It is fed from the wall to the back of the modem (combo for wifi and tv) by coax then to the Cox box with an Ethernet cable. Clearly you understand this better than them.
Frankly i am trying to solve a very specific problem. I have a wireless sprinkler controller on the outside of the house that is not getting a good signal. Will most likely add another wireless controller for the pool on the other end of the house and will most likely have the same signal issue (-73db which i understand is pretty low). So all of this trouble so my wife can water the plants when she wants. Go figure |
Never heard of that brand of Modem.
That the router is fed by coax means they are running ethernet into the house over coax. So far so good.
But that specific UBEE looks like it lacks the ability to manage MoCA which I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around since it distributes wifi and breaks out the ethernet to another box which does not make a lot of sense because that indicates it has some facility to manage a network. Bizarre.
You can still use coax MoCA adapters but it gets a little more complicated and without knowing the specifics of each piece of hardware I'd be reluctant to recommend it. The installation would require the use of very specific splitters and termination to avoid back feeding the network and causing potential issues with your picture quality and network quality and there is a high likelihood that internet would not work at all because the adaptors would have no bridge to authenticate back to COX.
Basically if I can't see all the stuff on site I would have to make assumptions and I hate doing that because it can go sideways real fast.
So Amplifi might be your best option. As in headache free installation.
