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?
