I have Fios tv/internet/phone. I still have the router they provided me years ago, Actiontec MI424WR Rev. 1 - Gigabit Wifi N-Router.
Doing some reading it shows that this router supports MoCA 1.1, not 2.0. I've looked into MoCA 2.0 adapters, ECB6000 and ECB6200 from Actiontec. They only have two Ethernet ports on each adapter, so I'd be limited to wiring my TV and Roku or Blu-Ray player. Can I take advantage of the newer MoCA 2.0 speeds with these adapters, since my router is only MoCA 1.1? Or, what do I need to get MoCA 2.0?
The Fios router is located on the first floor. Upstairs I have an Actiontec Extender, WCB3000N. It's a dual-band N-extender with 2 Ethernet ports. It only works well in the room it's in, for the most part.
I'd like to upgrade to wireless-AC, and buy a reasonably priced AC router (Asus, Netgear, etc.), but I'd still have to use the Fios router as my main router. Fios has a MoCA 2.0 AC1750 router, but it's $200.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
