Connecting My Computer Via Ethernet

[Paigemon]

I don't have WiFi where I live right now. Would I be able to remove the cable from my TV and connect it to my computer's ethernet port. If so, what connector would I need to purchase? Would I need to purchase anything else? Thank you for any help.

You need to provide a whole lot more info on this.

What is the other end of that cable connected to? What type of signal is it delivering?

Are you actually paying for an internet connection?

I am living in a house where we have cable TV throughout the house, but the landlord won't get a router for wifi. I have a cable through my wall that is attached to the TV. If I want to get on the Internet, I need to take my laptop to a hotspot. I was just wondering if there was a way I could get online without needing to go out. No big deal. Thank you for your responses

That cable delivers a TV signal, not an ethernet (computer) signal.

Possible solution? Buy the landlord a WiFi router and install it for him.
