Cake.
Unscrew antennae from router, screw that in, feed it power from an outlet.
As far as the phone line, iffy.
Ethernet vs phone are essentially the same but not necessarily.
Phones use RJ11 plugs, Ethernet RJ45. RJ11 will plug into an RJ45 outlet but not the other way around. If the cable was not originally installed as dual purpose but phone only you may be missing pairs.
How about coax? Is there any near the TV and also near the router?
You could use MoCA extenders which are my preferred way to go.
