Installing RG-6 for cable internet

[jackjack]

Hi folks,

I just switched from DSL to cable internet. I'd like to move the wall socket for the new modem to a different spot. I have some RG-6 and F connectors lying around, but what I don't know is how finnicky coax installation is - do I need some equipment to check that there's no impedance or reflection issues (or something else entirely)? Or is it reasonable to assume that with the right cable impedance and quality installation things will be fine.

Thanks,
Jack

we don’t allow DIY posts, I will have another mod look at this as it may be ok
