Purchased a UHD 4k TV on sale recently. To get that to work I have to update my Comcast gear. New modem/router combo with a new 4k cable box. Which is wireless No coax cable attached! Plugged everything in and it's a weak signal. Seems to be a little glitchy. Ugh.. There's plenty of bandwidth they talked me into a max data package for two years that didn't cost much and has 800gb unlimited or some crazy amount like that. More than I'll ever use . Moving the modem is not an option at this time because of the alarm system and a couple other things that are hard wired ethernet to that spot in a finished basement. Anyways I have a couple questions to try to work around it and I'm wondering if anybody familiar with Comcast can help me.
Why did Comcast switch to wireless for UHD/4k? Is that because a coax cable cannot support 4K?
The new box does have a hardwired ethernet port I'm guessing cat5 on the back of the box. If coax can support 4K can I just do a coax to ethernet converter plug like this?
