MoCA Connection on fibre 3G

Tony_Wong
Neighbour

I have a Fibre 3G home internet (no TV)and currenty setup is :

Moderm 10G port  to switcher (2.5G)

Moderm (basement ) Moca Port to Telus wifi Hub(model :B20T)

Most time I can get approx 1200~2000M download speed and 2000~2800M speed.

 

I want to use router and set moderm to bridge mode ,then I cannot use the MoCA port to connect the cable to upfloor since router and switcher have no MoCA port ,but all pre-built wires are MoCA  cable and they can support 2.5Gbe speed.

After review ,I have two option ,

1) MoCA 2.5 Adapatrp 

I found Frontier FCA252 MoCa 2.5 Ethernet Network Adapter in Ebay and it's too expensive for get a  new one ;

2) try to get another B20T telus wifi Hub since which has both MoCA and ethnernet 2.5G port .

Do you all know how much it would cost if you went to buy a new B20T telus wifi Hub ?
Because from the top of ebay, the sellers are all in the US, and I'm worried that cross-country logistics will take a long time.

And which mehtod will be more reliable ?

Hey @Nighthawk @xray would this be something you'd have insight into perhaps?

It's not clear why you need to use bridge mode on the modem and a different router. Perhaps you are leaving out some details about how you want your LAN to be ultimately configured.

 

If you only have coax running to the rooms where you need Ethernet connections then you have no choice but to use MoCA adapters or Powerline adapters. MoCA is more reliable than Powerline, especially in older homes where power wiring can be a big unknown.

 

I don't have fiber service so I really don't know much about the modem but I suspect you can't bridge over the MoCA port.
