I had to open mine to replace the weatherboard it was screwed to.
Damn rot and bora... never buy a weatherboard house.
Anyway from memory it was clipped at the bottom and had a security cable tie
on it too. So unclip the bottom with brute force and it rotated up like a
cat flap.
Then I lost the lid but that's another story...
Here's an easier option... Remove the F Connector from the cablemodem end of
your cable, and pull the cable back under the floor. Then reroute it to the
destination, and attach a new screw-on F connector.
Good point but the cable runs along the outside of the house and then
down the wall and through the wall at the point where the socket lives
on the other side, so its not that easy.
I'd like to leave the option to put it back there too. I might ring TC
and see how much they would charge to re-route it.
In the last house there were in fact two cable points inside the
house, one in the dining and one in the lounge, so maybe its possible
to just split the cable with an ordinary splitter? But then I'd have
to waterproof that...
No - you'll mess up the loads for the whole segment. TCL have remote
access to all those black things on the poles, and they have to balance
the signal at each point.
