[SOLVED] Beginner with MoCA, Need Help

[Zack24905]

Hey,
I recently bought a new router, TP-Link AC1750, and have upgraded my internet to 200 mbps and it works well in the living room where the modem and router is located. I currently use a powerline adapter for my pc in my room which is pretty far away and was looking into a MoCA solution. I was looking at buying two Motorola Bonded 2.0 MoCA adapters and connecting one adapter as so, coaxial cable from wall-MoCA-modem-router. (This is how i vision it to be setup, I may be wrong here) From there I was looking to put the other MoCA adapter in my room and plug an ethernet cable from the adapter into my PC. I just wanted to add some information, I do not currently have a tv service so I only have the one coaxial cable from my living room plugged into my modem currently. I was wondering if that would result in only having one ethernet port, which would go into my pc, or would I have an ethernet cable running from the adapter and also have an extended wifi range? I was ultimately looking for two ethernet ports in my room and also be able to have wifi. Is there any solutions to this as in buying a router and connecting the adapter in my room to the router and running ethernet from the router to my pc and ps4? I also read that my coax port in my room might not be the same as the one in my living room, in that case, is there any way to determine if MOCA would work for me? Can I buy one and test it in my room before buying two?
Thanks
Sorry if this is confusing I'm a beginner with networking, Thanks for all the help!

It is pretty much as simple as you describe. The moca vendors have diagrams for the different options to connect them but when you do not have a tv signal it is much simpler.

You can connect a small switch to the remote moca device if you want extra ethernet ports. If you need wifi in the remote location you can use a old router as a AP.

Figuring out the ports in your house is one of those impossible to say things. There is no way to know for sure if someone might have disconnected a wire in the attic or someplace else. In general all coax jacks in the house are connected to each other via splitters. Now if you have a fancy install they may all go back to a central box that has a big splitter to connect all of them.

I can't think of a easy way to test the coax. Maybe temporarily disconnect the modem when no one is using internet and see if it functions in your room. if it does it means all the cables are connected.
