XBT-8 MoCA installation

My upstairs has a very weak wifi signal. House is wired with coax through out. I don'y understand if I only need 1 MoCA adapter for 1 room, where does it go? How does the router get a signal to the coax running upstairs?

PoE filter installed already.

It goes in that room where it is needed. It gets connected to a coax line / outlet there. An Ethernet client / computer then gets connected to it. Make sure that the MoCA feature in the XB8 is enabled. And make sure that any coax splitters that are in between it and the XB8 are MoCA compliant (5-1675 MHz) ones: https://www.amazon.com/ELECTRONICS-Balanced-Splitter-Compliant-5-1675MHz/dp/B01552LYL6
