Homeplugs (ethernet over power) are fine for some things, but they add so much latency to the network.
Wired is so much better.

Is it possible to use moca if I have cable internet? There’s coax in my office and living room, so it would be great if I could us them for moca. I know both are connected to the cable coming in to the house because I have set up my modem in both rooms to check which has better wifi coverage.
There will be a Cable TV splitter where the coax comes into your house - possibly a basement or utility room. One cable in, several going out to the various rooms. If you put your modem there, then you can use all the coax runs in your house for MoCA networking.
There’s a utility box on an exterior wall labeled “Television”, which also has a bush planted in front of it. I don’t think I can put my router here… :(
Yes. Just connect one moca adapter to your ISP’s modem/router via Ethernet. If the router already has a coax port you only need a single moca device at the other end. Then plug the coax cable into one of your home’s cable junction boxes. Your home’s probably got a cable splitter somewhere if you have more than one cable outlet. Unplug the cables you’re not using at the splitter. Now plug in another moca adapter at another cable junction box and wire that into Ethernet to distribute to your device, eg. Computer or network switch.
I think I follow. Top is how I have it set up now, bottom would be how I could do moca?
