Think of the product and the existing coax in your house as a substitute for Ethernet cable. If you have a cable modem, you can use the product to put your WiFi router in a different room (maybe more centrally located for better WiFi coverage). Attach Ethernet patch cables to the Internet port on the modem and Network port on the router. Then attach the patch cables to the adapters and the adapters to to your rooms’ coax ports. You can also use the product to attach an Ethernet device or switch in another room to your router. This is my use case. I connect an Ethernet port on my router (downstairs) to an Ethernet switch (upstairs).

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not positive what you’re asking—but if your router has internet access (ostensibly via connection to cable modem), the connection is via Ethernet cord (RJ45) from router to MOCA (which is connected to coax) and then at other end of coax (in other room), it’s from coax to MOCA and Ethernet from there to PC. Both MOCA devices have power adapters also plugged in to boost/convert. Clear as mud? It’s fairly simple—one caveat is that bandwidth was awesome but the ping rate is slightly higher (marginally) than a direct Ethernet connection from router to PC—tested w/ a 150ft Ethernet cord vs via MOCA /coax). This isn’t an issue for most users (gamers like my son complain but it’s only a difference of say a 30ms ping to an 80ms ping).
