Bridging + MoCa?
I just moved to a new place and set up 1 Gig home internet with Telus. The fibre comes into the ground floor of our 3-level townhouse, but ideally I'd like to have a wired connection to the second floor, where my home office and NAS will be located and where the wi-fi router should ideally be located. The current setup is an Arcadyan NH20A and with a wi-fi Boost 2.0 on its 10 Gig port. This works but the signal isn't great upstairs. There's also coax throughout the house, and NH20A has a MoCa port, as does the wi-fi router. Before I invest in any MoCa hardware, I'd like to know if it's possible to hook the coax directly to the NH20A and plug my own wi-fi router (because I need more control to open ports for the NAS) directly to a MoCa adapter on the second floor. I know I might lose a bit of throughput, even with MoCa 2.5, but it should be close enough for 1 Gig. Is that feasible?

Yes, utilizing the MoCA capability with the coax already in your home is a feasible option for connecting your router and NAS on the second floor.
Thanks. I guess I should have been more specific in my question: if the network box is in bridged mode, will the Moca still work?

If your network box is in bridged mode, the MoCA should still work, provided that the MoCA adapters are properly configured.
