Can the actiontec t3200m use coax output?

The actiontec is located on mainfloor. Wifi from t3200m can't reach upstairs but I somehow have a coax cable labelled "Shaw upstairs" sitting right next to the t3200m. Upstairs is a few ethernet ports coaxial plates that I can really use.


My question is am I able to connect:
Actiontec t3200m coax as an output to coax to a upstairs router with coaxial input to ethernet cable?

Any special thing I need to do aside from buying a router with coaxial input?
  • Yes, the coax can be used on the T3200M. There are settings in the admin web interface to manage it. At the other end, you will need a MOCA adapter to connect the coax to Ethernet for the rest of your network.

  • If your plan is to add another router you should do a bit of research on this first to know what you are getting into. There have been a number of discussions here in the Neigbourhood on the correct topology, required settings and caveats (especially if you have Optik service).
