Okay so, in my dorm we have a coax port and a fiber port in the wall. I'm trying to look for a wifi modem that ideally doesn't need either of those (if that even exists). I can't use the fiber port since someone else has the only port in our room. I could use the coax port if I needed to, it's just that it's in the living room and I'd need a super long cable since I want to keep the modem in my room so that person can't steal it (because that roommate 100% will, I really don't wanna get into the specifics about our drama here lol, I'm currently in the process of leaving). I have literally no idea how any of this works. I've tried looking it up, but Google seems way more interested in trying to sell me stuff than answering my questions. Help would be appreciated
