the additional coax cable installed at the 5' height and this eliminates any wires visiable for TV. We kept the low installed Coax cable and will use this for our internet connection.

I know this doesn't solve your problem with need of an additional coax for your internet but might help those considering building and keep from finding themselves in your situation.

We also had the power outlet and coax moved to 5' height in MB to eliminate wires also.
