I have reviewed many topics for moca setup but have not seemed to find a solution for what I’m looking for. I am a Verizon Fios customer for Internet services only. I live in a fairly small sized apartment. My ONT is set up in my living room and was connected to the Verizon 1GB Gateway Router they provided., via Cat6 Ethernet. I was not seeing anything close to 1GB on wireless, more like 50mbps. I tried troubleshooting with a tech and that got me nowhere. I decided to purchase a third party router (netgear router nighthawk R800) I released my DHCP for my 1 gb gateway router. I have only had it on a day and have already the wireless speeds have increased.
On to my question- I’d really like to have wired connections but my TV and gaming systems are too far from the router and i don’t want long Ethernet wires everywhere. I looked into Moca adapter set ups. I should have researched a little more before purchasing, but I digress. The Moca adapters are the ActionTec Moca 2.0 coaxial to Ethernet (ECB6200K02) LAN. I followed instructions for connection but both green lights on the adapters are not lit. The coax lines are unlit. Is it possible for me to request for Verizon to enable Ethernet and coaxial at the same time so I can take advantage of the adapters and not have to return them? Maybe there is another solution, like Verizon enabling MoCa on the ONT. Any suggestions will help. I am fairly tech savvy but not an expert.
