Need Help Planning Home Network Setup
Hello, I would appreciate any help this great community could provide. I have Optik TV and Internet 300 in a three-level townhouse (Garage and office on ground level, living space on middle level...
Ok, so I broke down and set up the network the way I originally wanted to do it:
On my first level, in the garage communication panel, I have the ONT > T3200M > Google wifi (main access point) > MoCA adaptor > Coax Splitter (1in 2 out)
I have a Google wifi in the office on the other side of the wall from the garage in wireless mesh mode so that I don't have to drill through the wall to the office.
I have a MoCA adaptor on the second (main) level and another one on the top (third) level. On both of these, I attached a Google wifi (wired mode).
My internet network is excellent now and I have over 300/300 everwhere in the townhouse. The only issue, of course, is that I can no longer run the Optik TV on my second (main) level and the ethernet comes through the Google network. This is ok for now since I only use Optik to watch sports and well...sports isn't on right now.
If I want Optik back, is my only option to put the Optik TV receiver in the communications panel and get a wireless box from Telus to install on my main level?
Thanks for everyone's help!

Community Power UserIs your townhouse pre-wired for ethernet? If yes, do the ethernet connections converge in that communication panel in the garage?
Hi,
Unfortunately no ethernet wiring and no access to run it. Coax is my best option. That or spend more money on more mesh they may or may not solve my problem.
