Questions about MoCA

[BraulioLaguna]

I have a few questions about MoCA that I couldn't find on the internet:

1.-If i use a MoCA gateway (correct me if that term is incorrect) like an ARRIS / Motorola Surfboard SBG6782-AC, can I just connect it to any coax port in my house or do I need to put it in a specific place in my network to supply the MoCA adapters spread around the house?

2.-I've seen a lot of videos and read some stuff mentioning the need of coax splitters and some coax adapters coming with the MoCA adapters in their boxes, they weren't very clear if some extra adapter is needed or if the splitters serve a purpose other than connecting a MoCA adapter and a television via coax at the same time, so do i need a splitter or extra adapter if i'm only going to connect a MoCA adapter.

3.-And is any household that has a coax based network compatible MoCA? Or does it have to do with the area and ISP?

I'm on Comcast by the way, if that helps.

I have not used that particular modem but I suspect the cabling method is pretty much the same as using extra box on the modem side.

Pretty much all the coax connection in your house are all connected together using splitters. The few splitter the better. It is better if they all split off one big splitter than daisy chain but it will still likely work.

Unless the coax in your house is very old it will be fine. Many years ago they used to use splitters that only passed analog tv channel ranges. They also used very low grade coax since there was no high def back then.

Really all you can do is try it and then trouble shoot the issues. You can easily switch the splitter if you have to replace a coax cable that tends to be more a problem.

I am going to bet you can just hook a moca box to any jack in the house and it will talk to the router.
