Moca 2.0 bonding and RT-AC5300?

[Claghorn]

I'm reading about a Moca 2.0 bonding adapter, and the product info says the router must have support for bonding. This confuses me greatly because only one ethernet cable is being plugged into the router, so I have no idea where the bonding support comes in.

But aside from that, does the RT-AC5300 running merlin have this support? Is there configuration that would need to happen, or is is automatic?

Just wondering if the more expensive "bonding" adapter would be worth getting. Thanks for any info you can provide.

The more I think about this, the more I believe the line about needing a router that supports moca 2.0 bonding was really some silly marketing guy's attempt to say "needs a router that supports gigabit speed", and certainly the RT-AC5300 is a gigabit router.

I think this means that if your router has its own moca port (or ports) then the ports need to also support bonding in order for the moca adapters two coax ports to form a bond with the routers moca ports.
