I've recently moved into my girlfriends house and saw that her router was connected through as coax port. (pic #1)
I'm not unfamiliar with networking nor hardware but have never seen a router connected this way, I did a little digging and found out the house was connected to the NBN by HFC hybrid fibre coaxial, I read that this uses your houses existing coax wiring / coax ports as a connection point to the router, please correct me if wrong. It sounded alot like how a powerline adapter works but built into the router.
My question is if this is how HFC works how do I connect my desktop to the coax port in my office? (Pic #2)
I haven't found any sort of adapters that seem to be right besides moca adapters but seeing as the router is already connected through coax what do I use on my end?
Sorry if I'm rambling or if this doesn't really make sense I'm truly at a loss as to how this setup works...
TLDR: how do I connect my desktop ethernet to a coax wall port.
Thank you
