I moved into a new, refurbished or upgraded apartment* in a complex and had Comcast "turn on" internet service only, with me doing a self install with my own router. There two coaxial connectors in the master bedroom, two in the living room and one in the second bedroom. I have attached the router to all of them and after it is powered up, it stops at the point where it establishes a connection by blinking to indicate a failure.
Comcast technical service in Bombay says service is turned on but there is a discontinuity between their connection and the wall plugs. I've asked our complex maintenance people to look at it, but in the meantime is there anything I should look at and check? I do have access to the box of spaghetti where all the cables are connected to the various apartments.
I am still able to use the Xfinity service off someone else's router but I don't want to depend on it.
* I mention this because in the refurb process they messed up some of the 110 volt wiring, so maybe coaxial cable as well?
