Lose Internet when Extending Coax from ONT to MI424 Rev. I Router

I need to move my MI424 Rev i router.  It's now connected to the ONT with maybe 8 ft of coax and no splitters.  I need to add at least 50 ft of RG6 and move it.  However, whenever I add more than about 10 ft, I lose the internet connection.  Neither the WAN Coax or WAN Ethernet lights will come on.  But if I use only a short 6 ft length, it does reconnect and works fine.

 

Has anybody experienced this?  I'm thinking the router must be defective, but maybe I'm missing something. I know I could switch to a CAT5 connection to the ONT, but I'd prefer using the RG6 since I already have spare coax wired in place.  I'd also like to be sure there's no problem with the router's coax connection. Thanks a lot.
