Due to very few options in my neighborhood, I have a very slow DSL connection and a faster 4GLTE connection and a dual WAN balancing router. My issue is that I really need my 4G router to be on the 3rd floor for better reception while my DSL router has to be on the 1st (without paying a ton to run the DSL line all the way upstairs).
I have coax ports in every room and I'm wondering if I can use MoCa between the DSL modem and the router while having the 4g modem plugged in directly to the router on the 3rd floor (so basically using MOCA as an extension of the WAN line).
So it would look like this:
3rd floor: 4G Modem > WAN1 in router
1st floor: DSL modem> MOCA adapter> coax port (1st floor) > coax port (3rd floor)> MOCA adapter> WAN2 in router
Note: The coax network is unused currently (I don't have cable) so there should be no interference.
Powerline Ethernet adapters
, in most cases it might be cheaper
