Can I use an moca adapter to power a wireless access point?

Hello,

I'm looking to increase wireless signal coverage in my upstairs room.

Downstairs in our hall cupboard we have our router.
Connected to that router is a hirschmann moka 16 adapter which sends the ethernet signal through the coax system to my room's hirschmann moka 16 adapter, that's how I get my PC's wired signal.

I was wondering if I am able to put an ethernet cable between my upstairs Moka 16 adapter and the LINKSYS WAP300N to create a wireless accesspoint in my room.

Thanks in advance for the help.

It should work. Moca pretty much works like a dumb ethernet cable. At first thought you were asking if it would provide "power" as in PoE to the AP, that it will not do.

What I basically want, is to be able to use the access point in my room by linking it and thus providing the Internet signal through the mock adapter instead of the router
