Switch ONT from Ethernet to coax

Question

Hi! We have TV, Internet and Phone in our home from Verizon. The ONT (Model ONT1000GJ4) is located in our basement. It is currently provisioned for Ethernet, but since our home is not wired for Ethernet (only coax), the router (G1100) is also located next to the ONT in the basement. My understanding is that coax can only handle up to 100mbps. If that is the case, and since our internet plan is 100/100, can we switch from ethernet WAN to coax WAN without any negative effects? This would also allow us to move our router into the main living area, which will enable us to connect more wired devices to it and should also improve our wireless connections. Thanks.

Yes that is correct. Call Verizon tech support and tell them to switch you to MoCA. If you get the run a round on the phone you can also try @VerizonSupport on Twitter or Verizon Direct at dslreports.com.
