Another Firewalla Switch Question

If I connect two Firewalla switches together utilizing a “MoCA backhaul”, will the distant switch lose capability, or will it be as if the switches are directly connected via a single Ethernet cable?

Ex: Firewalla Switch - Ethernet cable - MoCA Adapter - coax cable - MoCA Adapter - Ethernet cable - Firewalla Switch

-Ethernet cables would be Cat6
- MoCA adapters are currently Actiontec EB6200 (MoCA 2.0), but would upgrade to MoCA 2.5 for throughput if fully functional.
-2x MoCA adapters would be directly connected to each other….no splitters or additional adapters on the bus.

Any chance the Firewalla team has tested this at the shop?

Outdoor box for AP7C?

Anybody figure out an optimal solution to protect an AP7C from humidity (and potential other weather)? I’d like to put one on my back patio ceiling (pre-wired by builder), but worried about long term effect of Tampa Florida humidity…especially during tropical weather. Anybody figure out a weather proof box…preferably low-profile that could be between ceiling and fan blades? The pre-wire is about 6’ from any edge of the patio, and protected by approx 16” of overhang (6’ away). Not sure how to protect it…and if I can just open it up…and spray the board with something to make it moisture proof. (I don’t have a 3D printer; but would be willing to pay someone if “this is the way”.)
