Moca and internet
Can I add a moca adapter to cox service that only has internet? I currectly am using their phone/cable modem by Cisco DPQ3212 and Netgear R6400 wireless router. I dropped the cable and phone service. I have coax outlets thru out my 2 story house but have weak wfi signals everywhere. Was hoping by adding the adapter I could use a direct wired ethernet to Roku for better streaming.
Any help appreciated.

Hi, adding the MoCA adapter is not something Cox would support; and in doing that it's possible it may degrade your Internet signal. In looking to strengthen your WiFi signal you may want to find a way to directly connect an Ethernet cord directly from your Roku to your router, consider purchasing a WiFi extender to strengthen the signal, or you can order a 2nd line of Internet service for that outlet, which will require a 2nd modem, or you may consider relocating your Internet equipment to a more central location in your home. Let us know if we can be of any further assistance to you!

Adding another internet line would require additional fees. Also I have a wifi extender that does not help. The only way to extend ethernet is to run wire thru the attic and down thru the walls and I am not sure I can do that without hiring someone who could.

Pulling an Ethernet through the walls would be the most reliable solution but probably cost a little more. MoCA adapter could also work but I'd price out running the Ethernet first. The overall costs could be comparable.

Would updating the cable modem also help?
