Update/CAUTION: Per goCoax, these adapters can only be used to connect to a MoCA Access controller, not to another “CPE.”

FYI/FWIW ... Just stumbled over a few similar example schemes when looking for images for a different thread.

I suspect that the TV+ setup is currently working because the G3100 is still functioning as the primary router, with the Orbi setup only handling the WLAN duties. The same could be done in the “relocated” setup if TV+ proves troublesome with the FiOS router eliminated.

MoCA WAN spec of the G3100 is moot for OP, per their latest diagram, since they’re looking to relocate the router to enable an Ethernet WAN link between the ONT and primary router.

The STB is only getting QAM TV signals direct from the ONT. As mentioned, the ONT offers no LAN connectivity; the Verizon FiOS MoCA WAN operates at MoCA 1.1 channel C4 (975-1025 MHz), but is disabled when using a superior Ethernet WAN connection to the router. The FiOS STBs operate at MoCA...

The router wouldn’t necessarily need to be co-located with the ONT at this future date, presuming you run a couple Cat6 lines between the ONT location and router … one for the WAN link and another for LAN connectivity. p.s. By the way, the updated diagram (with corrections) would work for older...

It can, but only as a more limited (lesser throughout*) alternative to an Ethernet WAN link. (The ONT has no “LAN” connectivity to offer.) * Frontier has ONT’s that support a full throughput MoCA 2.5 WAN link built-in, as a fallback when an Ethernet WAN link with the router isn’t possible …...

The setup at the FiOS TV box is likely problematic if planning to feed the MoCA-dependent TV box via the RF pass-through of a MoCA adapter. (Such MoCA adapters use a built-in diplexer [dual filters], rather than a simple splitter, to strategically direct signals by frequency, resulting in the RF...

Not a retail device, but interesting nonetheless. InCoax Launches 5 Gbps Over Coax With MoCA Access 2.5 Aggregation

Thanks for the heads-up. Interesting products. Curious to see how well the “03” works with DirecTV environments; I’ve been peddling use of the “25GW” setting of the Frontier FCA252 adapter in a few satellite-related threads I’ve come across over time, but haven’t had any nibbles. I’m also...

All goCoax models pass VLAN tags as-is. MoCA adapters to avoid Re: VLAN tag stripping are the Translite models, likely owing to how they implemented the multiple Ethernet ports. (That is, at least the TL-MC84; I haven’t seen any comments Re: the MC85, good or bad.)

How were you planning on arranging the Cat6 run? Was that also supposed to be via a flat cable through the window (which wasn’t mentioned in the OP)?

Then couldn’t both a Cat6 cable and RG6 coax be run when the Cat6 line is installed?

Does the Cat5+ line between the ONT and new G1100 locations already exist?

Heh, thanks for the followup. Glad it all worked out.
