I always thinks its nice to offer up the work to fellow Villager first before the big corporation comes Monday at 3pm for their appointment. Reach out to me if this is something anyone wants to take on.

Cheers,

If you are just relocating the modem/router from one active outlet to another, it should be easy to just disconnect the active one from the splitter in the white panel box in the garage and connect the inactive one to the splitter. But, if you are trying to increase the number of active outlets, you may need Xfinity to increase the signal strength.
