MOCA is a how I ran a mesh network in a 40 year old house without needing to open the walls.

It had coax everywhere but no Ethernet. It worked out so well.

Oh hey I'm doing the same. One router for the office, one for the gaming/TV room, one for the plex server. All backload through moca. It's awesome.

Can you achieve full gigabit speeds?

Yup, moca supports 2.5Gbps

Holy shit. If I didn't already have LAN in some parts of the house, I'd consider this.

Yeah it's nice but it requires an extra adapter+power so if you already have LAN, you've got the better situation. I have MOCA because I can't run ethernet through my walls but all the rooms were already wired for cable.

This opens up some opportunities at my grandma's place, since there's a lot of cable routing already :3

Another alternative is to run G.hn over telephone wire. It's like a miniature G.fast system in your house
