Connecting MoCA Adapter between incoming DSL connection and DSL Modem

[brenpmon]

Hello forum,

My new apartment is hard wired with coaxial cable. I would like to connect a MOCA adapter directly from the DSL line to the coaxial splitter, and then connect my modem/wireless router on the other end. I've keyed in a little diagram about how I am intending to do it. I have done a lot of research online, and it is still unclear to me whether or not a MOCA adapter can be used between the incoming DSL line and the wireless modem. Any ideas if this will this work?

[Incoming DSL Line] <--Ethernet Cable--> [Actiontec ECB2500C MOCA
Adapter] <--Coax Cable--> [MOCA PoE Filter] <--Coax Cable--> [In-Coax
Splitter-Out] <--Coax Cable--> [Actiontec ECB2500C MOCA Adapter]
<--Ethernet Cable--> [Modem / Wireless Router]

I've also attached a very lame diagram.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I may be wrong, but I do not think this will work.

The DSL 'line' is basically a telephone connector/connection (smaller than the RJ45 LAN connector). Can you not simply use a long telephone extension cable to plug into the modem directly? Or, a data electrician can convert the appropriate LAN cable run for telephone (the DSL line) use.

I will be seeing if my recommendations are anywhere close, but either way I know you will get the correct guidance here in a short time.

This won't work because the DSL signal has not yet been de-modulated. The MOCA box must be downstream of the modem.

I've read that it doesn't work. Not sure why, but for starters, MOCA might need some layer 3 packets and the modem input is layer 2.

I'm accustomed to DSL being twisted copper pair then RJ-11 phone wire to the modem, whereas coax cable is often for cable modems. But perhaps there's a medium converter to coax involved here. If it's U-verse, you'll probably be better off with a cable modem ISP, if that's possible, for speed reasons.

U-Verse is a good example - xDSL copper coming in to a NID, the NID converts to Ethernet to the RG (homerun), and then the RG has a MOCA endpoint to the remote STB's, along with WiFi and RJ45 ports...
