  • If the coax isn’t being used for anything, then that can make things simpler. But, just because you have coax wall outlets, doesn’t mean they are interconnected together. You will need to locate where the coax cables meet, so you can interconnect them together.

    If you are only planning two locations to be interconnected with moca (one at router and one at your room), then interconnecting the two cables with a F81 barrel adapter will create the link. Attach the moca devices to coax wall ports, connect Ethernet to router LAN and Ethernet to your switch, and you are ready to go. Enjoy the speed!






  • There would seem to be an amplifier somewhere in the coax line. Maybe the amp is located outside where the coax comes into the residence. This is an old-school method of signal distribution used in many apartment buildings. If you are only using the one wall outlet for the modem, then you may be able to remove the amp and the below CMCDT to direct connect the cable to the modem.

    The CMCDT takes signal in and passes thru the majority of the power to feed another outlet(s), while dropping a signal to the outlet. Look for other wall outlets and see if they also use the same device.






  • Is the fiber service connected to the white box in the cabinet or coming in somewhere else? I don’t see an Ethernet cable connected to the white box.

    You need to add an unmanaged Ethernet switch in to the cabinet and connect all the blue RJ45 terminated cables to the switch ports. Then connect one of the main router’s LAN ports to the switch or to a wall outlet, which will distribute the signal to the other wall outlets. Then you can connect the other Eero devices to wall outlets where Wifi is weak.
