A gamer wants RESPONSIVENESS, which can only be truly achieved w/ wire. What’s acceptable for browsing or downloading files is typical NOT acceptable to a gamer. You’re almost always better off w/ a wired connection (ethernet, powerline, or MoCA) for gaming purposes for reasons of responsiveness and reliability. Think of it as a "virtual wire" between the routers, which avoids running an actual wire between them.Īs far as gaming, the problem w/ wireless is latency (and depending on the game, perhaps bandwidth too). But between the routers, it's only wireless. Ethernet only exists between the primary router and modem, and between the second router (the bridge) and its wired clients. Doesn't require any ethernet wiring between the routers whatsoever. Then any devices on the ethernet port(s) of the second router are bridged over wireless to the primary router. The whole point here is to eliminate a wire between the two routers by converting the second router into a wireless client. I suggest visiting Amazon and just checking the reviews, see what others are saying.
In fact, Cowboom has had good deals on these MoCA adapters from time to time, about $90-110 for a refurbished pair.
Which brand? Most of ones I've helped ppl with were Netgear ( ). Only real limitation I know of is that they won’t work w/ satellite systems, only cable. And given the performance compare to the alternatives, I think the price is justified in most cases. But sometimes it's the only viable solution. It also tends to be more expensive than wireless and powerline, which doesn't help its popularity. Overall, it's a great technology and under-utilized. Speeds approaching 100BaseT (100Mbps) are not uncommon. I haven't used them myself, but have helped others employ them. The adapters are connected to the coax cable that exits the wall.

Yes, you can use TV with that same cable at the same time. Yes, you can use pre-existing coax cable lines.
