Here I've had twisted pair cable from the start so I haven't really had to
move over.
I believe that you can get hubs that will have the ability to uplink to coax.
This would be my reccomendation as it would let you keep your existing
network in place while still being able to connect your son's laptop. You'd
also be free to move over to twisted pair at any time then.
