“Do I plug one of the adapters straight to the wall, then use the “TV” out port on the adapter to go to the modem? Then ethernet from modem to router? We have Plume Wifi pods, so there are only 1 ethernet jack on those. Thanks.”

Firstly, your wall connector must be MoCA-enabled via your hardware, to use only one adapter; e.g., newer Verizon FiOS hardware have built-in MoCA. I tried simultaneously using a Motorola MoCA (and another user said he tried this Actiontec MoCA) with the Ethernet AND pass-thru cable ports, and both signals didn't work reliably. Motorola Tech Support told me using BOTH adapter outputs has never worked well as far as he's experienced; Motorola designed theirs mainly for routers, not TVs AND routers together. Another user advised a coax signal splitter to separate the coax / TV signal and Ethernet, and that worked for him. In your case, TV-to-modem, and Ethernet-to-modem/router MIGHT work (but I wouldn't bet on it). I would try the coax splitter solution.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
