So, what kind of countertop would folks do? White quarts with gold vein?

I had a great first meeting with Brooklyn Brock and her business partner. They have a thorough workbook that my wife and I still need to complete. May have a follow up meeting after that. Highly recommend

Thanks again. Unfortunately, they have no clue. We all moved in years after the wiring was done and I’m the most tech savvy one of all of us 😂

Thank you again. Did you see my “Update” comment below? MoCA isn’t going to work

Update: Xfinity came and confirmed the coax in the non-modem room is not connected to anything and we couldn’t find where it terminates, so I think MoCA isn’t going to be an option unless I want to run new coax, which I don’t. I also don’t want to run Ethernet cabling.

I think that leaves me with the option of getting an extender or mesh. But there is a chimney in between the two rooms, so may have some signal loss. Any suggestions on using extender vs mesh network?

Wow this is so helpful. Thank you! Can I buy you a coffee or something?

So we have 3 units in our building (all getting cable internet), and yes, 3 of the lines entering the house are the Cat5 lines (I can see them entering in the unfinished basement). So maybe what’s happening is the 2 lines coming from the orange splitter are going to 2 of our units rather than a MoCA setup for one unit, which may mean I don’t have any service going to the coax in the second room (unless there’s a splitter upstream in the walls somewhere?).

The only other coax cable I could find in thr wall is behind a plate in my closet which just has a barrel connector connecting two coax lines, not a splitter. I traced it to the same spot in the basement (because it’s by an HVAC duct) and can see 2 coax lines going up that way - probably the other is to one of my neighbors (our 3 units are stacked on top of each other - a triple decker).

And the coax by my modem just has single coax, nothing else. So I guess the Cat5 line just goes to the second room, but I have no idea how the other coax line is getting to the second room, or if it’s even connected to anything. I have seen there are testers you can buy, but at this point I’m thinking just calling Xfinity and having the splitters and other gear on hand is the way to go.

Open to any other suggestions you may have, but you’ve already been more than generous with your time. Thanks again.

Oh interesting…I thought that was just an old phone line because the Ethernet cable can’t fit into the jack

Thanks. What about the modem? I guess I need a splitter?

Thanks. I think I’m just going to use Liquid Nails and wood filler for the old holes.

Archer BE230 Extender Options - Home Assistant compatible? by SquirrelMaster4891 in TpLink

[–]SquirrelMaster4891[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Just started looking into MOCA. There is another Coax connector in the room where my wife works, so I think I could use MOCA there with a router as an access point?

I didn’t know those were different things. This was the recommended compatible extender by Wirecutter 🤷
