I had  my 3 tv's connected via coax cable with the old modem. We changed for new hub 4000  fibe and it does not have a coax out . Is there a way to connect the coax cable . Is there a ethernet coax converter , splitter etc...

Thank you

It would be good if you'd post more details on your setup/environment. What was the connection device before you got the HH4000? Is coax cable running throughout your house? And so on.

So the short answer is...possibly yes. Do a search with this term: coax to ethernet converter. You'll get a lot of results, some of which will be relevant to your situation. Others won't be.

For example, here's a discussion thread from Tom's Hardware: forums.tomshardware.com/threads/is-there-a-device-that-can-convert-coaxial-to-ethernet-connection.3039540/

Hope this helps.

Hi ,Thanks for your reply, I had a bell 2000, the coax cable was wired to my three tv. the reason i am asking is because my tv in the basement freezes at times, so i would like to use the coax wiring for all my tvs and use wifi for phone, tablets and pc. Its not that bad, but if it is easy and possible i would like to try it . ethernet to coax converter.

Thanks and have a nice day

Just A Reminder The 

Home Hub 4000 -Fiber Modem Is NOT COAX CABLE

The Hub 4000 IS A  Direct FIBER NOT COAX. there DIFFRENCE.......FIBER-OPTIC CONNECTION ........NOT COPPER WIRING THEY ALIMINATED ALL THAT WITH FIBER ..... Just Wan't to make that Clear so ALL The New People Joining Up To  Bell Know this .. A FUll 1 GB DOWNLOAD  940 up BELL CANADA  Can Change to A FULL GB UP to Match The Speads Like There Comptitor Compony Beam Field Here In Toronto

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone could help me out. I have three coax connections throughout my condo, one in each bedroom and one in the living room. I’d like to use these to set up various access points / provide wired connections. I currently have Bell Fibe (first time bell user) with no cable set up previously. 
do I need to ask Bell to come over and set up the coax cables in my utility / network box where my modem sits? I have the Bell 4000 hub currently. 
I have included photos below for reference.

Thanks in advance.

I need some clarification here regarding upgrading HH2000 to Gigahub modem during a copper to fiber migration. My current setup is 

HH2000 connected to VIP 2262 PVR using ethernet cable

One coaxial cable comes out of HH2000 and is split to two other receivers, both are VIP2202

1 - Does Bell provide ethernet over coax adapters in order to connect the Gigahub to the existing coaxial cable coming out of the HH2000?  

2 - Using the ethernet over coax option, how many adapters do I need?  Is it only one at the Gigahub modem end?   Or do I need an adapter at each of the coaxial end points.  (So in my case do I need 3 adapters, one at Gigahub end, and two for each VIP2202 ends?)

3 - How does the wireless option using VAP 3400 compare to the ethernet over coax option in terms of reliability and speed of TV signal?

Does Bell provide ethernet over coax adapters in order to provide wired connection to one room with existing coaxial cable in the house?

I saw in different forums that this connection is possible, but you need special adapters.
