Wifi 6 MOCA Backbone Setup
Hi community, If I setup a Wifi 6 WAP on each floor, can I just plug-in the coax backbone, or do I still need to use the MOCA adapters? I'm excited to get fiber installed next week, but...
I have the Wifi 6 WAP plugged directly into the MOCA connector on the T3200M. Works great. My understanding is that much like cable TV the signal may degrade with multiple MOCA devices connected but I don't think it should be that significant. The unit I have has 3 ethernet ports (one is 2.5G) so you use then instead of a MOCA adapter:

Thanks. That's great to hear. If the uplink is through the coax into the T3200M, I guess the ethernet is still limited to 1Gb. The T3200M is only a 1Gb router. For my purposes, I should be able to use the upload through the coax, and then use all 3 of the ethernet ports for hardwired devices.
