I do have a coax plug

next to my pc. But what i was saying is i dont need a coax cable thaT goes from the moca filter to coax plug?

The filter is on the main line coming in from Comcast, to stop your MOCA network from going on to their network. That filter is place before the two way spliter that is first installed on that line. From that Two way spliter one side goes to the modem and the next side should go to a TV, or a Splitter if you have multiple TV's connected. All you need to do is verify that your Coax plug in your room is active, the easy way is to plug a cable box in and see if you get TV, OR if the modem was plugged in there previous that means you have an active port. The only coax cord you will need is go from the wall to the moca adapter in your room, thats it. Then an Ethernet cable between the moca adapter and your computer. 

 

Id venture a guess that if the modem was working fine in your room, that putting the adapter between the wall and modem should be fine. WHY? Because more splitters between the modem and Comcast means more loss. 2 way splitters equal 3.5dB loss, 3 way are either 3.5 on one port and 7 on the other ports or they have balanced 3 way splitters that are 5.5 dB loss on each port, 4 way splitters are a loss of 7dB on each port. However you want to minimize loss of signal between Comcast and the modem as best you can.

I am watching a video for installing a mova and in the video they show a guy installing the moca adapter but he installed it with a wifi exttender router. I didn't know you need a router! Like he installed the coax cable to the moca adapter first and he plugged the tv and ethernet and etc and when he came to the second room he installed an extender.

The moca WiFi extender is optional, oh and its not a router just a WiFi extender.  As there is such thing as a Moca router, Verizon uses them with their Fiber Service. Just buy two standard bonded moca adapters dont over complicate it. Unless you want to extend the wireless to your room as well.

So let me get this straight. So the moca adapter has 2 plugs one says coax in and one says tv. Okay the coax cable coming from the wall i will plug it to the coax in on moca. And then my tv box cable plug it in too on the moca adapter. And then i plug an ethernet cable to the modem?

I dont know why u said i need the 2 packs of them. Everyone is saying i only need 1 moca adapter and then i enable the moca from the modem and then i plug the moca in my bedroom and it should work.

 Comcast may or may not support that config. Here's the deal, I dont rent shitty equipment from Comcast, I own my modem and router. I refuse to pay $120 a year for the shit they are giving out. ALSO what type of moca adapter does the modem support? The two port adapters are BONDED adapter that support 800 Mbps, the unbonded adapters only support half that speed. You can try it and maybe the Comcast rep will know how to turn this feature on maybe not. I dont have much faith in their tech support. Either way Good luck, and respond back with your results, because Im heavily interested in this technology myself.

I just checked my modem support moca. I still need 2 adapters?

How is that better or easier than a simple EoP adapter

Like what's your point? Moca is not

good? Sry didnt understand u

Its complex setup with Moca vs EoP

 

You need to weigh your options

 

Moca:

More speed ~700mbps

Slightly more stable

More things to go bad

 

EoP:

Less speed ~200mbps

Can freakout if a high power device is turned on by the powerline

Quick setup

 

In both ping are similar

 

For most case EoP is more than enough for anyone. Unless you honestly need more than 200mpbs. 4k streaming, gaming, plex server all run well on EoP. Moca is overkill for most applicatons

Its better because its not susceptible to the same bull shit that power line adapter are. I never said it was easier. Because it does require some knowledge of how the cable network works and how cables are setup in your home. You have a higher chance of Moca working then power line adapters. 

 

Oh and most of the posts I see on Power Line adapters show them getting no more than 30 Mbps in most cases, where posts on Moca show it getting close if not its max speeds. Plus god help you if your computer and modem/router are on two separate phases in your power panel, because then your really going to have a bad news bear situation. Then there is the fact unless you have relatively new wiring that these adapters dont work for shit either.

Do i have to plug the tv into the moca adapter? Can't i just leave my tv cable into the wall? And just plug the coax to the moca adapter?
