Okay, so I am looking for a wired internet solution for my computer right now. The cable modem in my house is downstairs and the computer I want connected through Ethernet is upstairs. Obviously I don't want to run a cable all the way upstairs, so I'm looking into MOCA but I am not 100% certain I understand it. My question is this, I have a working coaxial port at my computer, can I just buy a MOCA adapter, plug it in through coax, and plug an ethernet cable into my computer? Is it that easy, because it seems when I look it up, people put the adapters between their modems/cable boxes. Can I just plug it in upstairs and receive internet through that, or is there more to it? Sorry if this question seems trivial, I just don't want to buy one of these if it won't work.
EDIT: So I have gathered that you need two devices, one in between the modem and then one that acts as a receiver upstairs at the computer. So a two pack would be about $120, so I guess my question now is how well do these things work? When I direct connected my laptop to the modem, I was getting about 300Mbps down, could I expect close to that with a MOCA or would there be a dropoff? And if so, how bad?
