Hi, you're looking to relocate your computer while maintaining Ethernet connectivity. You're considering Powerline, MoCA, and possibly a splitter. Your ISP provided a Comcast modem with built-in MoCA, which might simplify things. Regarding adapters, you likely won't need one for the coax connection since it's already supported. A filter may be necessary depending on your setup, but confirm if it applies to all coax lines. For the TV area, you'll probably need a splitter to combine both Ethernet and cable signals. Your diagram seems reasonable—just double-check connections and ensure compatibility. Let me know if you need further clarification!
Bonded Moca adapters include a Coax in and Out port, and they typically work well with TV signals. The adapters designed for 800 Mbps are suitable. If Comcast has activated this feature, you likely won’t require an additional MOCA adapter.
You're reviewing the diagram and wondering about the overlapping lines in the middle. It seems the coax connection is entering the house, but it's not splitting evenly into all rooms. You should apply the filter only at the coax entry point to block the MoCA signal from leaving your home and causing issues. If your Comcast device already has MOCA built in, you can verify that. Once confirmed, ensure your other connections are using a splitter that supports MoCA (some models may not work). You'll need an adapter to change the signal type, which should be clearly illustrated in the diagram. Your Comcast router or modem likely includes MOCA, so you should log in and enable it if needed. If you're using an app for setup and don't see the option, check the modem/router's web interface at your default gateway. Avoid placing a filter anywhere except at the coax entry point—any other placement can disrupt your network. There are various MoCA adaptors available: 1.0 (250Mbps), 2.0 (600Mbps), 2.0 bonded 1Gbps, and 2.5 (up to 2.5Gbps). Your router probably supports 2.0 bonded but not 2.5. Be cautious about speed estimates and steer clear of Deca adaptors.
