Not all coax outlets (also called cable wall outlets) may be active in your home. Follow these steps or go to Midco.com/ActivateOutlets for written instructions on how to activate a coax outlet you want to use.

    Thanks for the great video. They said it will cost $100 to call a technician to change the outlet location. But I was able to do it myself after watching this. Awesome!!!

    You're the goat! In my situation, I am renting and previous tenants switched from one ISP to another. Meaning half the coax cables were hooked up to the previous splitter and the other half were attached to the current.

    Thank you for this amazing video! I was able to get the coax plug to work in the correct room in about 10-15 minutes! Saved me a call to my internet provider and $$$.

    It's possible you may have a unique set up! We try to keep things as uniform as possible, but that's not always possible. If you don't have a house box that has the cables outside, usually you'll have the line running into the home somewhere like a utility closet that houses all of your cabling. If you're needing an outlet activated, you can always reach out to us at any of the options listed at

    A splitter may cause signal issues if there are too many splits and no impedance terminators on unused ports. My setup does not use a traditional splitter instead I axed the splitter the service provider installed and put an active rteturn amplifier in it's place which allows me to split the service 9 ways out. Whats so interesting about this amplifier is how broad it is in band coverage so it not only works on cable services but also works to boost OTH tv via outdoors antenna as well.

    So what if a coax cable only works for TV service?

    The only cable in my in port on the splitter is not even connected to anything. Essentially the coax cable running through the In port just has another splitter coming off the end of it with nothing attached. The special cable with the do not remove label is not even connected to any splitters

    If both of mine are connected and everything is place but there’s no Internet connectivity, is there something else I’m missing in the activation? They’re still not active.
