Hello, I've tried searching for this unique setup, but I can't seem to find it. Sorry if this has already been posted.
Here's the materials I have:
2 extra Verizon FIOS MOCA and Ethernet routers.
1 Linksys router flashed with dd-wrt (the firmware is unimportant, I simply mention it because it's surprisingly easy to use)
Some MOCA thickness coax cables.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
My primary fios router is connected to the linksys via ethernet port 1 of fios router to wan port of linksys router.
The linksys is set to give off a local IP of 192.168.2.x, and connects to a fixed local IP of 192.168.1.50 for the FIOS router.
Spare fios router 1 is connected to the linksys. It automatically grabs an IP of 192.168.2.x. This allows for the router to immediately recognize the connection to the internet, and start routing.
MOCA cable leading out from spare router 1, connected to spare router 2 several rooms away.
Spare router 1 is giving off internet through the cable, as if it was an ONT box, and spare router 2 is accepting the internet connection, and routing back to the ethernet jacks on itself.
Now, here's the snag: I don't know how to do that last part, at all.
I seek to do this, instead of running a long ethernet cable, since the MOCA thickness cables are running through the walls to faceplates with female-to-female coax connectors on them (left over from back when we used directv, they left a lot of their crap behind). If I can get this to work, I can get internet up and running in the bedroom.
Is this at all possible?
