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 fl...
Yes, that's correct! Your setup would look like this:
Network Box in Bridged Mode: This allows your network box to pass the internet connection directly to your MoCA adapter without interfering with routing functions.
MoCA Out: Connect the MoCA out port on your network box to the coaxial cable.
Coaxial Cable: Run this cable to your MoCA adapter on the second floor.
MoCA Adapter: This device will convert the coax signal back into Ethernet.
Ethernet Patch Cable: Finally, connect the MoCA adapter to your router using an Ethernet patch cable.

Official Support TeamYes, 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.
Great, so all I would need is one MoCA adapter, since the network box has MoCA out:
network box in bridged mode -> MoCA out -> coax -> MoCA adapter -> ethernet patch cable -> router?
