I started out using powerline and I am now using MoCA with great success. However, wanted to give you the benefit of my experience. I can't say the same for these Moca things which were never the most reliable way transfer data, are rarer than high end graphics cards, and have a very small sphere of experts to draw knowledge from.Ĭlick to expand.I agree with jimscreechy that the ideal way is to pull ethernet if you can. They are easy to come by, are fairly well established technology, and a fairly cheap alternative that you are almost certain will just work out the box. I'd just use powerline ethernet adaptors. Personally if you can't lay the proper cables, I'd not use these Moca dapators. If it is possible, pulling new cable through using the old one (attaching the new one to the end) is what I'd try, though this, like a journey through the jungle, would be an adventurous undertaking snags and hiccups abounding along the way. Pulling the cables through may or may not be possible depending on how they were laid (loose or secured) and how much access you have. I'm not sure how easy it would be, but if your could run ethernet cables on the same run as the current coax that would be your best (but perhaps not easiest) option connectivity wise.

I'm not a fan of using existing non purposed cabling to transfer data, but I know sometimes you have to make do.

Its just another way of introducing issues losses and limitations in speed an bandwidth. The Moca adaptors (we used to call them Balams back in the day) are something you should avoid if you can. I think the same set up for a switch with ethernet would be a good move.
