![]() Will I Need to Update Any of the Coaxial Hardware? How Many MoCA Connections Can I Have In My Home? The system appears only to permit communication via an end-to-end piece of coax which means you lose any other communications over the same coaxial cable.How Fast Is MoCA? Are There Different Versions?Ĭan I Use MoCA With My Existing TV Service?Ĭan MoCA Work Directly with My Existing Broadband Equipment?Ĭan MoCA Adapters Share Coax Jacks with Other Equipment? You'd be dual-purposing the coax and there's no indication that MoCA works in such a manner. ![]() To answer the question in your comment, will this work: Buy un-terminated cable, a crimping tool and connectors and you won't have to worry about holes being too small. If the upstairs coax moves freely through the hole AND you can push/pull a Cat5 cable along the existing coax downstairs, Ramhound's suggestion is going to be the best option. Plug adapter into power upstairs and the ethernet cable to the device(s) of your choosing. You'd get one adapter plugged into power on floor one and connect to the router. Some demarks will have multiple coax terminations, one for each room.Īllowing that you cannot make coax from floor one to floor two, powerline adapters are not usually a problem in multi-family buildings. ![]() That would require a second coax already in place, which you've not mentioned. You could use MoCA if you had the ability to go from the router to adapter one, then coax out of the first floor to join the coax there up to your level. Understanding the difficulty of creating/adding new wiring, I think you may be left with few alternatives to a wireless or powerline adapter type of connection. The modem/router needs to stay downstairs as that is where our living room TV and other primary devices are.īelow is a rough sketch from paint, sorry if it is unclear. What are my options to get wired internet upstairs? It’s my understanding I can’t connect a second modem/router combo as I would need a second internet plan. I don’t have any coaxial wiring in my house, just the two wires that terminate in my living room/bedroom from outside. I have also ready about MoCA devices but it seems like you need to have existing coaxial wiring in the house for this to work. We have had issues with our neighbors electrical panel and ours in the past. I have read up on Powerline adapters but I’m worried about the signal with this being a two family with a mess of wiring done (Old single unit split into two). Currently the WiFi is just okay, as it has to connect to the router a floor below. Since it is an apartment I don’t want to get into running wires through walls, so is there any way to get wired Internet into my bedroom upstairs so I can hardwire my computer/TV. One end of the split goes through my siding into my living room (this is the coaxial we use to power our modem/router in the house), the other end goes up to my second floor and goes through the siding into my bedroom (I’m assuming this was for TV service in the past, I don’t have it hooked up). Before it enters my house, there is a coaxial splitter. One goes into my neighbors basement (for their cable service) and the other runs to my side of the house. The cable for our units runs from the street onto a demarc on the neighbors side of the house, and then from that two coaxial runs exit. I currently rent one side of a two-family apartment. I’ve tried doing my own research online but haven’t been able to find anything that matches my situation.
