I ordered a PoE filter to place between the main line and the splitter. The PoE is very clean and straightforward on the outside corner of the house with one splitter and individual coax runs to each wall plate. We have Comcast 1200mbps docsis 3.1 internet, no TV service just internet. After lurking in this sub, was excited to learn that moca is a very viable option to get a hardwired network upstairs. I've known of the power line adapters for years, but never heard great things and dismissed them, kind of lumped the coax options in that same boat. That distance, plus the crowded wifi in the neighborhood, everyone at home all the time with every TV, phone, and laptop streaming hd video and zoom meetings, the wifi upstairs is performing as you'd expect. To get the wife hardwired for work I moved everything to her office in our bedroom - downstairs and on the opposite end of the house from the living room. Previously, all this equipment was in the living room where most of the network and internet accessing occurs. Stuck a switch on that, connected the wife's work computer and a unifi AP (powered with poe from the switch, very slick!). I replaced my Asus router/ap with a low power passively cooled computer with 4 nics running PFsense. I upgraded to Comcast's 1200 Mbps plan, which after a frustrating week of downgraded performance, I realized meant upgrading my cable modem to something docsis 3.1 capable - a bummer because I purchased my previous "gigabit capable modem" thinking I'd be future proofed. When quarantine happened and my wife began working from home I had a great excuse to put some money into the home network. After reading as much as I could find on the subject, I have some concerns with Docsis 3.1 and Moca 2.5 coexisting - however it would simplify things. I'm very excited, as after work today I'll get to install my new GoCoax Moca 2.5 adapters. u/RoweDent created this awesome resource on network theory u/tht1kidd_ has created a suggestion post regarding information everyone needs to provide when asking a question about their network There have been some excellent guides written in this sub, and we're always looking for more!
