Ethernet Port Doesn’t Work

[dberg528]

Hello. I have a big issue. So throughout my basement, I have cat5e and coax cables. One of them is right next to my ps4, and my television. I’ll get to that later. In my basement, I also have an ONT, which only has coax cables, and has a splitter which connects all of the ports around the house with cat 5e and coax to a this thing called a “PDI MoCA bypasser” which is hooked up to that and my feed. My router is upstairs. My TV downstairs is connected through coax, but I can’t use the Ethernet port for my ps4. I was wondering how I can enable that Ethernet Port to be used. Will buying a MoCA adapter and connecting that to the splitter and the feed work? Will I need to move my router next to the ONT? If not, then what should I do?

MERGED QUESTION
Question from dberg528 : "I have Internet, but my router isn't wired to my Ethernet Base"

Hey, so I have internet, and my base has a splitter the thing you plug the splitter into, as as well as a power supply to that, and whenever I tried to plug my router in to get internet through my cat5e through the walls, the connection messes up. I'm wondering what I need to do to be able to connect my router to that and still have TV and internet feed.

Some pictures would help or links to the equipment. I am not sure what your base is and you can't use splitters with Ethernet (coax cable splitter or maybe it's an Ethernet switch ??). Normally the connection from router to devices is straight forward.

I suppose that what you call "splitter with power supply" is a switch. If you need more ports than available on the router, you plug that switch on the LAN side of the router, not the WAN side.

I made another post about this in more description. Sorry for being so vague.
