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...
I recently purchased a new mesh system (Netgear Orbi 772) consisting of one router and one satellite.
FWIW, one option is to return the Orbi and instead buy two WiFi-7 extenders that can work as access points. Then you could use a 2-way splitter, connecting the TP-Link to room 1 and room 2 using D-Band Extend. The Netgear EXS27 would work for this. This lets you use existing wiring and your three MoCA adapters, and it would deliver your full ISP speed to both rooms.
Which TP-Link model do you actually have? (AC1200 is a wifi speed, not the actual router model)?
Is it possible for me to then use my current TP link to connect to the 2 rooms with MoCa and also as a WIFI-point. And then also to do what you suggest with 2 boosters insted of the Orbi?
Would you think it could cover my entire house 200 m2? (Otherwise it could "just" buy one more and connect though WIFI?)
Its my last day of returning the Orbi, so hope you can help me fast :-)
So just asking, the following configuration doens't work with the MoCa adapters?
ISP modem>Orbi RBR<><ETH/Moca adapter connected behind RBR>ETH/Remote MoCa adapter<>Orbi RBS?
