Could I connect the splitter behind the tv and run 1 piece of coax to the tv and another to the cable modem and then on to the wireless router? I have new Comcast modem and router and the service would be comcast.

You MIGHT. I have tried that and could not get the modem to find the cable signal. after talking to Comcast, we decided the trailer had too many splitters in-line for the modem to work inside, so that is why our is in the basment, before all the other splitters.

it cold also be low grade coax, I have had to buy really good coax cables to get from the campground hook up to the modem.

Is the coax better than Comcast uses? They will provide all that I need but I am not sure of the quality.

Some of the Comcast coax is good, some if it was not. Looking at the ends, and how ends are done can tell a lot. molded ends are generally mean a better quality of coax than crimped ends. I got a long white cable from Comcast and it is very good.
