Hi-
I'm a recent Fios customer, hoping to add to an existing(?) MoCA network, but need advice. When Fios was installed, some existing (older) coax cable was present in the house, but other parts of the house had to be freshly wired. There's a Fios Gateway router (G1100) in the upstairs office connected via ethernet to a desktop computer, and a splitter in the living room that connects to both a set-top box and "Fios Network Extender". I have some peripherals connected via ethernet to the network extender, including another computer.
My understanding is that when the upstairs computer communicates with the downstairs computer, that would be over MoCA? However, I also see on the product specs that the upstairs gateway router is capable of MoCA 2.0 while the Fios Network Extender is only capable of MoCA 1.1. If I inserted a MoCA 2.0 apadter (i.e. Actiontec ECB6200K02) in between the splitter and the Network Extender, could I increase the network speed between the 2 computers? And I could still utilize the network extender for wi-fi range?
Also, I wanted to place a NAS at a third, new location where some of the older coax is located. Here is a picture of the location:
I don't know if this splitter was installed by the Verizon tech or not. The top and middle coax on the right are from the older wiring of the house and (presumably) connect to the overall coax network. The lower right coax is new cabling left by the Verizon tech, which does not connect to anything. I assume this was left in case I wanted to run cable to the other side of the room. The coax on the left does not connect to anything, but I assume this is where the prior user connected their television. Can I connect a NAS via MoCA adaptor (i.e the Actiontec ECB6200K02) at one of these ports, to have it connect to the larger network?
Thank you!
