Need help with custom AP setup
Hi there,
I'm looking to switch out the Telus ISP provided routers to my own, specifically, the Unifi (ubiquiti) dream router 7. If anyone's curious, it's because of buffer bloat issues and wanting custom control. The problem is, my house is severely limited to Coax cables only and we barely have any sort of ethernet cables available.
For Telus, I current have the main router, a boost mini and the NAH (NH20A). The boost mini runs on their provided moca converter.
I was curious if this setup would work: Disable the boost mini, take the moca converter and move it to the area where coax would be and hook up another unifi AP.
It would look something like this: [NAH] → [UniFi Router] → [Telus ISP Router (used as MoCA sender)] → Coax → [MoCA Adapter] → [UniFi AP]
Thanks

The NAH/NH20A is the Telus router. What model is the device you are referring to as the "Telus ISP Router"?
Isn't the NH20A a Modem when in bridge mode? The ISP Router is the white arcyden trash cans (I believe this is what they call them).

Normally you won't have both of those devices. Are you sure the white cylinder isn't a Wifi 6 Boost AP? How many ports are on the back of it? The NAH doesn't have wifi on board so a Boost AP is usually provided with it. It isn't a router and you do not want to have it connected to a bridged NAH.
