Requesting a connection to Ethernet via Coaxial cable.
Confirming your request is about setting up Ethernet over coaxial cable. The link provided appears to be a purchase link for that solution.
MoCA works alongside DOCSIS and TV channel signals effectively. It’s commonly adopted by most cable providers to access guide data and other internet-dependent functions on set-top boxes. It cannot function with satellite TV.
You're referring to using Verizon services, especially with coaxial lines. It's important to note that ONT coax is for TV signals, while your router uses coax for MOCA internet to streaming devices. To use both, you'll need compatible set-top boxes from Verizon. Thanks for explaining the setup!
Your home setup already has coaxial ports in certain rooms, with cables extending down to the basement for the router and switch. You could potentially route Ethernet through the existing coax by connecting it to the switch and then using adapters for your devices. However, this might restrict speeds to lower than what you'd get with Wi-Fi. The coax cables are typically reserved for specific areas, so this approach could work if planned carefully.
If the cables are kept separate (every connection goes down the basement), you can connect multiple MOCA adapters (one per line) to bring Ethernet into each room. Costly, but effective. Yes, MOCA is quite quick—rated around 600 Mb/s. My previous Verizon MOCA setup managed 150 Mb/s without trouble before I added Ethernet to the ONT outside.
Yeah, my dad is a contractor and I picked up some tips from him about setting up fishing Ethernet through the attic. Haha. You can run Ethernet inside the house without drilling holes (except for the wall plate), but you need to understand the process and know your way around the attic. Also, you’ll need tools to properly terminate the Ethernet cable—definitely not too difficult. Good luck with the MOCA adapter setup; they’re pretty pricey.
I just discovered on Amazon DirecTV adapters and others are confirming they fit what I need. They seem much more affordable—should I give them a try? Also, in my previous home I had a 50-foot Ethernet cable from the router to my bedroom, but my mom didn’t like it and stuck it to the wall.
From what I've learned, deca adapters aren't as quick as moca 2.0 models, though they're very affordable. It all comes down to your internet connection speed. Yep, my dad would have me sneak in the attic before laying duct tape because he knows how to do it right inside the wall. Lol
