Need help configuring Deco with coaxial if possible
Hi TP Link Team and Esteemed Community members,
Have a large, long house with Fios gigabit. My modem is in one corner of the house in the basement and home office and primary bedroom on the second floor on the opposite side of the house. Fios provided an extender that I hooked up to coax which worked well enough but still experienced signal dropping in some corners of the home.
I stuck the TP-Link base station close to the ceiling in the basement. It’s only about 30 feet from the x90 repeater but wireless signal isn’t great as demonstrated by speed tests from the second x90 and in the Deco app where signal appears to be weak between the two.
Is it possible to use TP-Link’s x90/x60 mesh system by hooking it up to coaxial via MOCA adapters? If so, how would I do this?
I would love to take advantage of the house's preexisting coax network somehow since wireless is lackluster for me.
Do I have any options with the gear I have on hand here to set up an independent mesh network and ditch the Fios extender (it’s free via a promo anyway) or should I return this stuff and possibly call Fios back (shudder) to see if I can get another extender?
Here’s the equipment I have on-hand right now:
-
(2) TP Link Deco x90
-
(3) TP Link Deco x60
-
(2) TP Link AC1900 routers
-
(5) MOCA 2.0 adapters
-
(2) Fios new/white routers
Some of the gear is old from previous homes but I recently purchased the x90s and x60s specifically for this home along with four more MOCA adapters so I can have face-melting internet in every corner of the house/yard. I'd hate to have to return the stuff if I can't get it to work.
Thank you for your time!
