Would patching the right side or converting to a double gang w/ wall plate be better? (lemmy.today)

No idea what the story behind this is. It's a single gang coax box, and just a hole next to it. Looks like previous owner started to patch the drywall by putting the backer in but gave up.

You have a lot of options. If you are going to run Ethernet eventually, I'd use a big plate and keep the fist sized hole.

That looks like an easy option. Might not even have to remove the backer if it lines up right. We are planning on running ethernet but not here. It's the corner of the dining room so it would be useless
