Reply to comment by gourmetguy2000 in Can I hook modem up to a coax splice I found behind a blank plate? by jaxclayton

I use a moca adapter to move internet from the main floor into the basement. It's full speed gigabit and it's awesome!

I’ll check this out. I’m using eero WiFi mesh. Unfortunately my pc is hardwired to an eero as far as it could possibly be from the gateway eero. So gaming I DC constantly and even browsing is slow.. maybe this will be a solution vs moving my router downstairs

Isn't that like a mesh system where you can put another access point between the two and improve the network because you know a Wi-Fi mess Network should be stable and fast.

The only reason you should need hardwired is like because you're a professional gamer.

It sounds like you're not getting the most out of your current setup already and you should maybe think about how to make that work better first because I don't think it's set up right.

It also be you have some very odd interference like you have a wall with a whole bunch of metal stuff hung on it or something. I've seen that in some houses where they like have a bunch of metal plaques or pots on the wall which are really decoration but fake Rustic Stuff.

Yeah it did work pretty well. I’ve called the eero company and tried to work through the problems I’m having on getting a good signal with my desktop and nothing really worked. But yea basically we DC due to time outs in online games and am experiencing a bunch of packetloss. I’ve spent weeks calling ISP and Eero and testing stuff out and came seem to fix it which is why I game to the conclusion I want the modem downstairs with the pc’s.
