Well, actually it doesn't "work" in the sense that there is no network connection. The only lights you see are the power LED because the router is plugged in.
Yes, we want to take the living room cable and secure it to the open port on the FiOS splitter. The issue is, where in the world in your building is the other end?
Let me ask this: have you ever at any time successfully used the coax in the living room for anything, including a router, TV, etc.? I think I know the answer, but why don't you just tell me.

Did we not already establish that these cables are currently used for the Dish install?
Here's what I would do. Run a new coax from the FiOS splitter into the building and terminate it at some convenient location on the first floor. Alternatively, just connect a piece of coax to one of the working coax cables in the basement and run it to the first floor somewhere, and fit the router there.
In other words, forget about the living room coax. After all we've done you still haven't found it and believe me, I'm not coming over there to look for it. Simply connect your FiOS router to the new coax and you will have Wi-Fi where you want it.
