My CenturyLink system has two boxes, one for the incoming fiber optic to be converted to electricity, and this is connected to other which is the WIFI router. These two are close together usually, they are connected by an ethernet cable, and my cable happens to be yellow, but they can be other colors. Separately when I had CenturyLink TV, there was a small box that plugged into the wall via the round Cable, called a BNC cable. The small box takes the cable signal, unscrambles it, often times has the Digital Video Recorder equipment, and sends video to the TV. The WiFI router also has a port to connect your computer directly, also an ethernet port. I don't have the small box for the TV anymore, but it might also have other ports, other ones than the video wires to the TV.
