We have decided to move our high speed internet cable modem to a new room in our house. We have a cable outlet in the new room but was told we need to activate it for the internet rather than the TV before using. Of course, Charter wants to charge us an activation fee and time for the repair person's visit. We want our main computer hooked up directly to the cable rather than the wireless option and we do not want to run ugly cable wire along the walls from the upstairs internet activated cable outlet (where the internet connection is now) to the new room downstairs where we want to reconnect our modem to.
Can we activate the cable ourselves somehow since we already have the service and modem, or do we have to pay these jerks even more money just to move our modem location.
Many thanks
