If I insert a Coax splitter and wire up the WCB6200 near the Cable/DVR box and run ethernet from the extender to the SmartTV, would this work? And for WiFi, if I use the same SSID and passwords from the Gateway wireless settings (or use the WPS sync, per the WCB6200Q user manual) will the extender wireless connect and work correctly (with coax cable as wired backhaul)? Keep in mind the extender is ActionTec and the Gateway is Technicolor. There is no CAT5/6 in the house, and I can’t practically speaking add them. USE EXISTING COAX WIRING TO CREATE AN ETHERNET NETWORK to achieve a fast, reliable Ethernet connection between a router and any device with an Ethernet port. If downstairs it would just be 1 wall or maybe 2). Extended WiFi downstairs (with wired ethernet backhaul), so I don’t lose connection when I go outside (very small house/patio, but the 5G upstairs has to go through both floor and multiple walls.
#ACTIONTEC MOCA ETHERNET TV#
Wired Ethernet to the TV (for Amazon, Netflix other), andĢ. What is Ethernet Similar to MoCA in that it is also a wired technology, Ethernet allows for switched data networking.

With claims of up to 2 Gbps Wi-Fi throughput (1.7 Gbps 5Ghz/AC combined with 300 Mbps) and up to 1 Gbps MoCA throughput the WCB6200Q seems to be a good choice for someone looking to expand their network to the far reaches of their home.Ĭonfused about MoCa and this Wireless AC Extender. Using that MoCA Network as a backbone, be a Wireless ‘Extender’ to extend the reach of your current wireless networks.Convert your in-home Coax wiring into a MoCA ‘Ethernet network’ without having to run new Ethernet cables through your home,.Yet the WCB6200Q isn’t built to be a standalone router, it has been designed to fulfill two distinct, but related, roles: WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) with Push Button Setup Actiontec MoCA 2. That leaves you with two other courses of action, both of which piggyback on your home’s existing wiring: Powerline network adapters (which use electrical wiring) and MoCA network adapters.And looking at the specs you’d think it was: Hardware Overview WCB6200Q Wireless Network Extender The Actiontec WCB6200Q 80211.ac Wireless Network Extender (169.99 List) looks like your average, ordinary wireless router.
