MoCa Adapters
Hi there, I just recently bought two MoCa adapters today to connect my devices via wired. I have a T3200M modem located downstairs. Here’s the question: How do I connect the first MoCa adapter do I ju...
We have an optik tv. So the coax outlet in downstairs near the modem may not be working? If so, Using MoCa are pointless? Or there still be a chance to use them?
The coax in the wall goes somewhere. It typically doesn't go from room to room. They typically fan out from a central location where the cable TV company line comes into the house. You just need to determine if the coax outlets in both rooms are connected to each other on the other end at that central location.

Yes, it is possible to connect Ethernet devices (except Optik TV) to the second Boost device, effectively using the pair as a wireless bridge.
- Thanks! Will test it tonight. Also, do I need to activate anything from the modem in order to make the MoCa built in work?
If this doesn’t work I may return the adapter and just get a telus wifi booster. Just wanna ask it has a one ethernet port at the back right? The first node (downstairs) is to connect it to the modem and the second (upstairs), is it possible to connect my devices with it and basically it will become “wired”? I do have a ethernet switch so I could connect more devices. - NFtoBC
If the coax outlet downstairs does not work, you will need to repair it, or replace it with either a fresh coax line, or Ethernet.
- Understood. So firstly, I need to connect a coax cable from the modem to the coax outlet (downstairs). Second, use the MoCa adapters connect it to the coax wall outlet/connect any devices using ethernet cable (upstairs). Also, what if the coax outlet downstairs didn’t work at the first place? Is there any chance to make the MoCa work eg. use another adapter and connect it to modem’s coax outlet?
