New to this forum and hoping someone can help me make sense of all of this terminology and technology before I spend money on equipment. I sincerely thank you in advance for your time and hope I can return the favor some day!
I currently have AT&T 1000 Mbps fiber internet service. As is usually the case, AT&T installed the ONT where it was convenient to them, which places my Arris BGW210-700 router in a bedroom in the back corner on the first floor of a 3900sqft two story home. Needless to say, the Wifi is poor in many parts of the first and second floors. I have looked into mesh systems, but the house is wired for cable with coax jacks in many rooms and we use DirecTV for TV, so it is unused. I am about to install a smart TV in a second floor room that is as far away from the BGW210-700 router as it could be in the house, but with an available coax jack. In an effort to provide a wired internet connection to that smart tv and extend the Wifi in the house at the same time, I am looking into the Actiontec ECB6200 Bonded MoCA 2.0 Network Adapter for the second floor.
Assuming the coax between the room where the router is and the second floor room where the new TV will be installed are connected,
I am wondering if the attached picture would be the correct way to go about providing a wired connection to the second floor, while extending the existing Wifi as well.
The room where the TV will be installed already has DirecTV bridge and wireless genie waiting. I would use a wired ethernet connection from the WEB6000Q to the TV for smart functions and the DirecTV would run on the Wifi signal from the WEB6000Q.
