I have a house with an external garage. I have Verizon FIOS with the wireless gateway which feeds my set top boxes, and provides wireless internet to my home.
However, I cannot get wireless signal inn the garage (large metal building). it sort of works with an extender in the home garage and both garage doors opens, but this is not a good solution.
There is a cable connection in the eternal garage, and a STB box which works fine. I think I can put a splitter on the coax and send a feed to a MOCA adapter. Then connect another router to have wifi in the shop.
The question is: Can I set the second router so it will share the same network as the main router? That way I can access my Networked Storage to access manuals, stream music etc in the workshop?
Maybe I do not really need a router, but an extender connected to the MOCA. I am open to suggestions. Verizon sold my service to Frontier who has no clue, based on my calls to technical support.
Thanks in advance
Richard
