There is a cable that runs from the Verizon box outside of my house, comes into the basement corner of the house, and plugs into the router. Do I assume this is fiber optic cable? This cable is about 3 ft long which is problematic in getting a good signal throughout my house. I would like to move the router up one floor. All the other cords and cables are long enough to do so.
My question is what is this cable called and can I replace it or extend it myself? If so, is there any pertinent information I would need to know to do so such as part names and where to get them. If not, how do I get a longer cable installed.
I am not tech savvy and grateful for any help.
