Orbi 772 backhaul through MoCa
Hi everyone, I hope someone can help point me in the right direction, because both I (and Copilot, Gemini, and ChatGPT) have run out of ideas. I recently purchased a new mesh system (Netgear Orb...
A short update:
I have changed the splitter to a new 2 splitter instead of the 6-splitter.
I have moved the router right to the fiber modem and I disconnected the TP-link - this didn't work, so I connected it again so I have internet through the router. I'm really happy for all your help, but for now it dosen't seem to be the right solutions yet.

Can you clarify what didn't work?
Also, was the Orbi set up as a router (not in AP mode)?
I had no internet in both satellite and router. It was still in AP mode though I had issues in connecting to the Orbi through the backend. I succeded in changing to routermode and now it works. Do you really don't think my (for me) optimal setup can work?

Good. The orbi needs to be in router mode, since you took out the TP-link.
Is the satellite now connected with MoCA? If not, then try that next. Connect the Orbi LAN port to the adapter, and then connect the coax directly to the cable going to either room 1 or room 2. Then connect a second adapter to a satellite port, and then connect the adapter to the coax cable in that room.
Once you get the backhaul working, then measure the wifi speeds in the house, and see if that arrangement gives you good coverage (or not).
