I have the exact situation. Like 8 coax lines in the home but no Ethernet. Can someone point me in a consumer-ready direction? I imagine I can do this:

- put cable modem in basement where line comes in.

- do something that goes from router to into 2-3 coax lines heading into the home.

- have some little box in those rooms that expose an Ethernet port.



I’ve used this model for a few networks and had a good time. Minimal setup and supports a WPS-like security.

See the diagram in this guide: https://www.motorolacable.com/documents/MM1025-QuickStart-re...

Note both the usage of the PoE (point of entry, not power) filter, as well as the MoCA network encapsulating both DOCSIS and Ethernet traffic.

Some set-top boxes and modems are MoCA compatible, but I prefer using a discrete unit.


Oh wow I don’t even need to isolate my incoming cable Internet from it.

Thank you for these links. This is exactly what I needed to move forward.
