I am so sick and tired of these stupid fucking coaxial cables. Let me explain what is going on (rant) My Internet router is on the floor, and the fan turns on and it sounds like a jet engine going to take off, so I decided to buy a new coaxial cable so I can move the router off the floor, as the location where I planned to put it was good for the WiFi signal but there was one small issue - it was too far from the coax wall plate, which gives me internet. I got a 25ft cable (yes it is that far) so I can put it on the area where I can put it. I went to the hardware store, bought it, connected it, taped it to the wall and it seemed to work, until it reached midnight, which was when the light on my Xfinity XB7 router turned orange, which means it lost the downstream signal and it is trying to retrieve it. I fiddled around with the coax cable. Tightening, loosening, disconnecting and reconnecting, and restarting the Xfinity router 80 times - didn't work. I decided to check the routers ...
