Buying first house and need help with network set up
I’m fairly capable when it comes to tech but my own research has yet to get me to a point I feel like I know what I’m doing. In 2 weeks moving into a 3200 total sq ft house. Will have xfinity xb8 router with gig speed to the house. Previously rented a 2000 total sq ft house. Older home in Chicago. The signal strength was brutal through out that house. Especially on the far side (going through 2 bedrooms and 3 walls. But no more than 25 ft away) No plaster walls or anything but there was not a lot of open space. Every 10-12 ft was a wall or 90 degree turn/hallway. Because of this I used a deco mesh system. Found out the deco system I had capped at 300mbs I think. At the time I was paying 750mbs then upped to a gig. Dumb me
For my new house I have these questions:
- Can I use mesh system in tandem with moca adapters? If yes - can you use bridge mode?
- Read that I might need to get splitters rated for the speeds I want. How do I know where to put the splitters? Does my house not already feed each room from a main splitter (in the wall somewhere?)
- Also read that people suggest running a single cat line for the second moca adapter? How does that work?
- How do I find the main coax male connection. OR is there not a main coax if it all gets split up right after it comes through side of house.
Maybe these questions are irrelevant and some kind soul will just spell out what I should do like I’m special
These are kind of all over since my own research has been all over.
Appreciate the advice and if you are so keen on giving advice- if I could just request that you deliver it to me like I’m 5 haha.
