You have an rg6 cable going to your modem/router box which is terminated in the network box. You will have to change this cable in the network box to the cable in your lr. Doing this MIGHT improve your wifi because the router you get from xfinity/spectrum are not that good.
I actually left my internet vendors modem/router in a back bedroom and did the following:
1: I terminated all cat6 cables in my network box and reterminated all phone jacks to rg45 and put rg45 terminations on all cat6 cables.
2: I bought a new wifi 6e mesh network pair of routers and put 1 router above the kitchen cabinets (central location) and configured it in wired bridged mode and put the 2nd mesh router in the lanai in wireless bridged mode.
3: a lot of people don’t realize that most wifi products in your home operate at the slower speed 2.4ghz band. So what I do is put a router near my media/tv areas where I have a tv/Apple TV/dvd/PlayStation/or another networked device and hook up all of these devices to the router or to a switch and then hook the switch up to the router so now all of those devices are using a wired connection.
4: my wifi speeds over the whole house has increased f I’m the middle 300’s Mbps to almost 800Mbps.
