I'm considering upgrading to a AC router. I have the Fios Actiontec N-router (MoCA 1.1) mi424wr rev. 1 downstairs in the corner of a room connected to the room coax. Upstairs in my room I have a Actiontec wcb3000N dual-band wireless N-extender connected through my coax. via a 2-way splitter. (the other side to Fios set-top box)
On another thread, I was told a AC1900 router is the best bang for the money. I'm looking at Asus-rt-ac68u or 68p, Netgear r6400, 6900 or 7000, and the TP-Link Archer c7, c8, and c9.
I prefer to have the AC router upstairs in my room for increased range and speed.
How do I connect it to my network? Do I need a MoCA 1.1 or 2.0 adapter to connect it to a new third party router since my Fios router is MoCA 1.1?
My other option, maybe, is connecting a new router with ethernet to my existing Actiontec extender (only MoCA 1.1) and the extender has two Gig-E ports. I'm not sure if that's even doable w/o a MoCA adapter.
My primary Fios router is only MoCA 1.1, so even if I buy a MoCA 2.0 adapter to connect to a third party router in my room, won't everything revert to MoCA 1.1 since my router and extender are 1.1?
I hope there are some members who can help me out.
