Hello! I currently have the Fios Quantum Gateway router set up, and am trying to connect another access point to our upstairs bedrooms using a MoCa adapter. We have 1gb and triple play. The current set up looks something like this :
Living room:
ONT >> Coax &. >> Two way splitter >> quantum router & TV box
Ethernet >> quantum router >> TV box
Bedroom:
Coax >> MoCa adaptor >> ethernet >> second AP
However, currently this set up is not working for us and I'm really now sure what to do. The MoCa link light on the adaptor doesn't light up, and I'm not sure if it's an issue with the setup, the cables, this apartment's wiring, or what š£
If anyone has any troubleshooting steps I can take, or if there's something obvious I'm missing, I would appreciate hearing very much! Thank you

Yeah you might. The first step is you need a three port splitter instead of the two port Verizon installed. The third port would connect to the coax wall jack next to when the FiOS comes in. That coax will probably go to the basement to a splitter and on that same splitter the coax may go to your bedroom. The coax may also be running outside if you are in a second floor apartment.

It sounds like the coax in the bedroom in part of your coax network. In the apartment is there coax wall jacks or is it just ran around the baseboards. The setup should be
ONT > coax > three way splitter
1. Quantum router
2. Set-top box
3. Coax leading to the bedroom
Basically the coax that is in the bedroom has to somehow connected to a splitter coming off the ONT.

Thanks for the response! There are coax outlets in the bedroom which I was trying to use, how would I get them connected to the ONT? Trying to do this with the adapter so we don't have to run cables

Do you have a white communications panel in your apartment? That's where all the coax jacks will originate from. If so you can place a cable splitter there and connect all the coax wires.
