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.
Thank you. Great info. Appreciate the thought you put in. Wish I really knew the specifics of your Ubee analysis. So off to Amplifi. Will post the results.
