Hello! I recently recieved a TP Link AX1800 Mesh Network kit as a gift and was wondering if I could somehow make this work in a rented house with the only internet in being over coax.
Here is what my network looks like, and what I want it to be. We have been experiencing bad signal on the farther reaches of the house as the router is not central to the home. This is the only access point the landlord wants for some reason, and the coax does not have any other points in the house.

To my understanding a MoCA adaptor like from GoCoax would work for something like this? I see people getting their ethernet to their coax through their house but not the other way around in such a short way. Would this even be feasible? Thank you for reading.
If you only have one coax jack, unfortunately, you can’t use MoCA. The connection needs to get into the router and then out over Ethernet before a MoCA adapter can work its magic.
However, if I’m understanding your diagram correctly you don’t need MoCA to do what you want. All you need to do is connect one of the mesh units to your existing router with Ethernet. Then you can put the other ones wherever you want them, and it’ll work like your second diagram. Optimally, you would want to put your existing router in bridge mode, but it may not support that if it’s ISP-provided gear (many don’t).
