Garage PC is too far away from Verizon Wireless Router MI424WR.
The cable from the underground comes in at the garage and is tantalizingly close!
Can a 75 ohm video type splitter be installed at the garage and some sort of converter box be installed at that point to convert the signal and provide a hardwire connection to the network card in the garage PC?
If possible, does Verizon have this converter for a reasonable cost or can you recommend an alternative?
Can an extra STB from Verizon be installed and use the "ETHERNET" RJ45 connector on the rear panel?

The underground cable is fiber. You can't tap into that.

Yes. You can tap into the coax coming out of the ONT and use a MOCA bridge to provide an ethernet connection in the garage.
See the following FAQ:
Can I get an ethernet connection in a room with only coax

VZ does not sell MOCA bridges. See the above FAQ for sources of MOCA bridges.

No. The RJ45 connection on the STB is not active.
