Cut the cable, what now for the coax?

A Wi-Fi Bridge might be cheaper:

I've found out that the TV will share wifi with the Firestick. Wasn't expecting that.

If you just want to have better wireless, I would recommend getting a couple MOCA adapters for your coax. They're similar to powerline adapters, but more consistent and faster performance.

Mentioned them above.

Okay.  I just read some of the posts.

You could always hook up an old coax VCR.

I won't give up my Betamax until it's obsolete.

I still have an old VHS.  Probably still runs as good as new, but don't use it for anything due to converting everything to digital.  I guess it's cool for the sake of nostalgia.  I remember the VHS vs Beta war though.  It was like rival gangs.  Some people swore by one, and some swore by the other.

I had Beta, VHS, and LCD when I was in Japan. In 1976 a friend bought a console TV, 27 inches, color no less, that had VHS and Betamax built in. Cost him $2,000.

We have a TV, blu-ray, a laptop and a PC in the office. The router is hooked into the modem and everything is LAN'd off the router. I'll see what kind of coax options those two have right now, but I would still need something like the Actiontec at the other end, I think. I don't know if the coax connection on the TV would share connectivity with the Firestick.

Connecting the coax to the TV will not get internet to the Fire Stick. The only way to do that using the coax is to put another adapter, going the other direction, on the end of the coax, and hook the ethernet out of that adapter to the Fire stick. (If I remember right, there are options for hooking ethernet cable to a Fire stick, but I may be wrong and thinking of the Chromecast or Roku instead.)

I planned on buying a pair of the converters, ~$40 total.
