Noob Ethernet solution HELP!

[Vik With The K]

So I want to have Internet in my upstairs room , so here is a plan that I made how I want to have internet in my room.

I have 2 options, split a coax cable or use an ADSL cable and conect that a router.

BTW, I already have a modem and internet provider.

Would this work, or not?

 

Anyway Thanks!

The way you have it planned out, no it won't work. You either need Ethernet going from the modem to the upstairs or a separate service line going to the upstairs. The coax would need to terminate at a modem and the new upstairs modem would either have to connect to the existing modem, which I don't think is possible unless you have a coax out on the existing modem, or to a separate line. Connecting them both like you have planned will cause problems and most likely one modem will be blocked by the ISP.

Thanks! I will have to find another way then!

So, from what I got from this is that you have nothing upstairs but a coax and phone cables running up there.

 

So what i would do is pull an Ethernet cable though by attaching it to either of the existing cables and pulling that one out.

Then terminate it in wall jacks at both ends.

Upstairs i would have a switch and an access point.

 

You can use the coax cable with MoCA modems at each end. Then have switch and an access point upstairs

Or you could use the phone cable, use phone line modems at each end. Then have switch and an access point upstairs

Another option could be powerline adapters.

I already have powerline adaptors but they suck, my opinion.

And if I use MOCA adaptors can I just hook up one of those to my coax cable and use it like so?

Not sure, I have not experience with MOCA

I could quote things but i'll just let you read it

 

Maybe easier to understand?
