Is it at all practical to go through the wall at the demarc, place the modem there, and then using ethernet to the router? I got rid of a fair amount of noise when I ditched the coax running from one side of the house to the other, and that was internal.

    i really dont want to run the Ethernet cable inside the house since even my cleanest job of running it in the corners i still wouldn't be the happiest to see.

    i didnt ask it in the post but i was originally trying to look up and see if 100ft coax vs 100ft ethernet which would be better on the system.
