Hello,
I recently had a new cable box installed and my tech moved my router out of my office (away from my desktop) so it sits right next to my cable box. I have coaxial running into my house and when it gets to my TV there is a two way split: 1-goes to a coax outlet in my office 2-heads to behind my tv where it is split 3 times (router, cable box 1, cable box 2).
I want a wired internet connection in my office and I don't want to rip up my walls. The best solution seems to be a MOCA adapter. If I plug a single Actionec MOCA into the coax socket in my office will it get an internet signal from the line coming into my house?
The other option that I really don't want to do is as follows:
Run an ethernet from my router to MOCA 1, run coax back to my first splitter use F connectors to separate the lines (eliminate my 2x split), run coax from my office wall to MOCA 2 and run ethernet to my desktop. This way would cost me almost twice as much, adds a lot of extra connectors/wires to my setup and is harder overall.
Can I get internet in my office with one MOCA?
PS: I have no problem with my tech moving my router I just wish I'd thought about how I was going to get internet to my office.
Not sure if I have FIOS or DSL.
