Re: I only have WiFi but want to have WiFi + Ethernet/MoCA in my house
Can't edit my previous comment. I checked the blue cables in the basement + behind the RJ11 outlets in the house and there's 8 wires (4 sets of two) in all of them. So I'm assuming my house has in fact been wired for ethernet, but the previous owner just never used it and didn't re-wire the ends?7.3KViews0likes2CommentsRe: I only have WiFi but want to have WiFi + Ethernet/MoCA in my house
I have 5 RJ11 outlets (1 in each room) which all look pretty much identical to this Imgur: The magic of the Internet Since on the second cable the same blue cable is visible, does that mean my house is already wired for ethernet, but I just need to have the jacks re-wired? I wasn't able to find any RJ45 outlets in the house.7.3KViews0likes0CommentsI only have WiFi but want to have WiFi + Ethernet/MoCA in my house
I'm a first-time home owner + new to TELUS so I don't have much experience yet with home networking. My Fiber is entering in through the basement ( Imgur: The magic of the Internet- first image). An ethernet cable runs from the ONT to an ECB6200 MoCA adapter. From the MoCA adapter a coax cable runs to the living room where I have set up my Telus Wi-Fi Hub. However, I have coax outlets in each of my rooms (5 in total), which I would like to use to set up a wired internet connection throughout the house. None of these work right now (other than the one in the living room) , but in the basement there's a whole bunch of coax cables (Imgur: The magic of the Internet - second image), which don't seem to be connected to anything. e.g. they come out of the ceiling and go back up into the ceiling - it almost seems as if the previous owner connected the coax outlets in the house to one another. Based on this, how should I approach this? Should I simply get a coax splitter, put it after the ECB6200 MoCA adapter, connect all coax cables in the house to it, and put another MoCA adapter in each of the rooms? I don't believe my house was wired for ethernet as I exclusively have RJ11 outlets.Solved7.4KViews0likes7Comments
