Actually looking at your diagram you can move your WIFI / Ethernet router to any live coax drop in the house so if there is one at the TV move the router there and run ethernet straight to TV.
Most residential installers don't put the router in the best place for performance, they put it in the easiest most convenient place for them.
Around here 90% of the time they stick them inside the metal utility box in the laundry room. You could literally not pick a worse spot.

And yes, splitter at TV, one leg to cable box, one to MoCA extender.
