I will try to tell you the best I can. I live in a house where the tower signals are weak and don't reach far. This was my attempt to get better internet. There is a coax port on my wall, and I am trying to wire it to my PC. Would this work? The plan is: coax port -> Moca adapter -> ethernet switch -> my PC, also to my dad's laptop. We will run long ethernet cables because they are in different rooms. If there are any problems with this or if you have other ideas, please let me know.

The other side of that coax port goes to a TV antenna or a satellite dish instead of a computer.

And where does our TV get its electricity from? I really need way more details, like a clear picture showing all the wires connected to it.

So, I'm going to add some suggestions: I'll print out all those specifications at regular intervals down the line on each wire.
