Question for the network gurus. (I didn't want the jack the other thread)
I'm looking to upgrade to a WiFi6 mesh router. As I understand the mesh systems, a wired backhaul is ideal with a limited number of hops.
My issue - I'm currently using an old MOCA router as an access point in part of the house. (No ethernet in this area, only old coax)
Can I connect the secondary mesh device (via ethernet) to the remote MOCA router and use that as the backhaul? Or will this extra hop significantly degrade performance?
Hopefully this makes sense. Bascially I want to turn the remote MOCA router into an ethernet connection for the secondary mesh router. (I'm sure my terms are all jacked up.)
