I assume you have internet with Cox. Where is the modem/gateway located? How is the computer connected to the internet, wired to the modem or WiFi? Is the upstairs TV connected to the cable (or via a box connected to the cable)? A short description of what you have will help us answer your question.

Hi Judith,
As Andrew mentioned, you will need is a splitter. A splitter is a device that looks like THIS and allows you to connect both the modem and your cable box to the same cable outlet. Splitters are available at drug stores, big box stores, and Cox Solution Stores.
In the room where you are moving the modem, find the cable that comes from the cable outlet. At this time, it probably connects to your cable box. Disconnect it from the cable box and connect it to the side of the splitter labeled "In". You can then connect your modem to the side of the splitter that has two ports. Your cable box will also connect to the side of the splitter that has two ports.
I hope this helps!
