    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    In fact here is an example of the general setup mentioned. This pic isn’t my specific setup but just a pic copied from a web search.

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    I have a call into the fiber provider, but I have a feeling they install an ONT outside and use the coax for power and the Ethernet to connect to the router. Sound reasonable??? I’m not sure that’s what they do, but I believe they’ve provided guidance to the builders who wouldn’t randomly put...

    Those are coax and cat 6. Both go back to the patch panel.

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    I don’t think there’s fiber run to the area where the patch panel is located. So are you saying that they wouldn’t connect the cat 6 outside the house? I assumed that’s why it was sitting there.

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    Correct. With weep screed and flashing. All good. My home inspector has already reviewed. 🙂

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    So here is what’s on the side of the house. It’s FTTH and there is a coax and cat 6 cable coming from the house. Would they normally put the ONT outside?

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    Then I’ll put a router in the basement, and connect access points as AI Mesh nodes on the main and 2nd floors. Now that I know I will have wired cat 6, I think that removes the issues. And MOCA is a potential backup or can be used for additional connections that can be hooked into the wired...

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    So apologize if not clear. I know I was clear in my own mind. 😁 Had an update today. Looks like a cat 6 drop to the main floor and 2nd floor is now done. So there will be one Ethernet connection back to the basement patch panel. So my plan is to start with a RT-AX88U in the basement and create...

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    Have been reading up on MOCA adapters and seems like it’s pretty straightforward. Coax into one end and Ethernet out the the other and power, and you’ve got a 2.5 Gb port.

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    Definitely don’t need landline phone. Not sure on TV yet. Have been contemplating YouTube TV. Even if I used some of the coax drops for TV, there would be some left over unused, and they are all home runs to the basement AFAIK.

    It’s not Comcast. It’s a local provider in North Georgia.

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    Thanks. It’s fiber. My experience is with Comcast and DOCSIS, so not sure exactly how things get setup, but it all is ingressing in the basement.

    I know zero about MOCA. Any good tutorials for a newbie?

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    One reason I thought about this was the reviews were good, and one of the two multiple 5 GHz networks seemed like a solid plan for backhaul. Dedicating a network for backhaul seemed like a better plan if wired isn’t an option (which is still my preference).

    Yeah, you’re correct with your assumptions.

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    Why? Not disagreeing but rather asking because I have no idea why.

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    It’s relatively new, wood frame and drywall. There is coax in every bedroom, living room, etc. I hadn’t considered MOCA. How would that work?

    3 story house approx 5K sq ft with limited ethernet wiring

    Hi everyone, I've looked over the other threads and while I took away bits and pieces, I wanted to ask my specific question here for a specific answer. We are buying a home that has a finished basement, a main level, and a 2nd story. Total area for all three floors is approximately 5K sq ft...

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    Thanks. I may end up having to try this firmware. Wanted to have some degree of confidence that 160MHz works, but looks like it will be a continuing trade off. And I get the risk of known vulnerabilities, and the risk is acceptable based on where I live and my use cases.

    or you could just keep your insults to yourself. I won’t respond because I don’t want to get banned, but feel free to put me on ignore.
