I have capabiliity of connecting MoCA adapter at the furthest point for hard wire connection. Can I plug in the Mobi router to that MoCA connection and put into AP mode, then place the satellite anywhere else in the house I want? If not, what would be a better configuration.
I am trying to preserve the existing Netgear R6700 router that is less than 6 months old.
I haven't done it myself, but yes you should be able to use the MoCA adapter to connect the Orbi "router" in AP mode to the R6700 router.
