I suggest consulting UPC. They can suggest interesting solutions.

First of all, you need to do this and also read the contract. The service provider provides the signal in accordance with the terms of the contract and you can move your finger in the shoe yourself.

What I proposed, I am able to do myself and if you have a more interesting solution, ask for suggestions. At this stage, he does not want to contact UPC unless the signal is too weak.

According to the contract, the entire installation is owned by UPC, so it is not worth going to the orchestra ...

From what I read, the UPC (or other operator's) installation ends at the teletechnical box.
Secondly, when contacting UPC, I have to pay PLN 50 for making an additional socket. If it turns out that one of the variants drawn by me is good and the technician from UPC will do the same, why should I pay? Contact with UPC is a last resort (so far I have put all the cables myself, the technician who came only connected the signal in the UPC box). If it is only a matter of other distributors, please specify which ones.
I am still not sure which option will be better?

Installation in the apartment is owned by the client, he pays for it. However, modifications will void the installation warranty.

Nobody will give an answer, because you don't even know what your input signal is. Theoretically, you can plug in a modem in front of all elements and orientate yourself this way, although it will not be a precise meter.

Before trying to modernize the modem and the signal, I have + 10db DS and 42db US maximum values. The next element is a 2xF data socket and there it drops by about 3-4dB. So I can still use an additional splitter so that the signal is within the acceptable range (from what I read and what I know is -8 to + 10dB).

Due to the change in furniture, I have another problem because the socket in the room is not on the wall I would need, but from the other room I can pass the signal through the wall (partition wall) but I do not know how through sockets behave (attenuation at the IN-OUT output, attenuation on output to the receiver) from what I saw, this socket has an attenuation of about 10dB as with the signal that may be too weak?

Can UPC do such modernization or is it better to do it by yourself? How to buy it yourself? Does UPC use pass-through sockets at all?

Or maybe you have another idea?

In the photo below, I marked in red where the new socket should be.
