COAX to Ethernet
Currently I have a STB connected via COAX to the AT&T Router. I would like to free-up that COAX for use with OTA Antenna and an FM Antenna. Is there a way I can connect the STB via Ethernet to the AT&T Router and thus freeing up my COAX?

You connect a OTA antenna directly to your TV, not your ATT equipment. You should have a F connector in the back of your TV. Connect your antenna (the RG6 coax attached to it) to the TV's F connector and switch your TV input to take input from it via your remote (or maybe a menu on your TV).
Remember, the first time you connect remember to do a scan so the TV knows the available OTA channels.

This is not the issue. I know how to connect COAX from a terrestrial antenna to a TV or AVR, the issue is switching my AT&T STB from COAX to Ethernet to free-up the COAX so I can use it for OTA (NOT going through the AT&T GW).

I am liking the last option. Is there any other charges\fees for the wireless receiver? I order the wireless receiver and WAP, pay $49, return the hardwired receiver and nothing else? Same monthly charge I am paying now?

The wireless receiver would be about 20ft from the WAP. The WAP is in a closet and the receiver would be in a cabinet.

No. Not the DVR, just a receiver.
