Extra satellite or second router
Currently with Comcast and a 500 mbps plan. I have the RBK50 with one satellite. One of the kids rooms seems to have more issues with wifi due to distance and the number of walls the signal needs to go through. We do have a coax cable connection available in the room. Was wondering if I should get another satellite or if I can set up another modem in that room so I can direct connect the computer to an ethernet cable?
Appreciate your thoughts
correct. If you have moca in the xb6, then you'd just need a compatible adapter where you wanted service.

Most isp's only allow 1 modem unless you pay for another line.
But you could use a moca adapter (ethernet over coax)
Or add a satellite. either option would work.
The RBS40V has been on sale lately on amazon for pretty reasonable price. And it might be beneficial for the added coverage.
If I use a moca adapter, other than the router connection do I need to use one at every cable connection or can I just use them where needed? Wasn't sure if I needed one where I have the main cable box.
Thanks
You can use one where ever needed. Just make sure the coax cables are linked. I've seen someone who had them not connected in the utility room and couldn't figure out why the system wouldn't work.
