Fios in bridge mode Orbi issue with Moca adapter
I have the Fios router connected in bridge mode which then connects to my Orbi. This is on my first floor and everything has been working fine. I decided to get a moca adapter to hard wire my upstairs PC. I purchased the Actiontec ECB6250 and connected it to the wall coax upstairs. It provides a signal and my PC works, but as soon as I do this, my Orbi wifi does down. If I unplug the Orbi and replug then the wifi starts but my moca adapter does not produce a signal. It is almost like only one of them can work at a time, as though they are competing to control the network. What am I doing wrong ?

I used MoCHA for some time with great success (until I switch to Powerline with less success).
Your problem may be related to the FIOS setup. One of my motivations for change was the tangle of coax cable and splitters that was required to get my Orbi onto the house coax. Alas, I know nothing about FIOS.
How is the Orbi connected to the MoCHA adapter?
