Hello! New here on Lemmy. Pardon me if this has been brought up but I couldn’t find a result on my search. Anyway, I have Cable Internet right now. Later this year, when Fiber becomes available, I will subscribe to the FiOS service while maintaining the Cable Internet for a few weeks just to make sure that the FiOS service is right for my use case. At the outside entry point, there is only one Coax cable going into the where the cable modem is inside the networking closet. There is no Ethernet connection from the outside (DMarc?) of the house to the networking closet in the house. Question: can I use MoCA splitter on both sides to accomodate both services? Does anyone have experience on using MoCA splitters to bring two different kinds of service into one Coax cable into the networking closet? Thanks in advance.
Yes. The ONT will be outside the house. But, I need the Fiber-to-ethernet media converter there, too! Then a MoCA adapter so that I can use the coax cable from my former Direct TV service to bring the Internet inside the house, then, inside the house will be another MoCA adapter to convert the coax to ethernet to my router! This is my plan because there is no way I can bring fiber into the house. My network closet is in the opposite side of the house from where the ONT will installed.
Then you should definitely talk to the installer prior to signing up. That is definitely not a standard install, and I’m not sure they would have any way to weather proof an install like that.
I don’t have an answer for whether your MoCA plan will work since that isn’t hardware I’ve worked with. Sorry I can’t be more help.
