Cable to Ethernet adaptor

[Archivic]

So we are moving into a new house, which has cable (coaxial?) outlets. The modem / router will be plugged in the upstairs living room. The problem for me is that my room is in the basement, which I can't run an Ethernet cord from the router to the basement. My room does however, have a cable outlet. If I was to buy an coaxial cable to Ethernet adaptor would it work?

It should, which means if my experience with this is anything to go by it won't

[RadiatingLight]

I don't think so.

your best bet would be to use powerline ethernet

[jnic]

yes it should work expt i don't think you plug the coax into the modem coax output, i belive you want a pair of moca adapters or your could use powerline adapters

moca adapters converts ethernet to coax then coax back to ethernet

Depending on how its set up, you possibly could put another router/modem down there

What you would be looking for is MoCA adapters they work well but are quite expensive for a good unit, so it's usually not worth the cost and just better to physically install a cable or use powerline as suggested.

Your looking for a moca adapter. There really is only one company that makes Moca 2.0 adapters and they tend to be about $160USD for a pair. They run at 400-800 Mbps depending on the adapter. There is also the requirement of having Moca capable splitters and a moca filter on the main cable line coming in from the Cable Company. As Moca uses the upper frequencies that the cable company doesnt, but those moca singals can leak on to the cable network without the filter and cause interference.
