Recently purchased a new receiver, tv and blu ray player and my installer moved my router from my office to right below my tv. My FIOS modem is in the tv room so he ran a new coax line from the modem to the router. I asked him to leave the old coax from the modem to my office because I thought coax converters would be cheap.
There is a bedroom between my office and my tv room. My plan was to run Ethernet from my router to my office following the path of my old coaxial. The coax runs through the wall of my tv room, along the floorboard of the bedroom and through the wall of my office.
Coax to Ethernet converters are too expensive in this situation because I need two of them. Powerline ethernet converters are an option but I want to try this way first.
I'm pulling out the coax and replacing it with ethernet. I pulled the coax through the tv/bedroom wall easily enough. I took the gender change plate off my office wall but something is holding the coax in place. I've been tugging on the bedroom side of the cord and it's screwed in there.
It's pretty clear the FIOS installer smashed out some wall on the bedroom side and did a quick dry wall job over it. My plan is to open the bedroom side of the wall and either put a plate or patch the hole. My question is this: What is holding the coax in place and how big a hole will I need to get it out of there?
