Hey everyone, I’m a complete noob at this; I’ve done some research but I’m still confused on whether MoCa is the solution to my problem, so here is my situation:

I need to get a wired connection to my PC, but my router is on the other side of the house (2 story townhouse), so I was thinking I could use MoCa to connect to the router via the coaxial cable outlet I have in my room. A couple things:

I think my router is a DOCSIS modem, cause it’s all in one peice (like no router + modem) and connected to the wall via a coaxial cable

I have no idea if the coaxial in my room is even connected to the one downstairs connected to my modem, is there a way to check?

Because I’m only looking for a connection for one device, and MoCa requires 2 devices, is it even possible? Are there better solutions for me? Any help would be appreciated, I just can’t stand running Roblox on 120 ping anymore lol.

    You can do a quick check of your rooms coax outlet by connecting the current modem/router to the other rooms wall outlet and see if it connects to the Internet. If not, then the coax to the room isn’t connected to the coax network. You’ll need to locate where the coax enters the building to find where the cables come together and connect them together with a splitter. This is where a Moca POE filter would be installed on the splitter’s input port.
