Coaxial to Ethernet HELP!
Hello,
I have a modem on my main floor and recently discovered that my whole house is wired for Ethernet from the previous owner. I see there is a Coaxial cable coming out of the floor and runs to the basement. The coaxial cable comes out into my utility room where there are ethernet cables splitting off through the whole home. My modem doesn't have a second coaxial port so I'm trying to figure out if a splitter would work and then a moca adapter in the basement would work or not. I would appreciate any advice. I don't want to move my modem downstairs because the wifi would be terrible down there.

Do you have an ethernet cable where the modem is located? If so connect that ethernet cable to the modem. Then connect a switch in the basement and connect the remaining ethernet cables to it. If you don't have ethernet where you modem is located, you can get two MOCA adapters and connect them on each end of the coax cable. This assumes you have another coax cable. If not, you should be able to use a MOCA compatible splitter and adapter in the basement. Then you would connect an ethernet cable to each end.
Hope this helps.
