Ethernet to Coax connection

[coreimaaguirre93]

Could the MoCA adapter work in the other way? My wall does not have a coax cable but a box that says Broadband with jacks that work for Ethernet cords not coax cords, so if i use a MoCA devise will it still work? I am getting Xfinity connected but the person who lived there use to have AT&T, so no coax connection is there anymore.

I am entirely unsure of what you're trying to do here.

Sounds like you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what MOCA does for you.

U have now a cable-delivered broadband, fine. The service comes in on a coax to a modem, fine. So how are you distributing the broadband service throughout the house? A network wants you to have ethernet wall jacks (ethernet 8-pins, not phone jacks 4-pins) but most people don't have that, but people do have coax cabling for TV. MOCA allows the use of TV coax for networking with some performance penalty.

I think he has devices that have a coax connector, but he only has ethernet in the house... I don't actually know if it works the other way around. MoCA's are pretty expensive.

I don't know if they're bi-directional. Givne they're solely marketed for using Coax wiring, I'd expect they're not.

I assume your home is wired with Cat5e or Cat6? If so, any Xfinity only has coax connections on their modem/router, why not just drop either a third party replacement in there? Or ad an access point at the source? Modem/Router from ISP, coax connection to a another router/AP and then ethernet out to your wired home network? Going to be much cheaper than 2x MoCA

Network device with coax connector? Wow, I would have to go back to thinnet 10base2 daisy-chained cabling, I also had the misfortune to have to deal with IBM's proprietary coax-based LAN. But OK, let OP explains himself further.

I have use MOCA to deliver ethernet upstairs. It works just like powerline, but pumps the signal through the house coax instead of the house elec wiring.

But entirely unsure of what the OP is trying to do here.
