I am going to "housesit" for my son and his wife for a month.
The have Cox Cable TV service but not internet service as I do at my home.

There's a possibility of it working... depending on signal
levels/noise... etc. If everything is OK with the signal, then it
should work just fine. Of course the signal isn't something you can
easily test unless you have the proper meters to test it.

Since we are in the same area and use the same Cox cable service I
thought it may work.

I will take my modem over there and try it and if it works I will post
the results here.

I have talked with the tech from my service and this can be done. With Cox
being so large my guess it would only work in local area not say across the
country.

My understanding is the modem just has to be on the cable system it is not
tied down to one house.
