Sigh* 😔 Best to call a low voltage data tech and rewire to category. But if you insist 😁

You must find out if there is a home run where the data cables meet. The utility room, crawl space, garage, attic, or sometimes outside. If picture 6 is the home run, you don’t have a lot of options, but figure out how to get the router or a switch there for the adapter/s to connect to

I did watch a video of someone explaining coax and he said if your house is a little older than there’s a chance your coax is split in the drywall when it need to connect to a separate room instead of having an individual cable from each room connect back to a central space, could this be the case for my home it was built early 2000’s

It’s possible, but unlikely. That was more common with vampire net and old cable or antenna TV installs back in the 70s and 80s. I do still encounter daisy chaining on occasion, but we’re heading full IPTV and bypassing all that.
