@jweaver0312 , again, thank you for your expertise on this matter. I believe the box downstairs is an Arris XG1 and the one upstairs is a Pace XiD X1. Would you happen to know if both of these will be amenable to the workaround or do you have some sort of master list for the various models?

Ok, let me put this all together to see if i'm understanding you correctly:
-There is software in the gateway and in the STB that needs to communicate for X1 to function
-Comcast uses some method to prevent the STB and gateway from communicating through anything but the built-in MOCA interface on the gateway
-As such, connecting a STB to a moca bridge over coax and a second moca bridge to an ethernet port on the gateway will not work.
-Bonded MOCA 2.0 does not function properly on the gateway, so you will never get gigabit over MOCA and functioning X1 STB's on the same physical network segment.
Possible solutions:
-Run a drop of cat6
-Fios
-???
That pretty much cover it?

So, the X1 issue is basically an artificial restriction put in place by comcast?

Interested to hear from anyone who has a functioning, gigabit connection through MOCA

The CGM4140COM does have Bonded MoCA 2.0. I have a very similar setup but I use the gateway as the MoCA Controller with only one WCB6200Q and it does not work. It connects but randomly disconnects. If you use two adapters as one bypasing the XB6 (turn its MoCA off unless you have X1), it should be able to work. I traced the issue back to the gateway itself, last I heard it is being invesitagted, since the issue does not occur on the TG1682G (regular MoCA 2.0)
@jweaver0312, i appreciate you taking the time to reply to me. Have you conclusively determined that the Technicolor gateway is the issue with the dropped signals and not a cabling issue (i.e, have you replicated the issue with a short run of RG6 from the TG to the bridge)? Why would X1 be affected by disabling MOCA on the gateway and using another device on the LAN as the MOCA controller when everything remains on the same network segment? Is that some sort of software restriction placed by comcast?

I wanted to check and see if anyone has a similar setup working before I order parts. Currently, the house had gigabit service, two STB's and phone. The downstairs I have wired for ethernet and I have multiple ubiquity endpoints giving good wifi coverage to the entire house. Everything works fine, however, i have a gaming pc upstairs that I would prefer be wired so i can get better than the 400-500mbps i get through wifi.
The PC is in the same room as one of the cable boxes. I've been led to believe that the Technicolor CGM4140COM has MOCA 2.0 bonded enabled. Assuming cabling and splitters are in spec, If i split the coax upstairs and added an Actiontech or Motorola MOCA bridge, I should be able to get full gigabit speeds, however, I have seen conflicting reports on this working with the CGM4140COM. Does anyone have a similar setup working? If not and the issue is the Technicolor box, has anyone had luck with using a pair of MOCA bridges (one connected to the router's LAN) with the MOCA on the Technicolor disabled? I did a similar setup for a friend with fios using a pair of Moto MM1000's (bypassed the MOCA on his router because it didn't support channel bonding) and it worked perfectly with him getting full gigabit bandwidth to his pc and all 6 of his STB's operating perfectly.
Just trying to figure out if running a drop will be more or less of a hassle than getting comcast's equipment to play ball. Feel free to speak in tech to me.
