Ok I have a dilemma. The place I’m living in right now has ONLY cat6 cabling throughout, no coax. My current ISP can utilize this cabling but has horrible down speeds (50mbps at best.) but there is another that offers 1 Gig down speed for the same price i am paying now. Only problem is, the ISP still utilizes coax for their modems and I have no way of connecting it since since there is no coax to connect to obviously. Does anyone know if a MoCA converter does coax in > Ethernet out > Ethernet in > coax out > connect to modem. thanks in advance!

Having cat 6 in your home is ideal. I connected the modem to the router first, then plugged it into one of the cat 6 ports. After that, I set up a switch and linked all the ports so everything now has ethernet.

The system does not operate that way.

You connect your outside link via a single modem, route it through your router—possibly acting as both modem and router. Use a switch if you need additional ports, then run Ethernet directly throughout the house using Cat 6 cables instead of relying on the modem for each endpoint.

Moca relies on the top frequency ranges on Coax, while Coax-based ISPs use the lower bands. This setup wouldn't function. Back when we got internet through Coax, technicians simply cut into the wall and laid a cable—this is common practice in the US at least.

Does the structure consist of multiple units without direct entry for cabling? In a single-family setup, place the modem/router/AP unit there and run Ethernet cables through the wall to the LAN side.
