Then take your ethernet cable (I like to use pre-made cables that are a bit longer than needed - 100ft is like $10 go for COPPER core, not copper cad aluminum since CCA is bad for carrying low voltage electricity) poke it through the ceiling of the closet (consider adding a tape-flag) then go into the attic, grab the cable, then drag it to your other hole and poke an inch or two down. Stick something up through the hole (coat hanger with a piece of colored tape as a flag?). Then drill a hole (about the size of a US-nickle) in the ceiling of area you want service to. If you're able to, go find a closet, drill a hole in the ceiling there. If your current wireless router is near an edge, get an Ubiquiti AC Lite or TP-Link EAP225. A third in an outbuilding allows for pretty solid coverage over the course of an acre. 2 APs does a solid job on my father's 2500 sq ft house. The Xfinity gateway doesn't have Moca capabilities or Moca isn't turned onД«ut I'd get the adapter and try it, if it works, great, if not, you can decide if you want to troubleshoot or return itДЈAPs should be 'good enough' for a 3200 sq ft home assuming it's not made of brick/concrete/mirrors on the inside. Bad splitters somewhere in the house (again you'd have to trace them to see), orДЈ. Coax cable in your room doesn't connect to the rest of the cables (you'd have to trace t to see), orДў.

If you're lucky, it would just be plug and play: If the coax jack in your room is connected to the rest of the cables then you could try one of these adapters: Which means the Xfinity gateway device (modem/router) probably has the capability to send ethernet over the coax cable using a protocol called MoCA, and that is probably enabled as most Xfinity cable boxes require that. Yeah I mean cable boxes for television, and you're saying you've got that.

I routinely get 950Mbps point to point over my old cable TV lines. I installed some of these MoCA boxes and I've been really happy with the performance. While I don't have ethernet run all through my house, I do have coax to many of the rooms. In this case, you have to find all the other jacks and then hook then splice all the other wires together. In other houses, they use CAT-5, but wire all the phone jacks together, essentially daisy chaining them from jack to jack. If this is what you have, you can just put rj45's on each end (or terminate into a keystone jack and panel) and you have a hardwired ethernet line (with any luck). In some houses, they run all the phone lines to a central location and then hook them to the incoming phone lines. So, now that we have determined that you have (probably) CAT-5 ethernet, the bigger problem is: where is the other end of that cable? Not as good as running ethernet, but better than wifi, and should be more than enough for any Xbox gaming session (works well on my Xbox One). You can do more from there (I have another router downstairs for my TV and video games to be wired, along with it providing stronger wifi for the back of the house) if you want, but you can also just plug that ethernet cord from the MoCA right into the back of the Xbox. What comes out of the MoCA is the same internet I have upstairs. Mine is outside by my main electric panel in a box labeled TV, and are connected with a 5 way splitter).

Downstairs in my family room (back of my house), I plug a MoCA adapter into the coax and a power outlet (make sure the coax cables you are using are connected, they should be, but if not, you'll have to connect them together wherever all your coax cables come together. Modem/router combo is upstairs in front of my house in the spare room / office, and I then connect the coax line in that room to the coax on the back of the modem/router combo. I currently have my network set up this way.

If that is correct, try a MoCA adapter like this (not endorsing this specific one, just the first one that came up on amazon for me). If I'm understanding this correctly, you want another wired ethernet connection downstairs, but currently only have a Coax cable (like old cable boxes).
