Re: Wired Connection ion FiOSSimply install a 1Ghz splitter on the coax in the bedroom. Connect one tap to the STB connect the other tap to the MOCA bridge.
coax===splitter+===STB===TV
+===MOCA bridge---cat5---WAP
You can get a used Actiontec on ebay for $10 or less.
Or you can get one of the plug and play bridges listed in the FAQ on Amazon.

So I need the MOCA bridge AND a wireless access point? Any recommendations on a good one? Is any old splitter fine as well?
Thanks again for all of your help. I really appreciate it.

kudos:28 | As outlined in the FAQ I posted previously, there are two ways to accomplish a MOCA bridge.
1) You can buy a plug and play MOCA adapter such as the Actiontec ECB2200. Simply connect it and you're in business. These run about $80.
2) You can also use an additional Actiontec MI424WR router as a MOCA bridge. This approach requires a little bit of configuration of the second router. Instructions are in the same FAQ. A used Actiontec router can be had on ebay for less than $20.
As far as the splitter is concerned, make sure it is rated 1Ghz or better.

| Can you recommend a splitter to use by chance? I will look around for the MOCA adapter. So the MOCA is also an access point of sorts? Or do I still need that as well.
Sorry for not posting in two months, family crises and people in the hospital etc. So my priorities have not been on fixing the internet.
Thanks again.

said by Trooper:So the MOCA is also an access point of sorts? Not sure what you mean by access point. A simple MOCA adapter is a media converter. It converts ethernet frames on coax to ethernet frames on cat5 (and visa-versa). It does not contain a Wireless Access Point (WAP).
If you use a second Actiontec as a MOCA bridge as previously suggested in this thread, then the second Actiontec serves as:
•a MOCA bridge
•a 4 port switch
•a Wireless Access Point

| What I want is to have internet at the other end of my house. The router is on one end, but need internet at the far end.
I have a set top box in my bedroom.
What I want to know (baby step it please) is exactly what I need and how to set that up in my bedroom so that I have internet (wifi) in the bedroom (and that end of our home).
I thought the MOCA is an access point?
So based upon this, what do I need? Links would be helpful.
Thanks.

kudos:28 | said by Trooper:What I want to know (baby step it please) is exactly what I need and how to set that up in my bedroom so that I have internet (wifi) in the bedroom (and that end of our home). There is simple and there is cheap.
Simple:
1) Pick up an ECB2200 on Amazon.
2) Get a 1Ghz splitter. Connect the coax from the wall in the bedroom to the splitter. Connect the STB to one tap on the splitter. Connect the ECB2200 to the other tap on the splitter.
3) Get a Wireless Access Point. Connect the WAP to the ethernet port on the ECB2200.
Done.
Cheap:
1) Pick up an Actiontec MI424WR router on ebay.
2) Connect the splitter per step 2 above.
3) Follow the instructions in part 2 of the following FAQ:
»Verizon Online FiOS FAQ »Can I get an ethernet connection in a room with only coax?
Do not connect the router to the coax until instructed to do so in the FAQ.
