OK, is it possible to disconnect the cable from the modem to pass it through a wall, then reconnect it. The installer left a fair length (apparently, but I haven't been there to see it yet).

Is it coax cable, telephone twisted pair or what?
Give me a clue, please. I have a 300 mile round trip to connect the computer so I'd like to take the right tools.

And on a related question, if I'm not allowed to touch the connection, does that mean I can't swap the ethernet modem for a router?
