Where's my Xfinity modem connection?
Just moving into a two-year-old house in Citrus Grove (yeah!). I am planning to bring my xfinity-approved modem and router from my previous house.
Comcast says my home previously had xfinity service. Where is the cable connection for the modem? I've looked everywhere and can't find it. Thanks! |

You could ask the previous homeowner, look at pre-sale pictures to try to spot a modem, just keep trying until one of them works, or buy a coax tester to see which one(s) are live. I would either go with the pictures or just keep trying. |

If the above does not work, try this.
If you have a digital voltmeter you could look around the garage, or attic to see if you find the outside cable feed and the connection to a splitter or coupler. Take this apart and place a jumper from the center lead to the outside metal coupler, then you can go room to room with the DVM and check for a short circuit. Remove the jumper, reconnect the cable and install your modem. |
Maybe I am missing something, but I thought you could connect your modem to any of the COAX outlets in the house as long as it has been activated by Xfinity. But, first you need to sign up for the Xfinity internet service, plug in the modem, and activate it. If you haven't paid Xfinity for internet service, the modem will not work.

Any of the coax CAN be used but only if they are terminated - mine were/are not. |
