How to avoid using my ISP's gateway/router? I live with people who still pay for cable TV, so the coax is required for some TV functions. (alien.top)

Where do the STBs coax lines connect to the coax feed from the road? Surely the Frontier Gateway isn't acting as a coax splitter...

Oh, I may have misunderstood. The coax that goes into the optical to rf converter is the one that comes from the pole outside, at least I'm almost certain. I think the coax to the gateway is just to some splitter ran outside, it's really baffling

I would check on the Frontier forums, might have more people familiar with the TV side of things over there.

As for the Internet, you don't need the gateway, just credentials for PPPoE
