hi all,
I've been a long time user of FIOS internet, TV and phone, from the old Verizon days to now Frontier. My place was already installed with the FIOS ONT and 2 coax wires by Verizon when I bought the house, no ethernet cable was wired. Currently my set up is:
Coax -- HD Set top box -- TV
Coax -- MI424WR Rev.I (provide wifi to 10+ devices) -- my PC
a few more new devices were recently added to the far side from the house, and getting very slow internet over wifi. When I moved the devices closer to the MI424WR router, the speed increased significantly (by almost 3 times).
So I decided use my own router and I'd like to get rid of the MI424WR. Through some research, I was planning to go with option #5, the double bridge to keep the full functionality for my dvr.
However, I came across the MOCA adapter (ECB2500C) today, and wanted to check if anyone has successfully set it up while keeping the dvr fully functional. Ideally I'd like to have the following setup:
Coax -- HD Set top box -- TV (keep it as is)
Coax -- ECB2500C -- my own router to provide wired and wifi internet
As this post mentioned, it is just a plug-and-play:

Could anyone confirm if it works or not? Or is there any additional configuration is needed?
Thank you for the inputs!
