Configure with just one Actiontec MoCa adapter.
Set up a single Actiontec MoCa adapter to change coaxial cable to Ethernet for your Asus GT-AX11000 router. It’s possible to use just one adapter, but you’ll need to ensure compatibility with your router’s port. Your ISP and satellite provider have different internet services, so you may need to verify the adapter’s specifications. The coaxial cable is being provided by your ISP and should connect directly to the router without a coax port. If the coax light doesn’t turn on, check connections and power settings. Let me know if you need further guidance.
TL;DR: Use a modem to connect your router, not a MoCa adapter. The modem translates the ISP signal into a format the router understands. Plug the coax cable into the modem, then connect an Ethernet cable from the modem to the router. The MoCa adapter handles Ethernet over coax, but you need it on both ends. This setup works when you already have a coax connection between rooms but lack Ethernet.
