It's easier to just look at the wires in the low voltage box.
To make the wires "live" (if you have Xfinity or Spectrum), you would have to have the modem/router in the low voltage box and connect the Ethernet cables to the router. You might also need an Ethernet switch.
Finally, one other suggestion is to use a Powerline adapter. This allows you to run the Ethernet signals (internet) over the power lines in your home. I tried this several years ago and was not happy with the performance. It may be better now.
